A Smarter Siri

Since day one, people have been amazed by Siri’s capabilities. Apple’s virtual assistant was smart, funny, and helpful. Of course, after the honeymoon phase was over, we quickly realized that Siri had limitations.

Since then, we’ve been asking for a smarter and more powerful Siri, but Apple hasn’t delivered. That is, until now. With the new software updates, Apple is launching a new Apple Intelligence that will make Siri the smartest it’s ever been.

With the update, Siri will be able to understand you even better, even if you correct yourself mid-sentence. Moreover, it’ll also be able to understand the context of what you’re talking about based on a previous request you made.

Not only that, but Siri will also know your contacts and previous conversations you’ve had with them. For instance, you can ask Siri to show you a link a specific friend sent you or to show you a picture of you and your partner. 

The best part is that Apple is focusing on privacy for its new AI technology. Apple claims that most of these prompts will be handled on your device, and Siri won’t send your data to an external server. When it does need to send that data, though, it will be to an Apple silicon server that will not store your data at all.
