Perplexity’s iOS App Now Talks Back with AI Voice Assistant

Perplexity’s iOS app update introduces an AI voice assistant, enabling iPhone users to perform tasks like booking reservations and drafting emails through voice commands.

Hey iPhone fam, Perplexity just rolled out a seriously cool update for its iOS app, and guess what? It’s all about that AI voice assistant magic. Remember how Android folks were showing off with this earlier? Well, now it’s our time to glow up. This AI buddy isn’t just smart—it can surf the web, pop open apps like OpenTable to snag you a dinner reservation (yep, you still gotta tap ‘confirm’ yourself), and even whip up emails for you. Fancy, right?

But hold up—there’s more where that came from. Craving the best sushi in the city? Just ask, and Perplexity will pin it on your map. Got a YouTube video in mind? Speak up, and it’ll play it for you. And here’s the kicker for those of us with older iPhones: this feature doesn’t play favorites. Unlike *ahem* certain Apple Intelligence features that only vibe with the latest models, this one’s for everyone.

Now, before you get too excited, no, it can’t identify objects for you… at least not yet. That’s still Android’s party trick. But hey, the future’s wide open. Maybe next update, we’ll all be chatting with our phones like they’re our personal assistants. So go ahead, update the app and start telling your phone what to do. After all, it’s 2025—time to live that voice-controlled dream.
