Apple's 27.2 update gives Siri memory of past conversations and wider access to personal data
Siri can now draw on earlier chats, voicemails and Messages attachments, which widens what the assistant sees on users' devices.
Apple has shipped its 27.2 point release across its operating systems, including iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS. The headline change is in iOS 27.2, where Siri gains a memory capability that lets it bring up earlier conversations when replying. Siri also now draws on more personal sources for its answers, such as voicemails and attachments sent through Messages. For developers and businesses, this means the assistant now reaches into a wider slice of user data than before, which is worth keeping in mind when thinking about privacy and integration.
Why it matters
For ordinary users, Siri now has a longer memory and reaches into more of their personal material when it answers, so what they say and send to the assistant carries forward further than before. Anyone who cares about how their personal data is used by a digital assistant has more to weigh once they install 27.2 across their devices.
