Siri Recap uses ambient listening to generate a title and key points of a conversation in the Siri app. Live Rewind transcribes the last 15 seconds of audio, shown with a double press of the Digital Crown. Apple says raw audio is handled in dedicated hardware, is not saved and is inaccessible to the operating system, apps or Apple. The iOS 27.3 beta tests a redesigned Health app.
