Mark your calendars for Monday, June 10! Apple’s WWDC 2024 is just around the corner, ready to unveil a treasure trove of software updates. And guess what? A juicy leak has spilled the beans on some of Siri’s impressive new tricks in iOS 18, adding to the swirling cauldron of rumors we’ve already heard.
According to the whispers picked up by AppleInsider, Siri is about to become your digital superhero. We’ve been teased about iOS 18 packing Siri with extra AI muscle, but this fresh scoop adds a laundry list of new capabilities.
What will happen to Siri in iOS 18?
First off, Siri’s getting cozy with a slew of iOS apps, practically all of them: Books, Calendar, Camera, Contacts, Files, Freeform, Keynote, Mail, Magnifier, News, Notes, Photos, Reminders, Safari, Stocks, and Voice Memos, plus the head honcho – the Settings app.
Speaking of Settings, Siri’s going deeper than ever. Picture this: you ask Siri to tweak your display brightness, shuffle your home screens, or even sift through your app library. This goes hand in hand with the buzz that the Settings app is getting a face-lift with iOS 18.

Whether it’s opening ebooks, setting camera timers, organizing your slides in Keynote, or unsubscribing from those pesky email newsletters, Siri’s got you covered. In Notes, it’ll manage folders and tags; in Photos, it’ll tidy up albums and slap on filters.
Need more examples? Siri will whip up watchlists in Stocks, to-do lists in Reminders, and voice recordings in Voice Memos. It’s like having a super-efficient personal assistant in your pocket.
The AI-powered tasks are equally impressive. Siri will summarize emails and threads, craft smart email replies, sort emails into neat categories, transcribe and summarize text notes, enhance photos, summarize websites, and even tidy up your notifications.
While we’ve heard snippets of these features before, this is the most detailed leak yet. It’s clear there’s a storm of updates coming our way on June 10 when WWDC kicks off, and we’ll be bringing you every exciting moment live. Here’s how you can watch along.
