Apple has announced that some of Siri’s most exciting new features, which were shown at WWDC 2024, will not be available until 2026. While Apple is planning to launch some improvements to Siri and its AI tools with iOS 18 this fall, the biggest updates are being pushed back.
At WWDC 2024, Apple revealed plans to make Siri much smarter, including the ability to control more apps, understand what’s on your screen, and remember things you’ve asked about before. However, Apple now says these advanced features need more time to be ready for everyone.
This means that, although iOS 18 will bring some changes to Siri, the most powerful upgrades, like using Siri to control third-party apps or have more natural conversations, are delayed. Apple wants to make sure these features work well and are safe before letting everyone use them.
For now, users can expect small improvements to Siri this year, but the major changes will arrive in 2026. Apple is focusing on making sure the new Siri is reliable and helpful when it finally launches for everyone.
In short, if you were hoping for a smarter Siri soon, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Apple is taking its time to get things right, promising a better Siri experience in the future.
