How to get Siri AI

Siri AI (Beta) is an entirely new version of Siri powered by the next generation of Apple Intelligence, and deeply integrated across your Apple devices. A more capable and conversational assistant, Siri AI can answer questions about almost anything and help you find what you need in the moment.

Siri AI understands personal context across your messages, emails, photos, and more, so you can find what you need just by asking. It can answer questions about what's on your screen, or go out to the web for up-to-date information to generate a helpful answer. And with even more systemwide app actions, you can get more done across your apps.

A dedicated Siri app uses iCloud to privately sync your conversation history across your devices, so you can start a conversation on iPhone and continue it on Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple Vision Pro.

Siri AI is available in beta for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27 when your device language and Siri language are set to the same supported language and your Apple Account is in an eligible region.

Turn on Siri AI

After you update your device, go to Settings, tap or click Siri, then tap or click Try Siri AI (Beta). If Siri is turned off, tap or click Turn On Siri first.

Follow the onscreen instructions to pick a voice, complete voice enrollment, and review your privacy settings. This will add you to a waitlist, and wait times can vary. Siri AI will begin to download automatically when your wait is complete.
