iOS 19: Siri will get a revolutionary update in 2026

Apple continues to work on improving Siri, and a future update to iOS 19 in 2026 promises to bring significant changes. The assistant will become more conversational and intelligent with the introduction of advanced Large Language Models (LLMs). However, this will require a wait.

Key Siri changes in iOS 19

1. Human-like interaction:
   Siri will become more natural in dialogs, approaching the level of ChatGPT and Gemini. This should eliminate one of the main complaints of users – the lack of “smartness” of the assistant.

Current Siri updates

In earlier phases, starting with iOS 18, Siri will be able to better recognize content on the screen. For now, however, its capabilities are far inferior to the competition, and Apple is actively working to close that gap.
