Overview
- A Bloomberg report Tuesday detailed Apple testing of a dedicated Siri chatbot app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that saves past chats and supports text or voice.
- The app-style Siri mirrors tools like ChatGPT with chat bubbles, search and favorites, plus the option to upload documents or photos for analysis.
- Deeper hooks are in testing across the OS, including an Ask Siri button in app menus, a Write with Siri keyboard option, and a plan to replace Spotlight search with a unified Siri interface.
- One UI being tried puts Siri in the Dynamic Island with a “Search or Ask” prompt and a translucent results panel that expands for ongoing conversation.
- Apple confirmed a partnership using Google’s Gemini models, and outlets say the overhaul is slated to debut at the June 8 WWDC keynote with many advanced features expected to arrive later in 2026.
