iOS 27.3 allows Siri [AI](https://migovi.com/tag/ai/) to control [Apple](https://migovi.com/tag/apple/) Notes more deeply, from creating and locking notes to scanning documents and managing to-do lists.

## What Siri AI can do in Notes

According to 9to5Mac, Siri AI is already a major upgrade over the legacy Siri. The iOS 27.3 update further expands the assistant's capabilities across Apple's built-in apps on [iPhone](https://migovi.com/tag/iphone/), iPad, Mac, and other devices.

*Apple Notes in iOS 27.3*

Notes is the app tested most extensively by the original author. While Siri has supported basic operations in Notes for years, this update introduces a comprehensive new set of controls.

According to a list surfaced by Siri itself, the assistant can create, update, or delete notes, folders, and tags. Siri can also lock or unlock notes, as well as add or remove links and tags. Additionally, it supports scanning documents and starting or stopping audio recordings.

Content editing actions include inserting text, formatting or highlighting selections, and replacing text. For checklists, Siri can check off, uncheck, or delete individual items.

## Real-world examples

The author has nearly 3,000 notes in Apple Notes and relies on the app daily. A common scenario is asking Siri to save the currently viewed web link to a note. Users can even specify the exact location for the link within that note.

As for third-party note apps, 9to5Mac notes that they could gain similar controls next year once app skills officially debut. For now, anyone looking to manage their notes by voice or through Spotlight has yet another reason to stick with Apple Notes.

✒️ MIGOVI VIEWPOINT

This is a logical step forward as virtual assistants shift from answering queries to taking direct in-app actions. For Notes, the most tangible benefit is quickly saving links or documents without touching the screen. However, because this feature set comes directly from Siri's self-reported list during testing, users should verify these capabilities hands-on after updating. The real competition will begin once third-party apps achieve a comparable level of integration.
