Apple launches a dedicated Siri app with iOS 27, presenting a chatbot‑style chat window that supports text, images, and files. Defaulting to the new Siri AI, the interface lets users keep a history of conversations. Long‑pressing the input field opens a quick‑switch menu that offers ChatGPT alongside Siri.

Switching between the two models is instant, yet context does not carry over. A conversation started with Siri loses its state when moved to ChatGPT, and vice versa. Closing and reopening the app also forces a return to Siri, raising questions about whether the behavior is intentional or a beta glitch.

At present, no permanent default for ChatGPT exists, nor is there a method to add other chatbots, though Apple might expand options later. For now, the Siri app remains a hybrid platform that lets users toggle between two large‑language models, offering a glimpse of how Apple may balance its AI ecosystem.

Consumers who favor ChatGPT’s broader knowledge can access it with a simple long‑press, but must restart interactions when switching back. Developers observing the beta may see this as a testing ground for future AI integration, hinting that Apple plans to make the platform more flexible once the OS stabilizes.
