iOS 27 brings a new Siri mode that could change how you use your iPhone camera

Apple has released the second developer beta of iOS 27, and it brings much more than just bug fixes and performance improvements. One of the standout features of iOS 27 is the revamped Siri experience. While not all anticipated features made it into the first developer beta, the latest version introduces several new additions, including an entirely new Siri mode within the iPhone Camera app. This feature joins existing camera options—such as Photo, Video, and Portrait—offering users a completely new way to interact with the world around them.

Your camera could become a smarter assistant

Apple officially unveiled iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 earlier this month, introducing a much smarter version of Siri. The enhanced assistant is designed to enable more natural conversations, offer superior visual intelligence, and perform smarter actions across various apps. Now, some of those capabilities are coming directly to the Camera app.

Instead of simply taking photos or recording videos, the camera can now help users understand what they are looking at.

The new mode integrates visual intelligence features directly into the camera interface. Previously, these functions were tied to the iPhone’s Camera Control button and were part of a standalone experience separate from the Camera app itself.

With iOS 27, that changes.

Point, look, and get answers

When using the Siri mode, the iPhone camera can provide information and perform actions based on what is in front of you. For example, users can point the camera at a restaurant and instantly access its Maps listing. Siri can then display details such as reviews, opening hours, and other relevant information. The idea is simple: instead of performing manual searches, users can simply point their camera at something and let Siri do the work.

A logical change

From an accessibility standpoint, this move also makes a lot of sense. Instead of hiding useful AI features elsewhere, Apple is integrating them into one of the iPhone’s most frequently used apps.
