We continue with improvements and novelties that we discover with the arrival of new betas of iOS 17. Today’s is one of the most interesting. And it is that iOS users can ask Siri to send a message to someone for a long time. And while this command uses iMessage or SMS by default, it also works if a compatible third-party app is specified. With iOS 17, Apple is making this even more intuitive with a new option that allows users to change the application that will be used to send a message via Siri.
With iOS 17 Beta 2, which was released to developers on Wednesday last week, Apple introduced a small but important change to Siri. NOW, When you ask Apple’s virtual assistant to message someone, you can easily choose which messaging app to use before sending the message, even if you didn’t specify it when you asked Siri. Without sending it by default with iMessage or SMS as before.
Until iOS 16, if you just said “Send a message”, Siri would send it through Apple’s Messages app. To send with other apps, you had to say things like “Send a message on WhatsApp to X person”. But since iOS 17 beta 2, users we see an option to change the application before sending the message in the interface that appears on the Siri screen
It works with any Siri-enabled app, including WhatsApp and Telegram. In addition to the ability to switch applications, it is also easier to tap to change the contact and edit the message on the Siri interface. Since Apple has come under investigation for prioritizing its own services over third-party services, this decision can be seen as good news by developers and, of course, users. which will have a simple interface to change the way we send our dictations. messages via Siri.
