In the latest WWDC keynote, Siri is shown as much more capable and conversational. It can:

  • Answer questions using world knowledge
    • e.g. find out when a concert is, how to get tickets, or identify a landmark from a photo.
  • Understand what’s on your screen
    • Siri can use on-screen awareness to identify content and help with it.
  • Work with your personal context
    • It can search through things like photos, messages, files, and calendar events to find what you need.
  • Take actions in and across apps
    • For example, it can help create reminders, draft emails, or act on app content.
  • Have back-and-forth conversations
    • You can ask follow-up questions, brainstorm ideas, and get more detailed answers.
  • Provide visual intelligence
    • Siri can understand images and physical objects around you and suggest relevant actions.
  • Help with writing
    • It can draft, rewrite, and proofread text, and give feedback on your writing.
  • Continue conversations across devices
    • A dedicated Siri app lets you revisit and pick up conversations on iPhone, iPad, Mac, watchOS, and visionOS.

Apple also highlighted improvements like a more expressive voice, better dictation, and deeper integration across platforms.
