While looking for new features in iOS 27 beta 3, we discovered a significant addition: the latest developer beta allows Siri AI to access information from third-party apps. This feature opens up new horizons for Siri usage, as it allows users to access information stored in third-party apps, making Siri more useful and flexible in everyday use.

So far, examples that have been seen include electric car apps being able to draw on the remaining battery. It's worth noting that this feature doesn't work with the official Tesla app, but it did work with Tessie, suggesting that integration may depend on how third-party apps are designed to work with Siri.
The process works like this: Siri asks for permission to access the app and then pulls the requested data. This approach enhances security and privacy, as users are in control of their data and can choose whether to allow Siri to access it. Jace Craft-Miller found that this feature also works with the Ford app, suggesting that the integration could be extended to a variety of brands and apps.
This feature is still in beta, and we’ll see how it evolves and what other apps will be supported in the future. Developers now have the opportunity to explore the possibilities of this integration and create new experiences for users. This integration can be extended to many areas, such as health, financial management, entertainment, and more.

This feature, although still in beta, has the potential to change the way users interact with their devices. Siri's ability to pull data from third-party apps could usher in a new era for digital assistants, where users can take full advantage of their devices' capabilities in a more natural and seamless way.
