Here are the details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, Apple released<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/heres-whats-new-with-ios-27-beta-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> iOS 27 developer beta 2<\/a>, alongside its counterparts for the OS 27 release cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the most notable changes were a new <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/apple-wallet-in-ios-27-adds-new-feature-for-tracking-your-money\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Insights<\/a> feature on Apple Wallet, a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/ios-27-beta-write-with-siri\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write with Siri<\/a>\u201d suggestion on the iOS and iPadOS keyboard, and the possibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/ios-27-makes-it-easier-to-update-your-apple-tv-software\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">update<\/a> an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44sn40V\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple TV 4K<\/a> remotely from the Apple Home app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release also includes many under-the-hood changes, one of which makes it more clear how Siri AI should handle requests involving accessing content behind a URL. A new section in Siri AI\u2019s system prompt now says:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot access content behind a URL: When a user provides a URL and asks you to summarize, read, or extract information from it, inform them that you cannot access web pages. Do not offer follow-up suggestions or workarounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siri AI was already unable to access URLs to extract content. However, the new section instructs it to clearly state that it cannot fulfill such requests, nor assist the user if they try to circumvent the limitation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Apple\u2019s reasoning is unclear, the rule may be intended to keep Siri AI from following other AI chatbots in pulling and summarizing website content without sending users to the original pages, a practice that could make the web increasingly unsustainable over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, Safari offers Apple Intelligence-powered summaries, but the feature is only accessible when the user is viewing the webpage itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s 9to5Mac\u2019s roundup of more than 200 changes included in the iOS 27 beta:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Worth checking out on Amazon<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1767146409_918_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1767146410_539_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QOoNKR\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1056731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/750-x-150-all-deals-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new rule added to Siri AI\u2019s system prompt in iOS 27 beta 2 changes how it should&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":759611,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,61],"class_list":["post-759610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=759610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759610\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/759611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=759610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=759610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=759610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
