watchOS 27 beta 3 brings Siri AI to the Apple Watch

Apple Watch owners can now finally use the new-and-improved Siri AI, thanks to watchOS 27 beta 3.

At WWDC 2026, Apple’s virtual assistant received a long-overdue upgrade. Siri AI, available on iOS 27 beta, supports contextual awareness and understands natural language, effectively making it an Apple-designed chatbot.

Initially, Siri AI was made available to developers with an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro. With Monday’s watchOS 27 developer beta, however, the revamped digital assistant has made its way to the Apple Watch, in the form of a dedicated Siri app.

Siri AI conversations held on one Apple device will appear across all linked and compatible products. This means that, even though Siri AI is new to the Apple Watch, developers can still pick up where they left off on their iPhone or iPad.

With watchOS 27 beta 3, the Siri app can be launched from the Dynamic App Grid, which acts as the default Home Screen. The Siri app is now front and center, with five surrounding context-aware applications chosen based on the wearer’s routines.

Monday’s developer beta, and watchOS 27, controversially require an Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch SE 3, or newer. Essentially, the operating system only supports six Apple Watch models, as Apple says newer hardware works best with Siri AI.
