Siri on iOS Twenty Seven: you choose how long it remembers your secrets

Published on May 22, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The new version of Siri in iOS 27 introduces a feature that allows users to decide the fate of their conversation history. You can choose to save data for 30 days, one year, or permanently, with the option to delete it automatically. This measure contrasts with other assistants that offer temporary incognito chats, positioning Apple as a defender of selective privacy.

Siri interface on a floating holographic timeline, user finger sliding a slider between 30 days and permanent storage, binary data streams fading into a glowing lock icon, Apple-style minimalist UI floating above a translucent iPhone, soft cyan and white lighting, photorealistic technical illustration, polished glass reflections, privacy shield symbol dissolving into particles, calm futuristic atmosphere, ultra-detailed icons and typography placeholders, cinematic product render

Gemini under the hood: privacy with Google's seal 🛡️

Although Apple replaces internal components with Google's Gemini technology, it seeks to turn Apple Intelligence's weaknesses into a selling point. The company imposes stricter limits on what information can persist and how long it is retained. This means that while the hardware depends on Google, the privacy software becomes more restrictive, creating a paradox where external intelligence is managed with its own rules.

Siri, forget what I said... but not entirely 🤖

Now Siri will not only remind you of your appointments, but also how long it's been since you asked it something useful. With these options, you can pretend to be an organized person for a year before the assistant erases the evidence of your absurd requests. Of course, if you choose to save everything forever, get ready for Siri to throw back in your face that time you asked if penguins have knees.
