Despite the many note-taking applications available on the App Store, Apple Notes remains one of the most popular choices for Apple device users. With the update to iOS 27.3, the app gains a new feature that enhances its capabilities: Siri AI will now have more control over it.

iOS 27.3 Update Gives Siri AI More Control Over Apple Notes

According to "9to5Mac," voice commands are becoming increasingly popular for interacting with devices, especially as smart assistants like Siri AI continue to evolve and become more capable of understanding and executing various tasks.

While Siri AI has already made significant advancements compared to the traditional version of Siri, Apple is working on further enhancing its capabilities with the iOS 27.3 update.

The update introduces a range of new features for Siri AI within Apple's built-in apps, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more.

Apple Notes is one of the most prominent applications to benefit from these updates. For years, Siri has offered some basic note-related functions, but now it gains a wider range of control options, including:

• Create, edit or delete notes, folders and tags.
• Lock or unlock notes.
• Add or remove links and tags.
• Scan documents.
• Start or stop voice recordings.
• Insert text and format it or highlight parts of the text to replace them.
• Check off, uncheck or delete items in task lists.

These capabilities allow a wide range of tasks within the app to be carried out using voice commands, without having to go through all the steps manually.

Siri AI can add links and manage notes with voice commands

The new update is particularly important for users who rely on Apple Notes daily and keep a large number of notes. They can now use Siri to perform more complex tasks within the app.

One of the new uses is the ability to ask Siri to save the link to the web page that the user is currently browsing in one of the notes, while specifying exactly where they want to insert the link inside the note.

Third-party note-taking apps may be able to offer similar control capabilities next year when App Skills, which allows developers to create advanced skills for their apps, is officially launched and Siri AI can use them.

Until then, this new potential gives Apple users an additional reason to use the Apple Notes app, especially for those who prefer controlling note-taking apps through voice commands or via Spotlight, which allows quick access to functions and applications including on iPad Pro devices.
