iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 will include a standalone Siri app for the first time, providing a dedicated space to interface with Siri.
Chatbot Siri
Apple needs a Siri app because Siri turns into a chatbot. Siri will work like ChatGPT or Claude, able to pull information from the web to provide answers to questions.
Siri will be integrated into iOS, iPadOS and macOS at a system level and will be able to draw on device information. He will know more personal context than before and will be able to access emails, texts, photos, calendar information, contacts, notes and other personal data. Some of what Siri will be able to do:
- Search the web for information
- Generate images
- Generate content
- Summarize the information
- Scan downloaded files
- Use personal data to perform tasks
- Write emails, notes and texts
- Control device features and settings
- Search for content on the device, extracting information from emails, messages, files, etc.
Siri will be integrated into Apple apps such as Mail, Messages, Photos and Apple TV.
Siri app design
The standalone Siri app will look similar to the ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini apps. BloombergMark Gurman of shared a mockup of what the Siri app will look like.
Siri will support text or voice conversations. The app will open with an “Ask Siri” bar where users can enter a question. A paperclip icon will be available for attaching images, PDFs, and other documents. Apple will provide prompts with suggestions for what users can request.
The questions will resemble iMessage chat bubbles, with Apple adopting a design familiar to users. Responses will include links, images, and other information.
A section of the app will be dedicated to past conversations which can be displayed in a card-style interface with conversation summaries or a list view. Users will be able to access a conversation to continue it.
Dark interface
Apple’s Siri interface, both inside and outside the dedicated Siri application, will adopt dark colors. Apple’s WWDC website hints at the colors it plans to use for Siri.

The website features the Swift bird logo in white on a black background, with subtle highlights in pink, dark blue, purple and orange. The colors are reminiscent of the current Siri animation that surrounds the iPhone screen when Siri is activated, but the shades are softer and less saturated.
WWDC2026
