Apple's first iOS 27.3 beta, released on 3 November 2026, widens Siri AI to four more languages: Traditional Chinese, Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese. That makes ten in all. The beta also adds more in-app actions for Siri, a Siri Recap feature and a bigger set of developer tools for Siri AI. It is beta-only for now, and a public release is expected in December.

The rollout has come in stages. Siri AI launched with iOS 27 on 14 September 2026 in English only, covering nearly every English dialect. iOS 27.2, out on 26 October, added French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, and Apple named the four new languages the same day, saying they would arrive by the end of the year. The five October languages had themselves been promised at the September iPhone event and first surfaced in the iOS 27.2 beta in mid-September. That release also let Siri AI recall past conversations and draw on photos in Messages, Calendar invitees, Safari history, the Reading List and voicemails.

Apple describes Siri AI as a reimagined Siri, built on Apple Intelligence, that keeps user privacy intact. Gaps remain. Siri AI is still unavailable in the EU on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS, and in China, for reasons unrelated to language. iDropNews reads the Norwegian addition as aimed at Norway, which sits outside the EU. Apple Intelligence's other features, such as Writing Tools and Image Playground, already cover sixteen language options when both Chinese scripts are counted.

About Siri AI

Siri AI reached users on 14 September 2026 with Apple's 2027 software releases, rolling out in beta and in English only. Apple said at launch that French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish would follow the next month.

That promise was kept on 26 October 2026, when iOS 27.2 brought those five languages and Apple named Chinese (Traditional), Norwegian, Turkish and Vietnamese as arriving by year end. As of that release Siri AI was unavailable in the EU on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS, and Apple said it was working with the EU to find a path forward.

Apple has also promised Siri AI for the Apple TV 4K with tvOS 27.2, and the HomePod mini 2 is to get it in a later update.
