- iOS 27 beta 3 lets Siri AI pull information from third-party apps, a capability 9to5Mac uncovered while reviewing the latest developer beta released to testers.
- The only examples confirmed so far involve retrieving remaining battery percentage from electric vehicle apps.
- Max Weinbach demonstrated the feature working with his Tesla by going through the third-party Tessie app rather than Tesla's official app.
- Alex in Colorado reported that Siri AI doesn't respond to the official Tesla app but does successfully pull data through Tessie.
- 9to5Mac reporter Fernando Silva tested the same feature with his own electric car and was unable to get it to work.
Why it matters: Inconsistent beta-stage results — one Tesla owner succeeding via Tessie while a colleague fails on a different EV — show the feature is still rough. The integration decisions developers make over the coming beta cycles will determine whether Siri AI becomes a genuine cross-app assistant or ships as another half-finished Apple Intelligence capability.
