Apple’s long-struggling voice assistant, Siri, is finally getting a major overhaul with the upcoming release of iOS 26 this fall. Under new leadership, Siri will gain access to users’ personalized data and introduce hundreds of new actions, including multi-app requests. This means you’ll be able to perform complex tasks hands-free without needing to open apps.
One significant advantage of Siri’s new abilities is its knowledge about you and your personal life. For instance, you can ask Siri to play a podcast recommended by Jamie or find the details of your mom’s flight. With onscreen awareness, Siri will gain the ability to understand content on your screen, letting you reference it naturally like you would with a human assistant.
These upgrades will make Siri more intelligent and useful than ever before. The new features are expected to debut this fall, offering users a better experience with their iPhones. Stay tuned for the full potential of Siri’s capabilities in iOS 26.
