Apple May Change “Hey Siri” Trigger Phrase at WWDC 2023

Jun. 5, 2023

“Hey Siri” to Be a Thing of The Past Soon!

So, to get the weather update, for example, we had to first wake Siri up with the trigger phrase“Hey Siri” or long-pressing the power button. Only then we could ask questions like“What’s the weather like today?”However, switching to only“Siri”will allow us to ask our questions and get the possible answers.Source:Mark Gurman on X (formerly Twitter)

From the user front, this might seem like a small change but Gurman believes that“making the switch is a technical challenge that requires a significant amount of AI training and underlying engineering work.”This transition will reflect Apple’s continued efforts inimproving the accuracy and responsiveness of Siri.It will also allow Siri to understand different accents and dialects much better, as it will now require only a single word to trigger the virtual assistant. Gurman believes that by making this transition, Apple will also be able to speed up Siri’s back-to-back responses.

With that being said, we will have to wait for tonight’s event to get a better idea. We will keep you posted, so, stay tuned to this space!
