Apple Opens Siri AI to Third-Party Apps Through iOS 27.3 Developer Preview
Apple opens Siri AI to third-party apps through the iOS 27.3 Developer Preview, letting developers add its features.
Key points
- Developers can integrate Siri AI's new features in 'all apps' through the iOS 27.3 update.
- A new 'app skills' feature lets third-party developers combine several tasks into a single action.
- Apple is bringing Siri AI's expanded capabilities to its own apps, including Calendar, Mail, Maps and Safari.
Why it matters. The update lets third-party developers use Siri AI's personal context and on-screen awareness, which Apple says can help users complete requests within apps, as a Developer Preview.
Apple announced developers can now integrate Siri AI's new features in 'all apps' as part of the iOS 27.3 update rolling out on Tuesday. The update adds an 'app skills' feature that lets third-party developers combine several tasks into one action. Apple says users won't need to name an app in requests made while it is in the foreground or during a Live Activity.
