Apple Expanding AI Writing Tools With Grammar Checker in iOS 27

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 will include a revamped AI chatbot version of Siri with new capabilities, but Apple is also planning to introduce new Apple Intelligence features across the operating system, reports Bloomberg.

Apple is testing an expanded version of Writing Tools that will do more rewriting and text generation than the current version. There is a "Write With ‌Siri‌" toggle at the top of the keyboard, along with a "Help Me Write" option that comes up when ‌Siri‌ is activated while a text field is open.

Apple is planning to introduce a dedicated AI grammar checker for Writing Tools that will work like Grammarly. When writing in Messages, Mail, and other apps there will be a translucent menu that slides up from the bottom of the iPhone's screen, and it will show suggested revisions next to the original written text.

Users can go through the suggestions and accept or reject them one by one, approve all of the changes at once, or ignore all of the changes. Apple has an option for pausing grammar checking and for moving between different flagged sections of text. Apple already has a spellchecking feature, but the new feature will add grammar suggestions.

The updates to Writing Tools will be unveiled at Apple's June 8 WWDC keynote. Apple is also planning AI updates for the Photos app, Camera app, and more, with details available in our iOS 27 roundup.

Haven’t we been checking grammar in software for well over a decade?
You wouldn't know it by reading most of the internet.

iOS keyboard really does suck, when I was using the pixel one time I barely had any errors, it was amazing and accurate

All the AI stuff is too hidden on iOS. I bet you 80% of people don't even know it exists. At least on Samsung OneUI, they have a dedicated section with easy to understand explanations of each functionality and short cuts in a dedicated section within settings AND you can enable and disable each individually, it's not all or nothing like with Apple Intelligence
I know it exists. I simply refuse to use it.

A real timesaver would be Proofread automatically fixing your email right when you hit "send."
Please no. Having the brain-damaged hallucinating LLM completely rewrite your email to what it thinks you should have said after you had it correct and hit Send?

What a good way to light up the night sky over the chemical plant.
