How Siri Will Let You Sync Data Across Your Devices

Siri is undeniably an extremely intelligent feature that is used by all the Apple devices and it’s getting a lot smarter all these days. iOS 10 has been the most significant update for all the iPhone and iPad users. The update not only brought a new fleet of exciting features, it also revamped the UI and UX of the Apple’s mobile operating system. Not to forget, Siri also received a major upgradation with this update, rendering support for many third party applications and numerous other voice commands.

There’s no doubt that the forthcoming iOS 11 update is going to be even bigger from Siri’s perspective. The update is apparently arriving in September 2017 while the developer betas are rolling out pretty quickly. However, it would be too early to talk about the potential features of iOS 11 just yet. Although we have several beta versions of the same, there’s no certainty that the features are not going to change over time. But as it turns out, Siri is allegedly going to support multi-device sync features with the new iOS 11 update. Now you will be able to sync on-device data across all your Apple devices using iCloud.
