Apple had announced an upgrade to Siri in 2024. Now, with the partnership with Google, it is hoped that this wait may be over.

Apple users have been waiting a long time for a new version of their digital assistant, Siri. Apple announced an update in 2024 with new features, but the wait hasn't ended yet. Now, Apple has partnered with Google and will use the Gemini AI model for its products. Both companies stated in a statement that the new version of Siri would be launched this year. Let's explore what new features Siri might expect after receiving the Gemini boost.

These features are expected to be available in Siri

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced that Siri would be receiving new features with Apple Intelligence. The company then talked about several major upgrades, which could now be realized with the arrival of Gemini.

Personal Context Understanding

Apple has stated that Siri will be able to provide context-aware responses by understanding data from emails, messages, photos, and calendar events. For example, if a user needs a driver's license number while filling out a form, Siri could retrieve the number from a saved photo.

App Actions

The new version of Siri is expected to include the App Actions feature. This means that users can complete tasks without opening the app. Users can simply ask Siri to edit a photo and save it to a specific folder, and Siri will automatically do the task.

On-screen awareness

According to Apple's announcement, Siri will also gain on-screen awareness, allowing it to understand what's visible on the screen. If a user sends a new address in Messages, Siri will update the address with that contact upon receiving the command.
