In your phone\u2019s Settings, go to the Siri AI section and scroll down to App Access. Then, choose which app you want to change and toggle Learn from this App to the left. \u201cAllow Siri to learn how you use this app to make suggestions across apps,\u201d reads a beta version of the description under this toggle. These are enabled by default if Siri AI is turned on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This revamped Siri is baked into the phone\u2019s search function. So, if you swipe down in the middle of the screen, Siri pops up with a Search or Ask bar. You can type into that blank space or tap the microphone icon to ask your question. If you hit enter, more often than not it will send the query to Siri for answers. For example, I typed \u201cWhat\u2019s a good route for driving to Sacramento?\u201d into Siri. It pulled up the Maps app with a suggested driving path pre-chosen. Not bad! If you want, you can still tap Show Results below the text bar for the more traditional web search vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Onscreen Awareness<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In addition to personal context from that indexing process, Siri can also pull details from what\u2019s currently visible on your screen. This type of onscreen awareness was available before as Siri\u2019s \u201cVisual Intelligence,\u201d and it contributes to Siri feeling like it\u2019s actually helpful no matter what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This makes it easy to double-check something I\u2019m seeing on social media. For example, I was scrolling on Bluesky and saw multiple posts about the singer Lorde criticizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/meta-new-smart-glasses-are-cheaper-colorful-and-meta-branded\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Meta\u2019s AI smartglasses<\/a>, but I hadn\u2019t seen a source for this news. So, when one of the posts was visible on my screen, I asked Siri AI, \u201cWhere did she say this?\u201d I didn\u2019t need to provide specifics about who \u201cshe\u201d was or what comment I was referring to; Siri pulled that info from my screen. Then, Siri confirmed that this happened at a festival in Madrid and provided links where I could read more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For Siri AI, seeing is believing. Well, at least seeing what\u2019s on your screen and what\u2019s around you. Beyond just onscreen awareness, Apple has a new Siri tab in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/apples-iphone-camera-app-is-getting-an-ai-upgrade-in-ios-27\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">camera app<\/a>, alongside your standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/apple-camera-chief-thinks-ai-can-give-you-superpowers\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">photo and video options<\/a>. If you tap the circular button in the middle, Siri automatically analyzes the images and provides you with a quick paragraph of context. Tapping the message icon on the left uploads an image to Siri with the option to add a prompt for more details. Tapping the image search icon on the right browses the web for relevant links.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Electronics\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Siri-AI-SOURCE-Reece-Rogers.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you swipe down on that paragraph from Siri AI, it expands into a longer answer with source links.<\/p>\n<p>Photograph: Reece RogersEverything, Everywhere<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Siri AI is more than just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/iphone-buying-guide\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple\u2019s smartphone<\/a> assistant; it\u2019s also part of the user experience across the entire ecosystem. Siri is on iPads and Macs, with screenshot integrations on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/the-best-ipad\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPads<\/a> and a dedicated shortcut on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/which-macbook-should-you-buy\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Macs<\/a>. Even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/apple-vision-pro\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vision Pro<\/a> has this new Siri, for the handful of readers who actually own that hardware. There are hardware requirements, though. For example, Siri AI is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer devices\u2014even if you can download iOS 27, it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll automatically get the new Siri.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Zoning in on the iPhone, Siri AI\u2019s features are even more widespread than I\u2019ve already mentioned above. \u201cWrite with Siri\u201d is another tool for when you\u2019re drafting notes or composing text messages. For example, when I was texting my partner about how to organize our apartment, I tapped the Siri button, told it the gist of what I wanted to communicate (more storage bins). Then it drafted a paragraph-long text message that sounded decently like how I would write and loaded it into the message box. A step up from the auto-suggestions of yore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Don\u2019t want Siri to use your interactions with a specific app?
