What to know

  • Apple has rebuilt Siri for iOS 27 with AI-powered personal context understanding, allowing it to search users' emails, messages, and conversations to answer contextual questions.
  • The feature is limited to iPhone 15 Pro or newer, and compatible Macs and iPads with Apple Intelligence support.
  • English is currently the only supported language; French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish support begins rollout in October.

“Say you're on a trip and you've just arrived at the airport. Instead of having to search through your emails for the hotel's address, just ask Siri. It will likely find the right address based on your emails and conversations.”

    “The new Siri AI has what Apple calls "personal context understanding". Once you install iOS 27, you may notice a notification in the Settings app about "Optimize Search and Siri." This means your device is learning everything about you, from emails to messages.”
