Apple is reportedly planning a standalone Siri app for iOS 27 and macOS 27, according to a Bloomberg report by Mark Gurman. The app would function similarly to Messages, with a redesigned interface featuring a Dynamic Island integration on iPhones. When activated, Siri would prompt users to "Search or Ask," with a pill-shaped "Searching" indicator and a glowing icon during processing. The interface would expand into a translucent panel with Apple’s Liquid Glass design, allowing for conversational interactions.

Gurman notes the app is being tested on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, suggesting a cross-device rollout. The redesign marks a departure from Siri’s visual consistency since iOS 18, introducing a more modern, app-like experience. Apple’s shift toward a standalone Siri app aligns with broader efforts to enhance AI capabilities, though specifics about functionality remain unclear.

The report also highlights Apple’s use of Google’s Gemini AI models to power Siri and Apple Intelligence features. While these tools were first previewed at WWDC 2024, delays pushed their release beyond iOS 18. Testing of the standalone Siri app on multiple platforms indicates Apple is prioritizing seamless AI integration across its ecosystem.

If launched, the standalone Siri app could redefine user interactions with Apple’s virtual assistant, offering a more intuitive and visually cohesive experience. However, details about performance metrics or release timelines remain unconfirmed. Stay tuned to 9to5Mac for updates as WWDC approaches.
