According to Reports Apple is planning to make Siri much smarter by adding a new AI-powered web search tool called "World Knowledge Answers." This feature is expected to arrive in March 2026 with the iOS 26.4 update. The new Siri will do more than just give simple answers.
It will be able to search the internet deeply and provide clear and easy-to-understand replies. These replies will include text, pictures, videos, and local information about places near you.
The new system has three main parts. First, the "planner" will understand what the user asks. Then, the AI search tool will find the right information from the internet or the device. Lastly, the "summarizer" will make the information short and easy to read. This will help people get answers quickly without confusion.
Apple will use its own AI models for most of the system but has also made a deal with Google. Google’s Gemini AI model will help with making the summaries better. Apple also looked at a company called Anthropic but found their price too high. Apple will keep all personal data safe on its own servers to protect user privacy.
Besides Siri, Apple wants to add this smart AI search to its Safari browser and Spotlight search. This means people will get better, AI-powered answers no matter how they search on their Apple devices. Siri will also use personal information in smart ways to give better, more useful answers.
This new AI-powered Siri will compete with other AI helpers like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Apple’s aim is to give users fast, helpful, and clear answers using AI. The upgrade will bring a big change to how people interact with Siri and search for information on iPhones and Macs.
In short, Apple is making Siri smarter and easier to use with powerful AI from its own models and Google’s Gemini. This will help Apple users get better answers through voice or text starting in early 2026. This update will make Siri a stronger assistant and bring new AI features to Apple devices.
