Just forget it's there.

You have to just shake your phone violently.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

We've taken the undo shake.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That's not bad, actually.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

You get Siri by shaking it as hard as you can.

To be clear, that's the correct way to live your life.

Like, congratulations on being a more well-adjusted human than either Jake or I. I'm sure we've both gotten hundreds of notifications since we've been sitting here.

Um, let's talk about some of the trots and safety stuff just for a few minutes, because, um, I think a, it was fascinating that Apple spent as much time as it did on this stuff.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And B, um, I think the amount of time it spent and the actual stuff it's shipping is

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

we're kind of not commensurate.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Does that make sense, Ray?

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I think, again, I was so struck this whole time by Apple is making a very clear messaging pivot to we are the good guys.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Like, it's Tim Robinson in the hamburger suit being like, we're all trying to figure out who did this.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And even given all of that, I think Apple is...

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

If Apple is serious about this idea of we need to give people more tools to responsibly use their devices, particularly kids, I think that's great.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I don't think Apple shipped that much here.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Like they talked a lot about principles, Jake, but they didn't give us that much new stuff.
