How to get Ask Siri context menu button
In my UIKit apps, collection view cells that have a context menu gain an Ask Siri item in iOS 27 without me doing anything. In my SwiftUI app I have a LazyVGrid containing a ForEach of CellView which is a Button that has a contextMenu, yet there’s no Ask Siri button in the context menu. What determines whether or not it will be added? What do I need to do to allow the system to add it?

Receiving an on‑screen image from another app via App Intents / Siri (app has no photo library)
I have a photo editing app that owns no photo library. I want a user viewing an image in another app (e.g. Photos) to say "filter this image in MyApp" and have Siri hand that on‑screen image to my intent. Targeting iOS 27. What I've tried, and the result in each case: • App Shortcut + @Parameter var image: IntentFile — Siri resolves my other parameters (a filter AppEnum) by voice, but never binds the image; the run fails. • @AppIntent(schema: .photos.setFilter) with a .photos.asset entity — never routes from Photos. • @AppIntent(schema: .system.open): OpenIntent with a custom AppEntity target — "Open this image in MyApp" just launches the app by name; perform() is never called, and the entity query never runs. My understanding from WWDC26 "Build intelligent Siri experiences with App Schemas" (session 240) and "Discover new capabilities in the App Intents framework" (session 345): • Cross‑app content transfer (Transferable + IntentValueRepresentation) seems limited to system value types (IntentPerson, PlaceDescriptor); IntentFile is not a _SystemIntentValue, so an image can't ride that rail. • Onscreen awareness (NSUserActivity.appEntityIdentifier, View Annotations) appears to expose only the foreground app's own content — which here is Photos, not me. Question: Is there a supported way for a third‑party app to receive another app's on‑screen image (vs. a contact/place) through Siri/App Intents today? If so, which API carries the pixels — an IntentFile parameter, @UnionValue, IntentValueQuery, something else — and what must the source app do to make it available? Or is asking "do X to this image in <third‑party app>" simply not supported yet outside Shortcuts?

iOS 27 Beta 1: iPhone 17 reverted to Old Siri instead of New Siri.
My phone no longer shows the waitlist for Siri and has the option to "Try New Siri." I select it, continue, continue and the settings change to "Siri (Beta)" and the waitlist option is no longer there, but when using Siri it's the old pre-Apple Intelligence Siri that activates (little bubble at the bottom) and it does not work. Going to Safari and typing "Siri://" opens the New Siri App, but it says "Siri Update in Progress; Adding support for Siri hasn't completed. Open Settings to check the status." The app does not show up in Spotlight. My phone is done Indexing and all signs point to my phone being enrolled to use the New Siri, but it isn't working at all and still has not shown up. I've tried restarting a few times. Anyone experiencing this too?

Accessing Siri AI on iOS 27 beta 1
Inquiring if there are any bugs in the wait list for obtaining access to Siri AI. Most developers I know have received access at this point, my devices are still waitlisted. Are their steps outside of region / language that can cause longer wait times for admittance and are there steps I should take to ensure their is not a hitch in the system, or is this truly a slow rollout and I will just be a week behind the curve in development ?

Wait Time for Siri AI waitlist
There seems to be a lack of clarity about how this Siri AI rollout is working. Does the indexing have anything to do with getting taken off the waitlist, or are they completely separate? Also, what is the expected wait time and has anyone gotten the new Siri after the initial wave of approvals (after 4 hours after the keynote)? The waitlist is extremely slow compared to the initial Apple Intelligence waitlist from a couple of years ago.

IndexedEntities and Siri AI
Currently, I have spotlight entities show up when I search for them using Spotlight on iOS 27. These entities are things that are important for users, like campus buildings, accessible entrances, assignments, and more. However, after getting access to Siri AI, it seems that none of this information at all is available to Siri, yet all of it is sitting there in the spotlight index and viewable with a written query. I was told by an Apple Engineer that creating Indexed and EnumerableEntities, and indexing them via the App Intents framework, should expose information about these items to Siri, so if I query: "[Building name] in Ohio State" it would at least show me what the app has for that information. Presently, Siri uses the web for everything and doesn't pull in any spotlight information for my app, despite either creating wrapper entities or using the API associating with spotlight. With Siri AI, it would be so much more helpful for a disabled user to say "Orton Hall accessible entrance" and Siri to know that there's 1 accessible entrance indexed in spotlight in my app, and then show or open it, instead of querying the web or saying it can't answer the question. It has all available information already in spotlight to answer this question. Currently, as far as I'm aware, something like this simply doesn't work, unless your app conforms to the strict use cases of making reminders or calendar events, all of which aren't useful here. Can a Frameworks engineer please clarify precisely when and how IndexedEntities (paired with an a corresponding macro-annotated OpenIntent) eg: @AppIntent(schema: .system.open) struct OpenBuildingIntent: OpenIntent { @Parameter(title: "Building") var Building: BuildingEntity ... will or will not be visible using Siri AI? To me it seems I have wasted a lot of time porting actions within my app to App Intents, and viewable entities with AppEntity, only to have Siri not be able to use any of this information out of the box.

