The revamped version of Apple’s virtual assistant, Siri, is in testing. According to details published by Bloomberg, the tool can control third-party apps such as Uber, AllTrails, Threads, Temu, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp without touching the device’s screen.

With this move, the virtual assistant could go from “being a limited resource to becoming a true voice control tool, both in its own apps and in external services.”

How will Siri be able to help users? It is known that “it will be able to request an Uber ride, edit and send a photo, or add a product to the cart in an online store” using spoken commands.

The company relies on two fundamental pillars: Apple Intelligence and the improved App Intents system, aiming for Siri to “not only understand what the user wants, but also who is asking for it and under what circumstances.”

This change will not only affect the iPhone; customers with iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro will also be able to enjoy the functionality. Regarding security, “the company is considering restricting certain functions in banking or health apps to avoid errors that could have critical consequences.”

Furthermore, Apple has said that the rollout of the new version “will be gradual, and not all countries will receive the update at the same time. In the United States, the release is planned for spring 2026, possibly alongside iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, and VisionOS 26.4. This means that most users will have to wait more than a year to experience this transformation.”
