Apple Plans to Remove "Hey" from "Hey Siri" Activation Phrase

Apple is reportedly considering a change to the activation phrase for its virtual assistant, Siri, in the upcoming iOS 17 update. Instead of the familiar "Hey Siri," users may only need to say "Siri" followed by their command. This alteration, if implemented, would replace the long-standing method that users have relied upon to access Siri on their iPhones, Macs, and other Apple device

According to a recent tweet by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple's forthcoming announcements may include this modification to the way Siri is triggered. Gurman had previously mentioned in a report last November that Apple is working on a new feature to enable Siri to understand and respond to commands without requiring the "Hey Siri" trigger phrase. The simplified command would solely involve saying "Siri

Apple is currently testing the removal of "Hey" from the activation phrase to streamline the user experience. Despite appearing to be a minor change, executing this adjustment requires a significant amount of artificial intelligence (AI) training and engineering work. The challenge lies in ensuring that Siri comprehends the single word "Siri" in various accents and dialects, as having two words in the current phrase, "Hey Siri," improves the system's accuracy in recognizing the activation signal

The proposed change to Siri's activation phrase aims to bring it in line with Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa, which can be invoked with a simple command of "Alexa." Additionally, Apple is working on integrating Siri with third-party apps and services to enhance its overall functionality and provide better assistance to user

Initially, the changes were expected to be rolled out in 2023 or 2024. However, a recent tweet suggests that Apple may introduce them sooner, possibly during the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). This update is anticipated to coincide with the announcement of Apple's first-ever mixed-reality headset, rumored to feature voice control

The Apple WWDC developers conference is set to commence today and will run until June 9. During the keynote address, Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to unveil the mixed-reality headset, new Macs, as well as updates to iOS, macOS, and more.
