Siri AI is available in more languages starting todayApple Newsroom · Original published October 26, 2026
Apple released iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, watchOS 27.2, and visionOS 27.2 on October 26, 2026. With them, Siri AI, the new version of its voice assistant, now works in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Apple says Siri AI draws on personal context from messages, email, and photos, understands what is on screen, and answers from general world knowledge. The feature is still labeled beta, and in the European Union it is not available on iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.
Who can use it
Siri AI needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with both Siri and the device language set to a supported language. Apple says Chinese (traditional), Norwegian, Turkish, and Vietnamese will follow by the end of the year. Serbian and Croatian are on neither list, and Siri AI is not offered to users under 13.
In the EU, Siri AI is unavailable on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Apple says it is working constructively with the EU on a way forward. The restriction in Apple's announcement does not mention macOS or visionOS.
Daily limits and a future fee
Features that run on Apple's servers have daily usage limits. Apple lists Siri AI, intelligent photo editing tools, Image Playground, and the AFM 3 Cloud models in Shortcuts among them. The limits vary by feature, request complexity, system demand, and Apple's system policies, and Apple publishes no figures.
Apple also says that expanded access to these features will be available for a fee in the future. It does not say when, at what price, or how much free use will remain.
Security fixes in the same update
The security notes for iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 list 163 CVE identifiers, by our count of Apple's support page. One of them, CVE-2026-112658, is a Siri flaw through which an app may be able to access sensitive user data. Another, CVE-2026-86987, is an authorization flaw in Apple Intelligence that could let a remote attacker reach sensitive data. Apple does not mark any of the fixed vulnerabilities as possibly exploited in attacks.
„Expanded access to such features will be available for a fee in the future.“
