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

There we go.

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

They got to go further.

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

Yes.

The Vergecast

Jake, what do you like?

The Vergecast

What are you excited about?

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

Okay, we talked about this a little bit earlier, but Apple framed the... Well, they had a whole bunch of screen time upgrades, and they framed a lot of the stuff around child controls.

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

But straight up, being able to schedule specific times when apps aren't allowed and how much time is allowed during those specific times...

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

that that's actually really, really useful.

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

I have, uh, Ozzy is mostly for TikTok, uh, but, but having, uh, a, a screen time limit on apps that you know are just sort of like time killers is really, really useful.

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

Um, but it's also very different, uh, during the week versus on the weekends or during, you know, work and school hours versus like,

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

at night when you really do have some time to kill.

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

And so I thought that was a super smart addition and something that people will legitimately get value out of.

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

Totally.

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

Yeah, totally.

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

My only feature request on that front, and this has been true for a long time, is I need the screen time limits to be meaner to me.

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

When it just throws up the thing and is like, put in your passcode and you can bypass it, I just will do that.

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

Screen time limits have never worked for me for that reason.

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

But if Siri would just show up as I was hitting the button and it was like, like, don't you do it, you stupid idiot.

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

Go play with your kids instead.

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

Do you know how successful that would be for me?
