Next month at WWDC 2026, Apple is expected to finally live up to its AI Siri promises, and more. The company has long been working on a new standalone Siri app to boost how users interact with Siri and Apple Intelligence – and it should be debuting in beta next month.
According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new Siri app will come with a privacy feature similar to one on iMessage: auto-deleting chats. He also expects Siri to launch with a beta label even when it’s available publicly in the fall, similar to some previous Apple rollouts.
New Siri app with auto-deleting chats
Despite initially having hesitancy to launching a Siri chatbot, it sounds like Apple will be doing exactly that with iOS 27. There’ll be a new standalone Siri app with conversation history, the ability to start new chats or voice conversations, and upload files to Siri. You’ll also have a new universal gesture for entering a new Siri chat.
Of course, this all hinges on Siri being good – which should hopefully be the case with the Apple and Google deal to use Gemini models to power Siri.
