Apple announced a new iPhone feature this week that can automatically pull confirmation numbers and reservation codes from a user’s inbox and display them inside the Phone app during a live support call, no app-switching required. Called Call Context<\/strong>, the feature is part of the new Siri AI unveiled at WWDC26, according to 9to5Mac. It works without ever analyzing call audio.<\/p>\n

The privacy design is central to how it operates. Call Context looks at who the user is calling, not what they’re saying, to decide what to surface. Everything runs on device, and Apple says nothing is shared with Apple or any third party, per MacRumors.<\/p>\n

Hardware eligibility is a hard gate: the feature requires iPhone 15 Pro or later, and Siri AI will roll out as an English-language beta later this year rather than at iOS 27 launch, per Apple’s announcement.<\/p>\n

What iOS 27 Call Context does and what Apple hasn’t confirmed<\/h2>\n

When a user dials a business, Call Context can proactively surface relevant details and display them inside the Phone app. Apple describes this behavior as working proactively, so in theory the right information appears as the conversation unfolds, not after a manual search, 9to5Mac reported.<\/p>\n

Apple has demonstrated two scenarios. A user calling an airline to change a flight: the Phone app can automatically find the confirmation code from Mail. A customer calling a retailer to process a return: the system can surface the relevant order number. Both examples address the same friction point, being asked for a reference number you have but can’t locate fast enough, per 9to5Mac and MacRumors.<\/p>\n

Mail is the confirmed data source. Whether Call Context also draws from Wallet, Messages, calendar invites, or third-party travel and retail apps remains unaddressed. How the system handles multiple matching results say, two open orders or two upcoming flights hasn’t been documented. The UI hasn’t been shown publicly either, so whether details appear as a card on the call screen, a Siri overlay, or…<\/p>\n
