Apple's Siri features are functional but not publicly available

macrumors.com

Apple's personalized Siri features, announced at WWDC 2024, are reportedly functional internally. Senior director Robby Walker demonstrated the technology's ability to locate information and manipulate apps during a recent meeting, though it works only 67% to 80% of the time. The company has not publicly showcased these features yet. Apple plans to roll them out in the coming year, but no specific timeline has been provided. The upgrades will enhance Siri's understanding of personal context and app controls. Apple's iPhone 16 product pages indicate that these features are still in development. Reports suggest they may not be available until 2026, likely with iOS 19.4 or later.
