Apple has opened Siri AI app actions to developers in the iOS 27.3 beta. It has also started adding new actions to its own apps, including Mail, Messages, Photos and Safari. You can try the beta on a supported device, but the new actions built by other app makers are still in a developer preview.
What Siri AI can do now
Apple names 15 apps in its rollout: Calendar, Files, Finder, Journal, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, Preview, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts and Weather. That list spans iPhone and Mac, so it does not mean every action is available on an iPhone. Finder and Preview, for example, are Mac apps.
Apple’s examples include asking Siri to find a coffee shop you visited last week or archive files you have not opened in more than a year. Its earlier demonstration showed Siri using information from Messages and Mail to find a family recipe, then adding ingredients to Reminders. The exact actions you can use will depend on the app, device and beta version. Apple suggests asking Siri AI what it can do in a particular app.
When will it work with other apps?
Developers can now connect their apps to Siri AI through App Intents. Apple says the preview lets an app offer custom actions using Siri AI’s understanding of personal context, what is on screen and natural language. Developers can also build “skills” that combine several actions into one request.
This is an early developer preview, not a promise that your banking, shopping or cab app will gain new Siri commands immediately. Apple says App Store submissions for these experiences will open in the spring. It has not given a specific public release date for each app’s actions. What becomes available after submissions open will depend on individual developers.
What this means in India
If you already use Siri AI in English on a supported iPhone, the Apple app actions are the first thing to watch as iOS 27.3 moves beyond the developer beta. The new third-party actions will depend on whether the apps you use in India add support. Apple has not announced a list of Indian apps taking part.
Apple currently lists English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish as supported languages for Siri AI. Hindi is not on the list. If you need help with device and language settings, see our Siri AI setup guide for India.
Should you install the beta?
I would wait if this is your main iPhone. These actions are useful, but there is no need to install developer software just to try them early. If you make apps, the preview is available now so you can test what your app can do before Apple opens App Store submissions in the spring.
Siri AI needs an Apple Intelligence-enabled device set to a supported language. Apple also says some server-side features have daily usage limits, which vary by feature and demand. Our Apple Intelligence limits explainer covers that separately.
