The evolution of Siri keeps going because Apple has included extra features in Siri by using Apple Intelligence in iOS versions 18.1 and 18.2. In any case, more exceptional modifications are anticipated in 2025 for iOS 18 and iOS 19. In line with Apple’s vision and promises, Siri will be quite clever by the next year as predicted.
Secured Details of Apple Intelligence
Updates in iOS 18
The most interesting part about Siri’s extended features is that they are going to be part of the Apple Intelligence, which was showcased at WWDC , but it’s still incomplete. Most of these enhancements should be available with iOS version 18.4 that will be released in the spring of next year.
Personal Context
There will be expansion of Siri’s functionality when it comes to recording and structuring details from emails, messages, files and photos. If the information is present in your device, Siri will know how to search for it and make proper use of it.
Siri is now able to make use of this customized information, and therefore, is able to help one search for specific items like a flight number concealed in an email or files that one has downloaded or a photo someone shared. Siri will now acquire more knowledge about the user’s lifestyle and assist in completing tasks and switching on the device.
Examples Apple provided cover:
- “Play the podcast that Jamie recommended.”
- “What time does Mom’s plane arrive?”
Onscreen Awareness
Siri will be able to see whatever you have on your screen and give context-relevant commands. As an illustration, if someone sends you an address in a text, you are able to give vertical instructions like ask Siri to “make sure that you add this to my contacts”, and it will get the logic.
Though iOS 18.2 already allows Siri to forward a screenshot to ChatGPT so that it can assist, Apple has explained that the new screen awareness capability will work separately from ChatGPT and be more useful.
App Integration
Siri is now even more embedded within the apps, which means that it can carry out hundreds of additional operations in both Apple’s and third parties’ applications. Examples of these include fetching articles from the Safari Reading List or sending photos that are intended for certain locations.
As a case in point, consider the following:
“Eric, please send me the snapshots taken at the party last Friday.”
Multi-step requests such as; Take a photo, edit it, and then send it in just one request.
Rumored Features for iOS 19
Looking to the future, it’s alleged that Apple is currently developing a new Siri for IOS 19 based on large language models (LLMs) like those which power ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude.
This Siri iteration will allow comprehensible fluid speech interaction as well as optimization of intricate operations. This is the Siri system that Apple intends to launch because of its LLM capabilities which are more effective than the existing Siri model. Nevertheless, it may be possible to optimize the Siri application only in 2026 with a software update is enabled unlike how Apple Intelligence was enabled after 18’ which was sequentially enabled for the users – gradually.
During WWDC in June, one can find proper information for the further development of these technologies, and iOS 19 new features can be expected for September 2025.
How New Siri Features Are Timed
iOS 18.4 Changes: Late March and early April is when iOS 19 public beta users will receive updates to Siri. This update emerges post the testing of iOS 18.3 app which was set in January.
iOS 19 New Features:
The iOS 19 new features were introduced and presented at WWDC in June 2025 with a few functionalities set to be enabled in the September. While still others will remain interactive until the years 2025 and 2026 respectively with different versions of the app.
