Apple Introduces Dedicated Siri App At WWDC 2026

Introduction

At WWDC 2026, Apple introduced a redesigned AI-powered Siri, expanding the assistant’s capabilities and introducing new ways for users to interact with Apple’s artificial intelligence features.

Innovative Assistant Features

One of the key changes is the introduction of a dedicated Siri app. The new interface allows users to access previous conversations, review past interactions and continue ongoing discussions without starting from scratch. The design brings Siri closer to modern AI chatbot experiences by providing a more structured view of conversation history.

Expanded Capabilities Across Modalities

The updated Siri supports multiple forms of interaction, including text input, voice conversations, document uploads and image uploads. Apple said these additions are intended to make the assistant more flexible across a wider range of tasks and use cases.

Seamless Integration With Apple Ecosystem

The new Siri experience will be available across Apple’s ecosystem, including iOS, macOS and iPadOS. Conversation history and user interactions will be synchronised through iCloud, allowing users to continue sessions across devices while remaining within Apple’s privacy framework.

Broader AI Expansion At WWDC

The Siri update formed part of a wider set of artificial intelligence announcements at WWDC 2026. Apple also introduced new AI features across its software platforms as the company continues to expand Apple Intelligence throughout its ecosystem.

A New Twitter-Inspired Social Network Is Taking Shape

A new social network called Twitter.now is entering the market, with a founding team that includes former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. The service is being developed by startup Operation Bluebird.

As Ars Technica reported, X sued the company last year and asked a Delaware judge to block the launch. Operation Bluebird argued in a petition that X had abandoned trademarks including “Twitter” and “Tweet.”

Coates has said the project is not an attempt to recreate the original Twitter. In a LinkedIn post, he described the platform as a new public space focused on trust, transparency and user choice.

AI System To Rate Posts

Twitter.now is currently being tested, with early access priced at $20. Its main feature is VERA, an AI system designed to evaluate posts, verify claims and provide sources and context.

Posts receive a trust score, with users eventually able to set a minimum score to filter their feeds. The company says this approach will give people more control over what they see instead of leaving those decisions entirely to an algorithm.

Moderation Remains A Challenge

Scaling moderation will be one of the platform’s biggest tests. Social networks have repeatedly struggled with content moderation as their communities grow, and newer platforms such as Bluesky have faced similar criticism.

Operation Bluebird says VERA will form the basis of its moderation and verification system. A second version is already planned, with expanded tools that would let users set a specific trust threshold for the posts appearing in their feeds.

For now, Twitter.now remains in an early testing phase, combining the familiarity of the Twitter name with an AI-driven approach to evaluating online information.
