Quick summary<\/h5>\n

Apple’s new Siri chat app could have the option to auto-delete messages as an added privacy measure.<\/p>\n

The new app sounds like it will be similar to the existing Google Gemini app.<\/p>\n

Apple could bring a sweeping range of changes to Siri as it moves towards a smarter AI-powered version in iOS 27. As previously confirmed, the next version of Siri will be underpinned by Google’s Gemini to move Apple Intelligence forward.<\/p>\n

As we’re now approaching Apple’s WWDC event, we’re starting to hear more about Apple’s plans. While the next-gen Siri has been in process for some time \u2013 first previewed in 2024, before Apple’s partnership with Gemini \u2013 we’re expecting a preview on stage in June 2026.<\/p>\n

Today’s gossip surrounds the new Siri app. Apple is planning to have a standalone Siri app that functions more like ChatGPT. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg says that it will offer auto-deleting chats as an added privacy measure.<\/p>\n

Deletion is something that Apple offers in Messages, but it looks like that’s going to be extended to Siri too. It’s said that there will be options for deletion after 30 days, 1 year, or to leave them forever.<\/p>\n

Because the new Siri will be a conversational thing, the ability to delete is not only good for housekeeping, but means that no one can go back to see what you’ve been asking.<\/p>\n

While Gemini is going to underpin much of the intelligence of Apple’s new service, it’s believed that it is going to run on Apple’s private cloud servers, so Google won’t have access to all your data.<\/p>\n

Siri chat app sounds a lot like Gemini<\/h2>\n

Within the Siri chat app, you’ll have a list of chats that you’ve had, as well as the option to upload things to Siri. That will mean that the AI can use those documents or images to tailor responses.<\/p>\n
