Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says<\/a> That’s about to change.<\/p>\nThe new standalone Siri app coming with iOS 27 will give users control over how long Apple keeps their conversation history. Siri app privacy options will include three options: auto-delete chats after 30 days, after a year, or keep them indefinitely. This reflects how the Messages app already handles retention. You choose what you’re comfortable with and Siri follows suit.<\/p>\n
What else does the new Siri app bring?<\/h2>\n
The Siri app is a huge change compared to those privacy controls. It’s a full chatbot experience with conversation history, file uploads, and new chat creation. Two interface options let you start a new conversation directly or browse a messaging-style list of previous conversations.<\/p>\n
On the backend, Apple is routing requests through its private cloud compute systems. This matters because Siri now runs on Google Gemini, following a multi-year deal announced by Apple and Google earlier this year. Apple says Google won’t use your conversations for model training, though the specifics of how exactly this works are vague.<\/p>\n
This is where Siri app privacy becomes interesting as an issue to discuss. Gurman notes that Apple plans to ship the whole thing with a beta label at launch, the same approach it took with Apple Intelligence in iOS 18. The auto-delete controls are a real step up. Whether the rest of the product is ready is a question WWDC will answer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
