Apple's iOS 27.2 gives Siri memory and lets you block apps from it

Apple has released iOS 27.2 and macOS Golden Gate 27.2. Siri AI can now recall past conversations and draw on more personal data, including photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, voicemails, and Safari history and Reading List. A new Excluded Apps setting lets you choose, from one place, which apps Siri, Search and suggestions can access. Siri AI adds French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish but is still not available in the EU or mainland China, and on iPhone it needs an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16 or later. Messages also gets suggestions such as turning a dinner invite into a Calendar entry, and Photos adds support for SynthID watermarks that help show whether an image was made or changed with generative tools.
