The redesigned Siri can be reached three different ways. Swipe down from the Dynamic Island and a search box pops up. Holding down the side button still works if that's what you're used to. Maybe you want a more conventional chatbot experience like the one you get with ChatGPT? There's now a dedicated Siri app for that too.
The Siri app keeps a history of your past conversations synced via iCloud. It includes detailed responses with text cards, images and other media instead of just a simple reply. Want to give it more context? Tap the plus button to drop in an image or document. Or maybe you just want to ask "what's the weather forecast." All the classic commands work as usual.
Another great feature of the new Siri experience is how it has access to your personal context. Try asking about things like your messages or emails, and Siri will likely give you the answer you're expecting instead of just telling you to Google it.
