Apple has been enhancing Siri's capabilities with the introduction of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.2, and additional updates are expected in 2025 with iOS 18 and iOS 19. By this time next year, Siri is anticipated to become significantly smarter if Apple delivers on its promises.
Features Coming in iOS 18 Some of Siri's most impressive features are still in development but were previewed during WWDC when Apple Intelligence was first introduced. These updates are expected to roll out with iOS 18.4 in the spring.
Personal Context Siri will gain the ability to track your emails, messages, files, photos, and other content on your device. By understanding the origin and location of your data, Siri can assist more effectively in locating specific information, such as a flight number in an email, a downloaded file, or a shared photo.
This personalized context will also allow Siri to learn more about you, enabling it to streamline task management and device organization.
Onscreen Awareness Siri will become aware of what's displayed on your screen, making it easier to interact with onscreen content. For instance, if someone texts you an address, you can instruct Siri to 'add this to my contacts,' and Siri will understand the reference.
Currently, in iOS 18.2, Siri can share screenshots of your display with ChatGPT for similar functionality. However, Apple has clarified that this differs from the more advanced onscreen awareness feature planned for future updates.
App Integration Siri is set to integrate more deeply with both Apple and third-party apps, unlocking hundreds of new actions. Examples include retrieving articles from Safari's Reading List or sending location-specific photos, such as 'send the photos from Friday's party to Eric.'
Additionally, Siri will support multi-step tasks, such as editing a photo and then sending it—all with a single command.
Features Rumored for iOS 19 While the features above are part of iOS 18, rumors suggest that iOS 19 will introduce a next-generation Siri powered by large language models (LLMs). These models, similar to those used by ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude, will allow Siri to hold dynamic conversations and perform more complex tasks. This update aims to make Siri's interactions feel more human-like and competitive with leading AI chatbots.
Apple reportedly plans to replace the current version of Siri with this LLM-powered version. While it may be announced with iOS 19, its full functionality could arrive in later updates, potentially in 2026.
Timeline for New Siri Features iOS 18 Updates: Features like personal context, onscreen awareness, and app integration are expected in iOS 18.4, likely releasing in April after iOS 18.3 launches in late January. iOS 19 Updates: New Siri functionality will be revealed in June at WWDC, with iOS 19 launching in September 2025. However, some features might roll out in updates throughout 2025 and into 2026.
