Apple has officially enabled ChatGPT integration with Siri as part of the iOS 18.2 update, making Siri significantly smarter and more capable. With this update, Siri can seamlessly pass queries to ChatGPT if it cannot provide a satisfactory answer. ChatGPT’s multimodal abilities allow it to process text and multimedia content, enabling users to ask more complex questions involving images or files, enhancing Siri’s utility without requiring the installation of additional apps or an OpenAI account.
