Apple’s Siri AI Gains Actions Across 15 Apps as Developers Get Early Access
  • Apple’s first iOS 27.3 developer beta expands Siri AI actions across 15 built-in apps, and users can ask Siri which commands each supported app offers.

  • The new actions cover everyday tasks such as getting directions, managing a to-do list, sending messages and catching up on an audiobook, with Skills able to combine multiple actions for more complex requests.

  • Siri can also organize documents, delete files that have not been opened within a specified period, and manage Weather locations and notifications.

  • In Mail, users can unsubscribe from mailing lists or undo a recently sent email; in Safari, Siri can clear history, organize tabs and windows, close duplicate tabs and save articles to Reading List.

  • Siri AI can surface entities through Spotlight’s semantic index, including information that does not fit an existing predefined data structure.

  • Apple opened a developer preview on November 3, 2026, enabling third-party apps to make selected content and actions available to Siri AI through App Intents; a first customer release is expected in a few months, while App Store submissions for apps using the preview are expected to open in spring, with no year specified.

  • App Intents let Siri use an app’s exposed content and actions alongside personal context, on-screen information and natural-language requests to carry out supported tasks.

  • Developers can create actions such as checking deliveries, booking reservations and placing orders, then bundle actions into app Skills; how useful the feature becomes will depend on developer adoption and what they build.

  • The opening developer preview is available in the iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3 and visionOS 27.3 betas; watchOS 27.3 appears on Apple’s broader list of Siri AI beta platforms but not in the preview’s opening platform list.

  • Siri AI adds Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish and Norwegian, following improvements introduced in iOS 27.2.

  • The preview requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled device set to English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese or Spanish, and Siri AI is unavailable to users under 13.

  • Apple said in its November 3 announcement that Siri AI was unavailable in the European Union on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS.
