Information sourced from Marko Zivkovic, the editor of Apple Insider, cites reliable sources regarding the new capabilities of Siri that have been enhanced in iOS 18 and macOS 15, set to be unveiled at WWDC24 on Monday night.
A significant change is the supported command format. Previously, Siri required clear instructions on what to do, but with increased AI understanding of natural language, the supported commands are more diverse, and Siri can better analyze and predict.
Initially, Siri’s new capabilities will support Apple’s basic apps, including:
– Apple Books: Open specified books, command to turn to next/previous page, search within store, adjust font style, and more.
– Camera: Switch to video mode, open camera in specified photo mode, switch front/rear cameras.
– Keynote: Add objects to specified slides (e.g., add a cat image to slide 1), create new file with specified theme, specify sub-details on slides, and more.
– Mail: Schedule email sending, Undo, compose email, summarize emails, set up Smart Reply, and more.
– Notes: Create notes, add tags, move note folders, call up notes by account, and more.
– Photos: Search images based on criteria, rotate images, move images to albums, add filters to images, and more.
