Apple to Unveil New Siri at WWDC 2026 with Dedicated App, New 'Ask Siri' Button and a Whole New Look
Apple's iOS 27 will feature a standalone Siri app with chat-style interactions and a systemwide Ask Siri toggle, enhancing AI integration across devices.
- Apple is developing a standalone Siri app, codenamed "Campo," to compete with chatbots like ChatGPT, unveiling the overhaul at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8 as part of iOS 27 and macOS 27.

- Replacing Spotlight Search, the updated assistant will function as a systemwide AI agent, allowing users to interact via text or voice with conversations displayed in a thread-like format similar to the Messages app.
- While Apple will showcase "AI advancements" at the June 8 keynote, many features including on-screen awareness and personal data access may not be ready until Fall 2026 as the company continues testing.
