Apple tests new features for its Siri assistant with famous applications-including Uber, Facebook and YouTube-which makes it possible to use third-party application features with audio orders, According to a report from Bloomberg.
The test is made with the goal of re -renovation in the spring of 2026 that uses Apple’s App Nied To expand what Siri can do outside the Apple operating system and first -party applications. For example, people may be able to post Instagram comments or make purchases only using their voice, which is not a Siri that Siri can yet be done with most applications that Apple has not developed, according to the report.
Apple actor did not immediately respond to the comment.
Apple has offered an experimental offer for this type of job in the past year, but the repair may not reach until 2027. According to Mark Gorkman from Bloomberg, there are some internal doubts between Apple engineers whether the job will work well enough, especially in applications where errors may be expensive or harmful, such as health or health banking applications.
Gurman notes that if the company gets it properly, it will be a major feature that can be granted Apple, “a first new audio interface … this may be a success that many users have not seen.”
The creeping competition
Even if Apple succeeds in renewing Siri with new features that customers find it greatly, the company will do this under pressure from competitors on the artificial intelligence front.
He says, “Apple should be anxious, and it seems to be.” Vikas SharmaSenior Patent Patent Services Director at Quandary Peak Research. “ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Alexa are all advanced on Siri in the artificial intelligence race.”
Sharma expressed his doubts that the 2026 Spring version will include all the users expect from Siri’s main renewal. “At this stage, there is no update on any exciting capabilities to come, so the version may end until the increase is not revolutionary,” said Sharma.
But if Apple can make its magic and make it good on some of the features that gave a glimpse of last year, the effects may be deep.
Sharma says: “Imagine horseback reservation, trips, cars and hotels smoothly through third -party applications; request from Amazon; sharing files through Slack/email; or find email messages with specific attachments, through audio commands.” “With these capabilities, it can become a real AI’s auxiliary.
