How we test

We write down what Siri actually does, not what a keynote says it does. When we've confirmed something on a real device, we tell you. When we haven't yet, we tell you that too. We'd rather show you an honest "not tested yet" than a confident guess dressed up as fact.

The three statuses

Every prompt and answer on TrySiri carries one of three labels. The label is the most important thing on the page.

• Predicted — Written from Apple's published behavior and documentation, but not yet confirmed on a real device by us. Most pages start here, especially right after a new iOS release. Read a predicted page as "this should work" — useful, but not yet proven.
• Verified — We ran it on a real device and it worked. A verified page shows which device and which iOS version we tested on, and the date we last confirmed it. Those details matter, because Siri changes between releases.
• Doesn't work — We tested it and it didn't do what people expect. We leave the page up, say so plainly, and point to an alternative where one exists. A documented failure is as useful as a documented success.

How a page gets verified

Two ways, and they reinforce each other.

First, we test on real hardware running specific versions of iOS, and we record exactly what happened — including when it didn't work.

Second, you tell us. The "Did this work for you?" buttons at the bottom of every page are anonymous. When you add the device and iOS version you tried, that becomes a data point. Enough consistent signals from real people, and a page's status comes to reflect reality instead of our best guess.

Why we stamp the version

A prompt that works on iOS 27 can break on iOS 27.1 and come back on 27.2. Siri isn't static, and a tip that's true today can quietly stop being true after an update. So every verification is tied to a specific version and device. We'd rather tell you "confirmed on iOS 27, iPhone 16, last checked in June" than a vague "this works."

Where things stand right now

The new Siri — what Apple now calls Siri AI — and iOS 27 are brand new. That means most pages on TrySiri are currently marked Predicted while we test on the beta and flip them to Verified one at a time. If a page you need still says Predicted, that's us being honest about what we haven't gotten to yet. You're watching the testing happen in real time.
