What changed
Apple’s Siri AI is now available in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish through the 27.2 software updates released October 26, 2026.
The beta requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled device running iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS or visionOS 27.2, with both Siri and the device set to a supported language. Traditional Chinese, Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese are planned by the end of the year.
Why it matters
This is more than a translation toggle. Siri AI is designed to use context from messages, emails and photos, take actions across apps, understand what is on screen, and answer questions using broad world knowledge. In practical terms, Apple is trying to turn Siri from a voice-controlled shortcut into a system-level assistant that can handle multi-step work.
The limits matter just as much as the promise. Siri AI remains in beta, some features vary by region, language and device, and it is unavailable on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS in the European Union. It is also unavailable to users under 13.
Apple is planning daily usage limits for some server-side Apple Intelligence features, with expanded access expected to become a paid offering later. The company has not specified the pricing or the exact timing of that change.
