It also introduces Suggestions in Messages that help you take quick actions in apps like Calendar and Reminders based on context from your conversation. This release includes additional features, bug fixes, and security updates for your Mac.

Siri AI

• Siri AI can recall your past conversations, so you can ask Siri about something it told you before, like the restaurants it recommended last week.
• Siri AI can draw from more sources to give you a great answer, including photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, your voicemails, and better results from Safari history and Reading List.
• Excluded Apps lets you choose which apps Siri, Search, and suggestions can access, all from one setting.
• Write with Siri is available right from the new formatting bar when you compose a message in Mail.
• Siri AI is available in more languages, with support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Siri AI is not available in mainland China.

Other

• Suggestions in Messages help you take action based on the context of your conversations, like adding a Calendar invite for a dinner.
• Shared Albums in Photos adds the ability to edit captions and comments and avoid adding duplicate photos, and it can display a reminder before albums expire so participants can save important photos and videos.
• Support for SynthID watermarking to help identify whether an image was generated or modified with generative tools in Photos and Image Playground.
• The Home tab in the Podcasts app offers two separate sections for New Episodes and Continue Playing, letting you find the latest updates from your shows and then pick up where you left off.
• FaceTime supports adding a third-party sign-language interpreter or live captioner to a call.
