In addition to the[launch of its new Siri AI system](https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/08/apples-long-awaited-ai-siri-overhaul-is-finally-here/), the personal assistant now has its own stand\-alone app\. The app is designed to serve as a warehouse of the user’s previous, archived conversations with the assistant\. Much like the functionality of chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude, users can scroll through all of those previous conversations and re\-visit a session\. When a user opens a previous conversation, the app provides an overview of what was said so that users don’t have to read through the entire transcript\. The app is also the place where users can launch a new conversation with the assistant\. Siri now offers users a multi\-function interface that mirrors other AI chatbots where users can enter text, upload documents and images, and access a voice mode, where you can speak directly to it\. The Siri app is designed to give users access to the assistant across Apple devices, including iOS, MacOS, and iPadOS\. All of a user’s Siri conversations are synced privately with iCloud, per Apple’s typical privacy protections\. ![](https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-08-at-10.48.27-AM.png?w=680)**Image Credits:**AppleThe dedicated app is obviously designed to give users a more organized way to interact with the assistant, as its powers become more extensive within Apple’s software\. ## Catch up on WWDC 2026 [Everything announced, from start to finish](https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/08/wwdc-2026-everything-announced-on-siri-ai-os-27-apple-intelligence-and-more/) [Siri AI’s update, explained](https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/08/apples-long-awaited-ai-siri-overhaul-is-finally-here/) [All the new AI features coming to Apple Photos](https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/08/apples-photos-app-is-getting-new-ai-editing-features/) [Apple Intelligence’s updates coming this year](https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/08/apple-just-taught-your-iphone-to-finish-your-sentences-your-photos-and-your-workflows/) *When you purchase through links in our articles,[we may earn a small commission](https://techcrunch.com/techcrunch-affiliate-monetization-standards/)\.
