According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is likely to unveil a major tweak to Siri at its developer conference. This change will include getting rid of the phrase “Hey Siri” to activate Siri hands-free. If Apple actually did this, what alternative could it offer?
In a recent tweet, Gorman reiterated that the tweak to Siri's trigger phrase could be one of the announcements that will be made at the developer conference. Last November, Gorman mentioned that Apple is working on a way to improve Siri's ability to understand and respond to commands without having to use "Hey Siri" as a trigger. He believes that instead, users will only need to say "Siri". In this context, Apple stated:
The company is working on an initiative to drop “Hey” in the launch phrase so that the user only needs to say “Siri,” with a command directly. While this may seem like a small change, making the switch is a technical challenge that requires a great deal of AI training and basic engineering work.
What makes it complicated is how well Siri can understand the single phrase "Siri" in different accents. And because having two words “Hey Siri” makes it more likely that the system will pick up the signal correctly.”
The proposed change would make Siri similar to Amazon's voice assistant Alexa, allowing Siri to be activated simply by starting a command with the word "Siri," similar to the way Alexa does it.
Gorman also mentioned that Apple is concurrently focusing on strengthening Siri's integration with third-party apps and services. This integration will enable Siri to provide more helpful assistance by leveraging additional information from these apps.
Gorman said that changes are expected to be introduced to Siri sometime in 2023 or 2024, but in another tweet he indicated that there is a high possibility that these changes will be announced at the developer conference.
Given the strong rumors surrounding a mixed reality headset, which will include voice controls, it would make sense to introduce improvements to Siri along with the unveiling of the new device.

Honestly, I use Siri by pressing the play button for a long time because it responds much faster instead of “hey siri” .. I think the most important thing than shortening Siri’s call is the speed of response to commands, so I hope development includes this point
If they add a feature to replace the personal assistant like Safari, this is the best feature
I swear to God, Siri 😂 Since the day Siri appeared, I do not use it, and I do not think I will use it in the distant or near future 😂
Hey Siri delete my comment 😂
After the user gets used to pronouncing the word hey siri or hey siri, the change is done!
The misfortune is that it is a password that works casually when speaking certain Arabic languages! When talking to someone with an Apple Watch with a hand raised in discussion language!
MohammedJasim, I understand your case with the word “oh my secret” 😅 and yes, the interaction may happen casually during conversations. But if Apple modifies the trigger phrase for Siri as mentioned in the article, this situation may change. 🤞🍏
The situation could get very, very bad!
I think that the keyboard for the iPhone needs to be renewed instead of carrying a complete keyboard or Microsoft keyboard, which causes difficulty in switching between Arabic or English. There are many possibilities for users of Google keyboard or other keys.
Hi Fares aljanaby! 😊 I agree with you about the iPhone keyboard, it really needs renovation and improvement. We hope that Apple will work on this aspect in the near future to facilitate the process of switching between languages and improve the user experience. Thank you for making this post! 📱🌟
In fact, this is a very trivial thing for us as users, because it will not make any difference to us, and if they think that it is a big change, then this is their problem 🙂
As for the voice assistant, it has become a thing of the past
In time, with the development of artificial intelligence conversations, we no longer need to ask something from a “stupid” assistant like Siri.
Hello Noir! 😄 You're right that this change might not be a big deal for some users, but it's meant to improve user experience in the long run. As for voice assistants, there is still a lot of room for development and improvement. So hopefully, we'll see future updates that make Siri smarter and more useful! 🚀
Wow, this is creativity 😂 Changing from Hi Siri to Siri Only 😂😂
It's all bullshit in bullshit!!! We want Siri to work without the Internet, at least with internal commands such as making a call, setting an alarm, and other simple things. We want a respectable keyboard, a respectable control center, an interactive widget, a change of iPhone icons, the system lacks a lot.
Hello Nasser Al-Ziyadi! 😊 Yes, it seems that the change from “Hey Siri” to “Siri” may be just the beginning of bigger developments. But as for your request about Siri Offline Worker and other things, there is no current information about these features in the article. We always try to provide you with the latest news and updates, so stay tuned! 📱✨
And if my comment is off topic, but I miss you, when will you return to sync on Android? I always read articles in the application, but I left reading because there is no application that has creativity in displaying articles in a way that suits all people, even those who suffer from vision loss or blindness. Please return it even if it has ads or an iPhone application Islam itself, which is on the software store, and its fur on the play store
The alternative will be Sisi 😂
