Siri is coming to the iPhone Camera app, the company announced at WWDC.

Back in May, Mashable reported on Camera upgrade rumors, including an integration with Siri AI, and it was confirmed today. With Visual Intelligence, Siri Mode will be able to “see what you see” and be able to tell you more information about it. You can translate text and identify plants, or even get nutritional insights when you point your Camera at a plate of food (and also split the check that way, too).

Some Camera rumors didn’t pan out, though — at least not on the first day of WWDC. These included that the Camera would soon have widgets and be customizable in iOS 27. Default controls (like Night Mode, Flash, and Live Photos) won’t go away, but the leak hinted that advanced options would also be available.
