- Apple has released its iOS 18.4 Beta
- Code indicates Google Gemini could soon be integrated into SIRI
- It would allow users to ask Google AI more complicated queries
Gemini could be integrated into Siri very soon as new code in iOS 18.4 Beta suggests more AI model functionality for Apple Intelligence.
Google Gemini functionality in Apple Intelligence-driven SIRI would allow users to ask Google AI more difficult questions than Siri can currently answer. This would be available as an alternative option to chatgpt integration, even if we are not sure if you need to choose or whether you can access different AI models depending on your queries.
In WWDC 2024, when Apple revealed Apple Intelligence, Craig Federighi said: “We also intend to add support to other AI models in the future.” After the Chatgpt Siri integration message, it now seems that Gemini is the next AI model to follow.
According to @Aarop613 on X, there is a reference to “Google” as part of “Choice_options” along with the already available chatgpt integration. This means that Gemini may be available in Siri as soon as the official iOS 18.4 launch, which is expected sometime in the next few months.

This would not be the first time Apple and Google are working together, companies have had a lucrative agreement to include Google search as a default search engine in Safari on iOS for years now, and despite being direct competitors, it sees benefits of working together.
Google recently released the Gemini 2.0 Flash, which is an incredibly multimodal AI model that can go toe to toe with the best Openai has to offer. Implementation of Gemini in Siri would give Apple Intelligence an edge over other smartphone AI offers by incorporating multiple models into a user experience.
If Apple’s goal is continuously increasing AI model offerings in Siri with Apple Intelligence, users will benefit from a wide range of functionality and that’s only a good thing. While we do not know when we can expect gemini integration in Siri, this code points to the arrival of Google AI in the not too distant future.
