iPhone learns new Siri commands in Music, Messages and Calendar
The first iOS 27.3 beta extends Siri AI to many apps, and Apple is opening the support to app developers.
Siri on iPhone will understand more commands. You can ask it to send a message later or make a song list. The version is for testing only for now.
