Apple delays several new Siri features These features, which were originally planned for iOS 26.4, have been postponed. According to the published information, the assistant's most advanced capabilities will not be included in this update and have been delayed. These improvements are linked to the new generation of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, promising a more contextual and personalized experience. The company is continuing development but confirms that these features will not be available in the next intermediate version of the system.
Among the affected characteristics are understanding personal contextThe ability to react to on-screen content and greater control within apps are part of the announced evolution of Siri, aimed at providing more relevant answers and executing actions more precisely. However, Apple has decided to postpone their release, and they will not be included in iOS 26.4 when that update is publicly distributed.
The decision implies that Siri's most ambitious improvements will arrive in a later update.This is expected to happen later this year. Apple continues to work on integrating these capabilities, which will allow the assistant to better understand the user's personal information and respond more appropriately to each situation. Furthermore, the on-screen interaction feature is also not included in version 26.4, despite having been presented as one of the key advancements.
With this change, iOS 26.4 will focus on other system improvements and adjustments, while Siri's profound transformation will require more development timeApple isn't removing these features from its roadmap, but rather moving them to a future update, confirming that the rollout of Apple Intelligence is being done gradually. The company remains committed to introducing these new features, although it hasn't specified an exact date within the current schedule.
In practice, users will have to wait to try the assistant's more advanced features, since iOS 26.4 will not include the previously announced improved version of Siri.The update will proceed without these changes, while Apple continues to refine the development of the new capabilities. Thus, the arrival of a more contextual Siri with greater system integration will be moved to a future version of iOS, which is still pending confirmation.
