with arrival iOS 15 Siri is getting smarter and more willing Iphone All kinds of new tricks. For unknown reasons, Apple will also reduce the capabilities of the voice assistant.
Basically, there will be a decrease in the number of third-party apps that integrate with Siri. Some of these include ordering an Uber, controls in your car and to-do lists. The reduction in the number of available commands, which was first introduced by Mac rumors Note, it also applies to upcoming operating systems iPad 15And Mac OS Monterey in a watchOS 8 It will be released later this year.
One of the most notable removals is the ability to order an Uber with Siri. When announcing the integration of third-party apps with Siri, Apple itself referred to this as a cool new feature. Other omissions include CarPlay categories, payments, menus, and VoIP calls. Apple states that Maps will continue to support third-party apps.
Starting with iOS 15, you will no longer be able to control the radio and the temperature of your car via Siri. You also no longer have the option to pay bills and transfer funds between accounts via the voice assistant.
Tough battle of Siri
This move by Apple is very strange. Siri should be given more functionality rather than less, especially in such cases.
An apple Unveiled in 2016 Third-party application integration. Then the company promised that “Siri in iOS 10 will be capable of much more.” During the keynote at WWDC 2016, Apple mentioned the option to order an Uber as an innovative addition to the program’s capabilities.
However, in the world of voice assistants, competition is fierce, including the presence of Google Assistant in a Amazon Alexa. Apple is committed to the privacy of its users, but this also ensures that it can process less data to update Siri.
Apple itself will likely offer an alternative to all the integrations it drops with iOS 15. Knowing the company, we’ll simply have to wait a little longer to see if that’s the case.
Apple still retains Siri Shortcuts, which allows you to create your own extensions for the voice assistant. However, these shortcuts require some technical knowledge, so unlike other Apple services, it won’t be easy for everyone to get started.
Here is the complete list of all 22 commands from third-party apps that Apple will no longer support with iOS 15:
