A Revamped Siri Is Coming

Apple is popularly known as a company that prioritizes privacy, and that could be a major pillar of its revamped Siri experience launching with iOS 27 later this year. According to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning a feature for the new Siri app that would auto-delete chats after a set period of time, mimicking a feature in the company's Messages app.

The report notes that you'll be able to adjust the settings for the new Siri app to keep chats for 30 days, one year or forever. Similar settings are already available for iMessage chats, reinforcing Apple's focus on making chatting with Siri similar to the experience its users already have with the Messages app.

That's slightly different from how chatbots from other companies work, requiring you to manually delete chats or affirmatively start a chat in an incognito mode that cuts them off from storage and model training.

Gurman also says that the new Siri experience could still launch with a beta label when it ships with iOS 27 later this year. That's reminiscent of Siri's original launch in 2011, which was tagged as beta to signify that the experience would continue to evolve. It's notable this time, however, as the experience has already been delayed for two years since Apple first announced an AI overhaul for Siri's capabilities at WWDC 2024.

Finally, Apple may be looking to boost Genmoji usage with iOS 27. Gurman notes that the company is planning to add a "suggested Genmoji" option on the iOS keyboard. The experience would create suggested Genmoji "created from your photos and your commonly typed phrases," according to the description attached to a new toggle in the iOS 27 keyboard settings.

All of these updates are expected to be revealed first at WWDC 2026, Apple's annual developer conference kicking off on June 8. That's before iOS 27 is expected to launch to customers with this year's new iPhones this fall.
