Apple is adding iCloud syncing to its upcoming standalone Siri application, ensuring users can start a conversation on their iPhone and pick it up later on a Mac or iPad.
According to Mark Gurman, the redesigned Siri experience in iOS 27 will center around a dedicated chatbot application. As we recently saw in a leaked preview, users who pull down from the new "Search or Ask" bar will enter an interface that displays a running history of previous interactions in either a list or grid view.
Gurman says Apple is taking that interface a step further by keeping chat histories synced across devices via iCloud. Inside the company, employees are reportedly comparing the new app directly to the Google Gemini experience. The chat view will support text, audio, and file attachments, mirroring the functionality offered by modern AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.
Syncing chats across devices closes a major gap between Siri and rivals. Instead of treating every interaction as an isolated request, the change means users can start a conversation on their iPhone and pick up right where they left off later on their Mac.
Apple will officially show off the new Siri at its WWDC26 keynote on June 8. If the current leaks hold up, iOS 27 will bring the biggest fundamental change to the assistant since it debuted on the iPhone 4S in 2011.
