iOS 27 will finally feature an enhanced Siri, including a dedicated app that will allow users to set the app to auto-delete conversations they have with the app, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Gurman’s comments came in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter. Gurman says Apple plans to market the feature as a key privacy advantage over its rivals’ AI software.
Gurman says his sources tell him that in the Settings panel for the new Siri app, “users will be able to choose to keep conversations for 30 days, one year, or forever.” A similar feature is already available in the Messages app’s Settings.
“Most leading AI chatbots today rely heavily on histories and memory systems to personalize responses and improve future interactions,” says Gurman. “But Apple will place tighter limits around how memory works, including restrictions on what information can persist and how long it can be retained.”
Users will be able to decide if the Siri app opens showing either a grid of prior conversations or a new chat screen.
While Apple’s new and improved Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini models, Apple apparently won’t be publicizing this, considering Google’s well-known propensity for farming its users’ data.
Gurman also mentions that the new Siri app will be labeled as “beta.”
