Quick Summary<\/h5>\n

A report has surfaced suggesting Apple\u2019s built-in camera app will get a new Siri mode in iOS 27.<\/p>\n

It notes that the Siri mode will offer Visual Intelligence, along with a few enhancements of that feature.<\/p>\n

The Bloomberg report said: \u201cApple Inc. is planning to embed artificial intelligence more deeply into the iPhone\u2019s camera app, adding a new Siri mode alongside the standard photo and video options in its upcoming iOS 27 operating system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gurman added that Apple is planning to add the Visual Intelligence feature to the camera app itself. Currently, Visual Intelligence can be accessed via the Camera Control, Action Button, Lock Screen or Control Centre, depending on what you\u2019ve…<\/p>\n
