Apple gives Siri a dedicated app for chat history and new requests

In short: Apple has announced a standalone Siri app that lets people browse, revisit, and start Siri conversations in one place.

What happened

Apple introduced a dedicated Siri app at WWDC on June 8, 2026, alongside an updated version of Siri that Apple describes as more AI-focused.

The new app works like a conversation library. It stores your past Siri chats, so you can scroll back and open an earlier session, similar to how many chatbot apps keep a running history. When you reopen a conversation, Siri can show a summary of what was said, so you do not have to read the full transcript.

Apple says the Siri app also supports several ways to interact. You can type, talk using a voice mode, and upload documents and images. The app is meant to work across Apple devices, including iPhone (iOS), iPad (iPadOS), and Mac (macOS).

Apple says Siri conversations will sync through iCloud, which is Apple’s online storage and syncing service (like a private filing cabinet that follows you from device to device). The company says this syncing uses its usual privacy protections.

Why it matters

For everyday users, this change makes Siri easier to use for longer, ongoing tasks. Instead of starting from scratch each time, you can go back to an earlier chat, remember what you asked, and continue where you left off, even if you switch devices.
