The original Siri included integrations with many third parties that were dissolved after Apple bought the Siri startup five years ago. Ultimately, artificial intelligence behind-the-scenes could make it easier for users to organize their ever-growing photo collections, communicate and use online services more efficiently and toggle less between devices. In addition to having Siri on the desktop, the changes will allow developers to supercharge their apps with Siri's voice. For example, Apple will now scan your photos using facial recognition to cluster people together in your photo collection. Another Apple feature, called Memories, groups people together by location, and even shows where photos were taken on a map.
