Apple Opens Siri AI to All Apps in iOS 27.3, Letting It Execute Third-Party Tasks

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Nov 3

Summary

  • Tuesday’s iOS 27.3 developer preview lets third-party developers plug Siri AI into all apps, so the assistant can complete actions beyond Apple’s own software.
  • Apple said Siri AI can use personal context, natural-language requests and on-screen awareness, and users often will not need to name an app when it is already in the foreground or active.
  • A new “app skills” feature lets developers bundle several steps into one voice command; Apple’s example shows Siri changing a ride-share pickup address during an active trip update.
  • The expansion also reaches Apple apps including Mail, Maps, Messages, Photos and Safari, broadening Siri AI from a previously smaller third-party feature set into a wider app-control layer.
