How to use the Siri app with Siri AI on iPad

With Siri AI (Beta), you have a dedicated Siri app that brings all your conversations together in one place. You can ask a question on your iPad and pick up where you left off on your other Apple devices when you’re signed in to the same Apple Account.

You can type or speak your request, add a picture, photos, or files to the conversation, and ask follow-up questions. You can also pin conversations for easy access, search them, or start a new one, and your conversation history syncs across platforms.

Siri AI is available in beta on iPadOS 27 or later on an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPad mini (A17 Pro) or iPad model with M1 or later set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iPadOS. Usage limits may apply.*