Confused about App Intents integration in iOS27
I just watched the "Build Intelligent Siri experiences with App Schemas" and I'm confused about how to integrate my app with the new Apple Intelligence + Siri in iOS27. I think it mentions specifically that Siri needs to adopt App Schemas, and that just adopting App Intents in my app isn't enough for it to integrate with the new Siri. Is that correct? The 'schemas' seem to be a narrow set of specific activities. What if my app's actions (or intents) don't match closely with it? For example, in my app, I have entities like Tags and Contacts. I can 'create tag' as well as 'add tags to a contact' as 2 different App intents. If I'm using just App Intents on their own, would these not map to the new Siri? I can also add a 'task' to a 'contact'. Would that possibly work with Siri? The videos just don't seem to make an effort to explain what is and what isn't possible.

No Siri AI in visionOS 27 with a non-US Apple ID
With visionOS 27, if you use a non US Apple ID, if the language is set to English on the country to USA, you don’t get Siri AI even if Siri AI is supposed to be available on visionOS 27 in all countries if the system is in English. iOS and iPadOS are the only systems where Siri AI is not available in Europe. As macOS, visionOS is supposed to have Siri AI enabled worldwide if the system is configured in English. The problem is confirmed with many French Vision Pro users with a French Apple ID.

Siri AI - waitlist
i have been on the waitlist since the release , I have asked many of my friends and they got it at very different times , who got it in hours who in days , and then there's me , a whole week of waiting for nothing , as a developer this is affecting my workflow but there's nothing more to do than reporting it to apple via the feedback app. the thing that makes us all anxious its not being able to see our position in line if there even is one because users reported that who downloaded and joined the waitlist later got it sooner than someone who installed iOS 27 and joined the waitlist before . AS OF RIGHT NOW I NOTICED A PATTERN. NEWER DEVICES THAT FINISH THE INDEXING FASTER GET THRU THE WAITLIST , while others like iPhone 15 pro and iPad m1 GET TO WAIT EVEN IF THE INDEXING IS FINISHED . what can we do other than wait , is there any way of KNOWING YOUR CURRENT STATE IN WAITING IN LINE.

Rich SwiftUI Rendering in the Siri Overlay
For intents that return complex markdown, code snippets, or structured layouts, what are the rendering capabilities and resource constraints of custom SwiftUI views returned via Snippet inside the Siri voice overlay? Are interactive controls (like buttons, copy-to-clipboard, or scroll views) supported inside the Siri-overlay SwiftUI container?

New Siri Waitlist not activating on iPhone/iPad after 4 days — macOS workaround works but not syncing
Hi, I joined the New Siri waitlist on June 8 (the day of WWDC 2026) and as of June 12, I have still not been granted access on iPhone or iPad — that's 4 days with no activation. I used the Terminal workaround on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta (EnhancedSiriWaitlist → Enabled = NO), which successfully activated New Siri on my Mac. However, it has not synced to my other devices despite being on the same Apple ID with iCloud Siri sync enabled. Device details: Mac mini (macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta) — New Siri active ✓ iPhone (iOS 27.0 Developer Beta 1) — Joined Waitlist since June 8 iPad (iPadOS 27.0 Developer Beta 1) — Joined Waitlist since June 8 Steps already attempted: Multiple restarts on iPhone and iPad Toggled iCloud Siri sync off/on Toggled Siri off/on multiple times iCloud storage sufficient (200GB plan, 53GB used) 4 days seems far beyond normal rollout time. Is this a known issue? Is there anything on the account side that could be blocking activation? Thank you.

Does On-Screen-Context from first party apps work at the moment?
Do apps like Files, Safari, and Finder provide on screen data on request? I've got an entity that implements transferable, but Siri is consistently telling me that it is unable to export data from Files, Safari and photos, and does not seem to want to construct my entity. (it's an @PhotoAsset entity, and I've implemented @createAssets as well.) Is that true at the moment that Siri cannot read data from those apps? I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

I’ve been waiting for Siri AI for 48 hours, does anyone have any information about this?
I’ve found nothing about the waitlist, like when are there expected openings, how does an opening occur, and do I need to do anything else except join the waitlist? It’s been indexing for the same amount of time that I’ve been waiting for Siri, so is that a factor?
