Weekly Tech Recap: Google’s Chrome under antitrust threat, Apple’s AI-powered Siri plans and more

Live Mint  

With a barrage of news pouring in every week, keeping up with the biggest stories can be challenging. This week’s top news include reports of Google potentially being forced to sell its Chrome browser and decouple key services from Android, hints at a more conversational Siri in iOS 19, the rollout of WhatsApp’s new voice note transcription feature, and more. 3) LLM Siri set to make debut with iOS 19: After giving a major overhaul to Siri with iOS 18 earlier this year, Apple is now planning to develop a more conversation version of the voice assistant akin to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, according to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. However, much like the upgraded Siri features in iOS 18, the new Siri isn't expected to come packed with iPhone 17 next year and instead the Cupertino based tech giant is planning to release the revamped digital assistant some time in Spring 2026, as per Gurman. 4) WhatsApp gets new Voice Note Transcription feature: WhatsApp has introduced a new transcription feature that allows users to read the contents of voice messages without needing to listen to them.
