"Apple will introduce a feature that automatically deletes chats, as seen in its Messages app, to the updated Siri. Users will get a Siri setting that toggles between saving chatlogs for 30 days, a year or forever. Apple will also offer an option of whether Siri launches with the context of its previous conversation or starts a completely new chat."
"Automatically deleting chatlogs comes with a serious downside. Most LLMs prefer swallowing up as much personal data from chats as possible to enhance its capabilities and better tailor its future responses. On the other hand, Apple takes a more restrictive approach to train its AI, using synthetic data generation instead of real user data."
"Apple has a long history of prioritizing user privacy, while the relatively shorter lifespan of AI chatbots has already seen their companies providing chatlogs for criminal cases or lawsuits. Despite some competitors offering an incognito mode, like ChatGPT's Temporary Chat feature, Apple's stance is that user privacy protections should be ingrained, instead of an optional setting."
"We're expecting to see the new Siri make its long-awaited debut at WWDC2026, which will kick off on June 8. Apple might be able to market the fact that its AI falls behind the competition as a byproduct of wanting to protect its users' privacy."
Updated Siri is expected to gain a feature that automatically deletes chat history, similar to the Messages app. A Siri setting will let users choose how long chat logs are saved: 30 days, one year, or forever. Another option will determine whether Siri starts with context from the previous conversation or begins a completely new chat. Automatic deletion can reduce the amount of personal data available for training, since many large language models rely on large volumes of chat data to improve responses and personalization. Apple is expected to use synthetic data generation rather than real user data for training. Apple’s privacy-first approach is positioned as a core principle rather than an optional mode, and the updated Siri is expected to debut at WWDC 2026 on June 8.
