Siri AI app lets users easily switch between Siri and ChatGPT
Apple has introduced a new Siri app in iOS 27 that allows users to easily switch between Siri AI and ChatGPT. This feature enables a more versatile interaction style, providing users with options for chatbot assistance. The app includes familiar elements such as a text input field and conversation history but does have limitations. Notably, switching between chatbots does not retain conversation context, with users losing prior messages when transitioning from one to the other. Currently, the app defaults to Siri, but users can choose ChatGPT with a long press. Although it is uncertain if this is a bug or intended functionality, permanent setting options for the default model are absent for now.
