Apple to Expand Siri with Korean-Language Support

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Apple is reportedly set to expand Korean-language support for Siri, its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered digital assistant, from October 2026. The move is part of the development of AI services intended to provide more context-aware interactions integrated with users’ devices.

South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported on Wednesday (21 October), citing industry sources, that users in South Korea will soon be able to use AI-powered Siri in Korean.

The expansion follows the launch last September of the latest beta version of Siri in English.

One highlighted capability is searching for information based on users’ activity history. For example, users could ask Siri to find a food recipe they had encountered while travelling.

AI-powered Siri will also feature visual intelligence, enabling the system to understand visual content and process multimodal information.

The feature will be available through Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.

Technologically, AI-powered Siri is powered by Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence models. Despite using this technology, Apple says the service will continue to operate within the company’s security framework.

Apple also says data used for AI processing will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to generate a response.

The report, however, did not provide a specific availability schedule or a list of devices that will support the service in South Korea.
