Apple has rolled out a major AI-powered Siri update in iOS 18.2, bringing faster responses, deeper app integration, and more personalized user experience
Apple has officially released the new AI-powered Siri upgrade with the rollout of iOS 18.2, marking one of the biggest improvements to the assistant in years. The update focuses on speed, personalization, and smarter on-device processing powered by Apple Intelligence.
The improved Siri can now understand follow-up questions more accurately, handle multi-step tasks, and offer contextual suggestions based on user activity. Apple confirmed that several functions now run on-device AI, increasing both privacy and performance.
One of the standout features is the new “Smart Actions”, which allows Siri to perform tasks inside apps without requiring manual inputs. For example, users can ask Siri to edit photos, schedule messages, extract information from screenshots, or summarize long articles instantly.
Apple has also enhanced the visual interface, giving Siri a dynamic glowing border and better natural-language responses. Early users report that Siri is noticeably faster, especially when handling back-to-back prompts.
Developers will soon gain access to new SiriKit tools, enabling deeper integration with third-party apps. This update signals Apple’s growing push into AI-driven user experiences and sets the foundation for more advanced features expected in 2025.
