What can Siri AI do on iPhone Duo? A practical guide
Personal context, app actions, writing help and Siri mode in Camera: what Siri AI does on iPhone Duo and why the big screen helps.
Siri AI is Apple's new, more conversational version of Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence. Apple says the larger canvas makes iPhone Duo great for it. Siri AI is rolling out in English and usage limits may apply.
What Siri AI can do
- Conversations: ask open-ended questions, brainstorm and have back-and-forth conversations.
- Personal context: find a photo from years ago, an email buried in your inbox or a note you saved.
- App actions: take actions in apps like Messages, Music and Reminders based on what you are doing.
- World knowledge: answer questions with up-to-date information from the web.
- Siri app: all your conversations in one place, so you can pick up on your iPad where you left off on your iPhone.
- Siri mode in Camera: with Visual Intelligence, search and act on what is around you.
- Write with Siri: generate a draft or get feedback on what you wrote, matching your style in Messages and Mail.
Why the Duo is a good Siri AI phone
On the 7.6-inch inner display, the rich conversation window has room to show long answers next to another app in Split View. That makes it practical to ask Siri AI for a summary while you keep the source open.
Useful prompts to try
- "Find the photo of the beach from last summer and send it to Mom."
- "Summarize this email and draft a polite reply."
- "Turn these notes into a one-minute video script."
- "What am I looking at?" in Siri mode in Camera.
Other Apple Intelligence features
Apple also lists Clean Up, Image Playground, Writing Tools, Call Context, Safari tab grouping and Shortcuts you can create with a description. See our photo editing guide for the photo tools.
