Siri AI Comes to Apple Watch in watchOS 27 Beta 3

With watchOS 27 beta 3, Apple added support for Siri AI and the ‌Siri‌ app, so Apple Watch users can now use the features right from their wrist.

Apple said ‌Siri‌ AI would be coming to the watch back when ‌watchOS 27‌ was first introduced, but the feature wasn't live until now.

The Dynamic App Grid that pops up when the Digital Crown is pressed displays the ‌Siri‌ app in the center, and the smarter version of ‌Siri‌ is available to answer queries and complete requests.

‌Siri‌ AI on Apple Watch relies on a nearby Apple Intelligence- compatible iPhone for processing. Conversations in the ‌Siri‌ app on Apple Watch sync to the ‌Siri‌ app across all other devices like iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

No watchOS 27? No Problem. Your Apple Watch Still Works With iOS 27

Apple's decision to drop watchOS 27 support for five Apple Watch models – the Series 6, 7, 8, SE 2, and the original Ultra – likely caused some hand-wringing at this year's WWDC. The software's compatibility list cuts off three years of devices in one update. Fortunately, Apple today confirmed that unsupported watches will still work with iOS 27 when it's released in the fall. Speaking to Tec...

For what it's worth, I just asked it for a recipe suggestion for a more heart healthy recipe for vanilla and chocolate chipi ice cream to put in my ninja creami. it generated a reasonable one, and then i asked it to both add ingredients to my reminders based groceries list as well as add the recipe to notes, and it did it. all from my watch. my phone is several rooms over. impressed.

Like always everyone loves to hate on anything Apple these days 🙄

But this is a game changer for me! I use the new Siri AI (and well, all AI) for random requests/questions, right now I have use the physical button and Home Screen shortcuts to use ChatGPT/Siri AI... but to be able to use my watch now? I can do this all day. I love this so much. I bet this would get my watch to wear her Apple Watch more too, she's always using AI for random questions throughout the day and for work.

Apple has been some great things lately, my only wish is Siri AI on HomePod, that's the only tech in my house that is truly behind the times. I need a better HomePod, hope we see something HomePod related in Sep/Oct.

Not quite sure why older models can’t have new Siri if it’s using the iPhone

Nope, can’t set a timer on my watch 10 with beta 3:

“Siri timer 7 minutes”

“I can’t set a timer on this device”

Although weirdly once I’ve set the timer running manually Siri is able to tell me how long is left on it when I ask.
Same on my Ultra 3, Siri can’t create one but knows how long is left if I start one manually.
