Apple is testing a standalone app for its overhauled Siri

Apple is reportedly developing a standalone app for its revamped Siri voice assistant, which will debut at WWDC 2026. The new Siri will function as a systemwide AI agent with deep app integration and enhanced capabilities for controlling iOS/macOS features. It will leverage personal data from emails and messages to complete tasks and provide news summaries.

Background

Siri has been Apple's built-in voice assistant since 2011, but has faced criticism for falling behind competitors like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa in capabilities. Apple Intelligence represents Apple's major push to revitalize its AI offerings.
