Siri AI will soon be able to carry out tasks across a wider range of apps.
Apple will now let Siri AI perform actions across third-party apps. As part of the iOS 27.3 update rolling out on Tuesday, Apple announced developers can now integrate Siri AI’s new features in “all apps,” allowing the voice assistant to draw on a user’s personal context, process natural language prompts, and use on-screen awareness to complete requests.
The update, which is rolling out as part of a Developer Preview, also adds a new “app skills” feature that third-party developers can create to combine several tasks into a single action. In Apple’s developer documentation , the company says users won’t have to mention an app’s name in their request while it’s in the foreground, during a Live Activity, or in a conversation with Siri AI about the app.
“For example, a person might request a ride with a ride share app, follow updates to the app’s Live Activity while they wait for their ride to arrive, then request to move the pickup location to a different address by saying ‘Hey Siri, change my ride pickup to a new address,’” Apple says. As noted by 9to5Mac , Apple previously made a smaller set of features available to third-party developers.
Apple is bringing Siri AI’s expanded capabilities to its own apps as well, including Calendar, Files, Finder, Journal, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, Preview, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts, and Weather apps. “Users can do things like find a coffee shop they visited last week or archive files that haven’t been opened in over a year,” according to Apple. The company notes that users can ask Siri AI what it can do in each app.
