Siri In iOS 11 Will Apparently Be Capable of Learning User Behaviors

Come this June at WWDC 2017, we expect that Apple will most likely introduce iOS 11 (with its release probably pegged for later this year alongside the new iPhones). iOS 11 will undoubtedly bring a lot of changes and new features to the table, and a report from The Verifier (via 9to5Mac) is suggesting that big changes are headed for Siri.

According to a report, they claim that Siri in iOS 11 will apparently be able to learn user behaviors, meaning depending on how you use it, Siri will be able to adapt itself to you and maybe even predict some of your behaviors. The report goes on to add that Apple will integrate Siri with iMessage and offer up iCloud syncing.

Whether or not these claims are true remains to be seen, but 9to5Mac points out that Apple has in the past filed patents for similar features, so perhaps it’s not completely out of the question. Let’s not forget that companies like Amazon and Google are already way ahead of Apple in their AI efforts in the form of Alexa and Google Assistant respectively, plus with Samsung announcing Bixby, we’re pretty sure Apple does not want to be seen as lagging behind.

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but regular improvements to Siri is something Apple has been working on so like we said, perhaps some of these changes are to be expected, but hopefully we’ll have more details to share at WWDC 2017 come this June.
