Apple is testing a major upgrade to Siri that would allow the assistant to handle multiple requests within a single prompt, according to a report published today by Bloomberg.
The feature, currently in development for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, would mark a significant shift in how Siri works. As Mark Gurman reported, the capability would let users combine tasks — “asking Siri to check the weather, create a calendar appointment and send a message — all within a single prompt.”
That would address one of Siri’s long-standing limitations. Today, the assistant requires users to issue commands one at a time, making it less capable than newer AI tools that can handle more complex, multi-step instructions.
The upgrade is part of Apple’s broader effort to overhaul Siri, which was first introduced in 2011. The company is working to make the assistant more context-aware, allowing it to better understand personal information and what is happening on a user’s screen.
According to the report, this shift is tied to Apple’s wider AI push, as it tries to turn Siri into “a more capable tool that can understand context.” Future versions could allow users to complete more advanced tasks — such as retrieving a photo, editing it, and sending it — within a single command.
Apple is expected to showcase the updated Siri and other AI features at Worldwide Developers Conference 2026 in June. The rollout has been a long time coming. Apple first demonstrated a more AI-powered version of Siri in 2024 but delayed its release multiple times due to engineering challenges.
The new system would also bring Siri closer to modern AI assistants. As the report notes, the ability to process multiple requests in one query “has become standard among modern AI assistants powered by large language models,” including tools like ChatGPT and Gemini.
Apple has not confirmed the report at the time of reporting.
