Mark Gurman reports for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-03-31\/apple-tests-siri-feature-that-handles-multiple-commands-at-once?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=author_alert&amp;utm_term=260331&amp;utm_campaign=author_19842959\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomberg<\/a> that Apple is developing an upgrade to Siri that will dramatically improve its multitasking abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Multitasking, but for Siri<\/p>\n<p>The latest rumor highlights just how stagnant Siri has been over the years. <\/p>\n<p>As part of iOS 18, Apple improved Siri\u2019s ability to remember context between sequential requests. Siri in iOS 27 is expected to have actual persistent context, not just for back-to-back requests.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s new detail covers Siri\u2019s ability to multitask.

Siri currently requires users to make requests individually, making it a laggard in the\u00a0AI space.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Siri once stood out as state-of-the-art technology for its ability to parse natural language commands. It had intelligence that enabled looser requirements than strict voice command technology before it.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Siri has never been able to handle much complexity. Adding multiple items to a shopping list in a single command is about as advanced as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like Siri\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/03\/25\/new-details-on-apple-google-ai-deal-revealed-including-gemini-changes-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Gemini-powered <\/a>upgrade will be a total makeover for Apple\u2019s voice assistant in iOS 27.
