Apple is reportedly preparing to give Siri its biggest upgrade yet, with major new capabilities expected to roll out in Spring 2026. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Cupertino tech giant plans to introduce a revamped Siri experience alongside a new App Intents framework — a move that could make Apple’s AI assistant far more capable and interactive than ever before.
What’s Coming to Siri in 2026?
Originally slated for the iOS 18 release in 2024, many of Siri’s advanced AI upgrades were delayed as Apple fell behind in the AI race. Now, Apple is gearing up to launch them with iOS 26.4 next year.
The new App Intents system will let Siri perform complex, in-app actions with just your voice. This means users could:
-
Find, edit, and send photos hands-free
-
Post and comment on Instagram using only voice commands
-
Browse and shop online, adding items to the cart without touching the screen
-
Log in to services securely via voice
-
Control third-party apps like Amazon, Facebook, Temu, Threads, Uber, WhatsApp, YouTube, and even some games
Mark Gurman says Siri will be able to operate apps “like you would — with precision, inside their own interfaces,” thanks to the App Intents integration and Apple Intelligence AI.
Safety Limits for Banking & Health Apps
While the new Siri could handle a wide range of app functions, Apple is considering disabling or restricting features in banking and health apps to avoid errors that could cause critical problems. Internal tests reportedly revealed some mistakes when handling sensitive data.
When Will the New Siri Arrive?
The updated Siri experience is expected to debut with iOS 26.4, which will likely release around April 2026 — the same period Apple usually rolls out its spring updates.
Bottom Line: If Apple delivers on these promises, Siri could finally rival or even surpass other AI assistants, offering seamless in-app control and smarter suggestions. From photo editing to online shopping — all by voice — your iPhone may soon feel a lot more hands-free.
