iOS 14 Beta 5 reveals that users can run apps while interacting with Siri

Apple seeded iOS 14 Beta 5 to developers, last week. Since then developers are discovering new features in the iPhone’s software. Recently, a Reddit user AidenAlderson found that in the newly redesigned Siri, users can run apps in the background while talking to Siri. Previously, the voice assist UI took up the whole Home screen when activated.

The latest iOS 14 operating system was launched on June 9, at the World Wide Developers Conference 2020 online event. Apple has redesigned many of the existing features along with introducing new ones in the latest software. A more interactive, intuitive, and redesigned Siri is among the new changes on the iPhone’s coming to users in Fall.

In the uploaded video, the user is navigating through the Settings app and interact with Siri, simultaneously. This shows that users will be able to multi-task on their iPad while using Siri.

The new Siri appears as a small animated visual on the bottom on the screen when activated. Now Siri can also send audio messages to users’ contacts at times when texting is not possible or not adequate.
