Apple in 2024 showed a swanky demo of what it said would be a new, intelligent Siri that would connect with different apps to fetch all kinds of information. But this new Siri has yet to see the light of day, as the company seemingly hasn’t been able to get it ready.
However, Bloomberg now reports that Apple is testing a version of Siri that will be able to take actions on your behalf across various apps by following voice commands. The company plans to release a new version of App Intents, its framework that gives developers the ability to allow users access to parts of their app via different systems, like search and Shortcuts.
Bloomberg reported that if this new version of Siri and App Intents works well, a user would be able to ask Siri to search for a photo, edit it, and send it to someone; post comments on a social app; or log in to a service.
The company is already testing this feature with apps like Uber, AllTrails, Threads, Temu, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp, the report said. The publication previously reported that Apple planned to release an overhauled version of Siri in spring 2026.
