- The first beta developer of iOS 18.4 could land at some point in next week
- Rumors predict that the beta version will fall “in the next few days”
- The update is expected to give Siri “awareness on the screen” and more
IOS 18.3 Recently brought visual intelligence updates and more to our iPhones, but beta developers can soon try iOS 18.4, according to new rumors. It is expected to be an important update and contain a Siri impulse that I have been waiting for WWDC 2024.
IOS 18.4 Beta will arrive “in the next few days,” according to the Gurman, generally reliable from Bloomberg, writing in his possession in the bulletin. To be more precise, Gurman believes that the update will be implemented “at some point between this week and next”, before a public version in April.
The great characteristic of this update is expected to be a more personalized Siri who can take advantage of your personal data to answer consultations. That is not all, with the beta iOS 18.4 it is also likely that our first Siri test with consciousness and application control is also given us.
Although Siri’s last brain update will be the main main point of view of iOS 18.4, the update is also expected to bring some other useful features. We will probably see priority notifications (which they use to highlight their most important notifications), and the new emojis that were recently announced by the Unicode consortium; Yes, I expect to see a new ‘Fight Cloud’ emoji and more for your Imessage chats.
But it is Siri’s update that I hope most, even if Gurman has tempered expectations in warning that “Apple is still far behind in this area” …
A better way to navigate your iPhone?

Apple Intelligence deployment has been painfully slow, with many of the features highlighted on WWDC 2024 last June is not yet available on our iPhones. But I am anxious to see Siri finally get out of his strength shirt and become a personal assistant that a voice activated timer.
We have already seen Siri get some smaller updates in the last six months. IOS 18.1 gave us the ability to ask questions, while IOS 18.2 connected Siri to Chatgpt for the first time (although this is something in moderation, due to Chatgpt’s propensity to hallucinate).
But it was the next generation Siri promises of WWDC 2024 last year (the previous video jumps directly to them) that I have been waiting for the most. Apple showed demonstrations of “screen awareness” and “APPLICATION Actions” that are really useful, and will not be limited to Apple’s own applications, thanks to the API of the application of the application for developers.
There is likely to be a delay until third -party applications take advantage of these powers, and we will have to see if the experience is up to Apple’s high promises. But I could actually see that Siri became my predetermined way to navigate my iPhone if it works well, particularly because it is now possible to write to Siri (playing twice the base of its home screen) when you do not want to talk to him. audible.
The full version of iOS 18.4 may not land until April, but this developer’s beta will give us an idea of whether Siri will be able to fulfill the promise shown in its advances WWDC 2024.
