In the early morning of November 4 Vietnam time, Apple released test versions of iOS 27.3 and watchOS 27.3 for developers (beta). Notably, this update marks the expansion of Siri AI's language support by adding Vietnamese, along with a number of other new languages.

What can Vietnamese Siri AI do on iPhone?

According to technology site 9to5Mac, Apple plans to bring the official iOS 27.3 version to general users in December. In the beta version, users can interact with Siri AI in Vietnamese, from asking questions to asking the assistant to search and provide information.

In addition to Vietnamese, Siri AI has also added support for Traditional Chinese, Norwegian and Turkish.

Unlike the previous version of Siri, which mainly processes simple commands, Siri AI is built on a large language model foundation. Thanks to that, the apple assistant has the ability to grasp context, link information in conversations and handle multi-step requests.

One of the notable changes is the ability to connect data between Siri and applications on the device. When authorized by the user, Siri AI can access information from calendars, emails, photo libraries, music apps and many other applications.

This allows users to make more natural requests, such as finding a place they've visited or making plans to meet friends based on information available in the apps.

Apple also added the ability to instruct users to exploit Siri. Instead of having to learn each command themselves, users can directly ask the assistant what Siri can do in a specific application.

However, the new Siri AI does not support all iPhone models but requires a device compatible with Apple Intelligence.

For iPhone, this feature is compatible from iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 and above. In addition, users can also use Apple Intelligence on some iPad models, Macs, and Apple Vision Pro. Some AI features on Apple Watch are also supported when paired with a compatible iPhone.

Apple Watch opens AI conversation tool

According to Bloomberg, in addition to expanding Apple Intelligence, the two operating systems iOS 27.3 and watchOS 27.3 also tested the Audio Intelligence toolkit on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4.

This toolkit takes advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) and the built-in microphone on the watch to identify and analyze conversation content when the user actively activates it.

Two notable features are Siri Recap and Live Rewind. In particular, Siri Recap has the ability to distill important content in the conversation, then convert it into short notes for users to easily follow and review. This approach is similar to AI-powered meeting note-taking applications like Granola or Otter.

Meanwhile, Live Rewind focuses on helping users not miss the information that has just been exchanged. The feature allows reviewing the last 15 seconds of speech content as text.

Regarding privacy, Apple says the system is designed to limit the retention of audio data. The original audio is not saved as a regular recording, and the company has implemented measures to limit sensitive information appearing in the summary.

However, at the testing stage, Audio Intelligence tools only support English.
