Siri

• Personal context understanding
  With the on-device semantic index provided by Apple Intelligence, Siri can understand emails, messages, photos, calendar events, files, and more, and can provide answers to questions that are personal to you. For example, when you say “What was that movie that Jamie told me I should check out?” Siri will dig up the message from last week. When you’re filling out a form and say  “Add my passport number here,” Sirican extracts the number from a saved photo of your passport and drops it in.

• In-app actions
  Siri can take hundreds of new actions on your behalf, in both first- and third-party apps. The next time you’re editing photos, you’ll be able to say “Make this photo warmer,” and Siri will make adjustments using the Photos app. Siri can take actions across apps too, so after you’re done editing that photo, say “Add this to my ratatouille recipe note” and Siri will jump from the Photos app to the Notes app to take care of it.

• Onscreen awareness
  Siri will be able to understand and take action with things on your screen, so when a friend texts you recommending a new coffee shop in the neighborhood, you can simply say “How long would it take me to walk there from home?” and Siri will understand just what you mean. More resilient request handlingIf you stumble over your words or change your mind mid-sentence, Siri will still follow along. For example, you might say “Siri, set an alarm—wait no, sorry, I meant a timer for 10 minutes—actually, let’s make that 15.”

• Maintains conversational context
  Siri remembers what you talked about in recent requests, so if you ask when the Warriors are playing next and then say “Add that to my calendar,” Siri will know just what you mean.

• Product knowledge
  Siri can answer thousands of questions about the features and settings on your Apple products by drawing on large language models that are trained on Apple support documentation.

• Type to Siri
  You now have the option to type to Siri at any time, and you can ask Siri all the same things by text as you can ask by voice. You can switch fluidly between text and voice, so you can communicate in whatever way feels right for the moment.

• Predictive text in Siri keyboard
  As you type a request to Siri, you’ll see predictive text that helps you complete your request faster. This predictive text model is designed specifically to help accelerate Siri requests.

• Suggestions for Siri keyboard
  Suggested requests appear below the keyboard as you type, giving you ultrafast access to actions that Siri can help you with.

• More natural voice
  Siri sounds more natural, expressive, and clear, and is now synthesized entirely on the device by Apple Intelligence’s new language models.

• ChatGPT integration
  Siri can tap into ChatGPT to help you with certain requests when it determines ChatGPT can provide a helpful answer. You can also ask questions about photos and documents including PDFs and presentations. You will be asked before requests or information are sent to ChatGPT. Siri then presents you with the answer directly.

Focus

• Reduce interruptions
  Focus understands the content of your notifications and selectively surfaces only the ones that might need immediate attention, like a text about today’s daycare pickup or a last-minute invite to dinner tonight.
