GermanyWith the third beta version of iOS 27, Apple's improved AI-powered voice assistant, Siri AI, now appears to have the ability to access data from third-party apps. Testers were able to query information from individual apps using voice commands, demonstrating a significant advantage for Apple. This feature allows Siri to leverage existing APIs, potentially making many apps compatible with Siri at launch without requiring new APIs. Testers reported retrieving the charge status of a Tesla vehicle through the Tessie app rather than the official Tesla app, and similarly accessed the charge status of a Ford vehicle via the manufacturer’s app. The integration relies on Apple’s App Intents framework, which has been used for shortcuts, Spotlight search, and widgets. While SiriKit, the older framework, is being phased out, developers cannot yet submit apps based on the new iOS 27 SDK. EU users will need to wait for the release, as Apple is delaying the update due to ongoing discussions with the European Commission.
