Apple has finally given Indian iPhone users a big reason to smile. With the iOS 26 update, Siri can now understand and respond in Hinglish perfectly, making conversations with the voice assistant feel more natural than ever before.
For years, Indian users had to switch between English and Hindi when talking to Siri. But daily conversations in India are rarely in one language—people mix Hindi and English effortlessly. Apple has recognized this unique style and upgraded Siri’s intelligence to grasp Hinglish commands without confusion.
What this means for Indian users
Now you can say things like “Siri, light band kar do” or “Siri, call mom abhi”, and Siri will understand it instantly. This is a game-changer for millions of users who prefer a natural flow of speech instead of sticking to strict English.
Not only does Siri understand Hinglish better, but the responses also feel more localized. If you ask about cricket scores, weather updates, or even traffic conditions, Siri replies in a tone that feels closer to home.
Why Apple added Hinglish support
India is one of Apple’s fastest-growing markets, and Hinglish is the heartbeat of modern communication here. From casual chats to work meetings, people switch languages seamlessly. By making Siri Hinglish-friendly, Apple is showing clear intent to connect deeply with Indian users and make iPhones more personal.
The future of Siri in India
This upgrade could open doors for more localized features, including regional language support and India-first tools. Hinglish is just the beginning. With AI improvements, Siri is expected to become more context-aware, smarter, and culturally tuned for Indian audiences.
