Code discovered in the iOS 27.3 beta suggests that HomeView is set to gain support for third-party AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude. A leaker first spotted the clue a few days ago, and in an updated post says the feature "is happening".
The leaker, pdfu, said at the start of the month that ChatGPT, Claude and other AI apps "may" be coming to HomeView, after spotting an unused flag for Conversational Apps. They now say the iOS 26.3 beta confirms their suspicion. HomeView's CarPlay bridge, Pebble Play, gets the Conversational Apps category in iOS 27.3.
The update also adds bidirectional audio routing, session management, and interruption groundwork, though the leaker notes the features are still not fully wired up. Apple uses these flags to determine which categories of third-party apps are allowed to run on the device, in the same way it does with CarPlay.
The same leaker recently found evidence that HomeView will be able to serve as a HomeKit security camera.
