Apple is preparing to give Siri the most significant overhaul in its history, transforming the voice assistant from a glorified timer-setter into something that actually resembles a modern AI chatbot. The redesign is expected to take center stage at WWDC 2026, scheduled for June 8 at Apple Park.
The goal is straightforward: make Siri conversational, context-aware, and genuinely useful.
What the new Siri actually looks like
Apple is building an entirely new Siri app, a standalone experience that goes well beyond the floating orb we’ve been talking at since 2011.
The new app will reportedly include conversational history, meaning Siri will finally remember your previous requests within a session. It will also support file and image uploads, letting users share documents and photos directly with the assistant for analysis or context.
