In the future, Apple may remove the popular Siri activation phrase (“Hey Siri”) from all of its devices. According to Mark Gurman of bloombergthe Cupertino-based company is working on a possibility call the assistant only by saying the word “Siri” together with a command or a question; something that would presumably allow for a more natural and fluid interaction.

However, the implementation of this change not expected until next year or even 2024. Gurman emphasizes that the elimination of the current command and the implementation of “Siri” as a keyword to call the assistant, constitutes a serious “technical challenge”Well, Apple will have to improve the capabilities of its artificial intelligence so that Siri recognizes words in different tones or accents.

Complexity means that Siri can understand the single phrase “Siri” with different accents and languages. The presence of two words: “Hey Siri” increases the likelihood that the system will correctly receive the signal.

Mark Gurman mentions.

In any case, and if the company finally manages to make the activation phrase “Siri” instead of “Hey Siri”, the user will only be able to say, for example: “Siri, turn on the lights in the office”, and the wizard will perform the action. It is also highly likely that this change will affect all company devices on which the assistant can be used, including iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple TV, HomePod or AirPods.

Call Siri by simply saying her name, as is already possible with Alexa and Cortana.

Apple is definitely not the only company that allows you to activate the assistant – in this case Siri – with a single word. Amazon actually already offers the option to call Alexa by simply saying her name. Also Cortana, Microsoft’s virtual assistant. Google, however, is one step behind, as it still requires you to call Google Assistant with “Hey Google” or “Ok Google”.

Before Siri, the Mountain View Assistant has a feature that allows execute sequential commands without saying the activation phrase again. For example, you might say, “Hey Google; Turn on the lights and play Taylor Swift’s latest album.”

However, Siri appears to be a step up from Alexa and Google Assistant, its two main competitors. Company, yes. can improve your assistant’s integration with third-party services and applications.
