JAKARTA In the iOS 18.1 update, iPhone 15 users down will not find much change to Siri's virtual assistant. Apple only improves its performance and changes its design a little bit.

However, unlike devices compatible with Apple Intelligence, namely the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 16 series. Reporting from 9to5mac, users of these two device models will see many improvements, ranging from the design, performance, and various advanced features added.

If the user has enabled Apple Intelligence on its device, Siri will get animations with edge lights when interacting with the user's voice. Apple also added a new ability to interact via kin.

When users are in a noisy environment or have a noise in their voice, they can tap the home indicator twice to display Siri with a keyboard. Users can ask simple questions.

Siri also got an upgrade to the voice synthesis machine thanks to Apple Intelligence. His voice sounds more natural and Siri is able to understand confusing questions. When users corrected questions such as 'How is the weather in the UK today? It means America', Siri will respond to questions with the second country.

Although Siri is designed to be smarter in responding to orders, this virtual assistant has not been able to respond to difficult and complex questions because it has not been integrated with ChatGPT. Siri can only be used to set, control, or activate systems and applications.

After iOS 18.2 is released in December, the changes will be more pronounced. ChatGPT integration can be activated and users can ask Siri any questions. When this assistant cannot answer questions, the system will point its question at ChatGPT.

Although the ChatGPT integration sounds great, Apple will add another feature in the coming months. Still in the minor iOS 18 update, Apple will add the ability to fully understand the device.

If the user allows, Siri will access various data sources on the calendar, messaging, email, and so on. With this new feature, users can ask questions related to the schedule such as 'When the meeting this week will be held'. Reportedly, this feature will be released on iOS 18.4.
