Apple has announced a significant revamp of its voice assistant, Siri, in response to user complaints. The company unveiled the changes at its recent Glowtime event, where it also introduced the iPhone 16 and other new products. The redesigned Siri will feature enhanced language understanding capabilities, allowing it to better interpret user queries, even if they are phrased in a less-than-perfect manner.
One notable improvement is Siri's ability to comprehend and adapt to users who may stumble over their words during interactions. This was demonstrated at the event when Siri successfully processed a question despite the user correcting themselves mid-sentence. Additionally, users will now have the option to text Siri instead of relying solely on voice commands, expanding the voice assistant's usability.
