Apple has rolled out a game-changing update with iOS 26, and the highlight for Indian users is that Siri now speaks flawless Hinglish. This means the voice assistant can finally understand and respond naturally in a mix of Hindi and English, just the way millions of people in India actually talk.
Why this update is a big deal
For years, iPhone users in India had been waiting for Siri to feel more local. While it supported Hindi and English separately, it often struggled when users mixed both languages in a single command. With iOS 26, Siri now adapts perfectly to phrases like “Siri, kal ka weather batao” or “Siri, mom ko WhatsApp message bhej do”.
Features of Siri’s Hinglish support
- Smooth understanding of daily conversations in Hinglish.
- Works with apps like WhatsApp, Messages, Maps, and Reminders.
- Supports smart home commands in Hinglish.
- Personalized suggestions in a more natural, desi style.
What users are saying
Social media is already buzzing with reactions. Many iPhone owners are calling this Siri’s most “Indian” update ever. Tech experts believe this move will make iOS 26 more appealing to the massive Indian smartphone market, where Hinglish is a default way of communication.
How to enable Hinglish Siri
If you’ve updated to iOS 26, just head to Settings → Siri & Search → Language → Hinglish and activate it. Once set, Siri will instantly start responding in Hinglish.
