Perplexity's AI voice assistant is now available on iOS
Briefly

The Perplexity bot has been officially launched on both iPhones and Android devices, enabling users to interact with a conversational AI voice assistant for various tasks. The iOS app update allows features like setting reminders and sending messages hands-free, even when users navigate away from the app. Unlike Siri, which is limited by newer devices, Perplexity can operate on older iPhones. Users can enjoy seamless interaction, as the assistant prompts for necessary permissions and offers alternatives when access is declined, ensuring functionality remains intact.
Perplexity's iOS App update introduces a voice assistant that allows users to set reminders, send messages, and perform various tasks hands-free, even while using other apps.
Unlike Siri, which is limited by Apple’s technology, Perplexity can function on older devices, providing users a powerful tool for managing daily tasks efficiently.
The assistant enhances user experience by asking for necessary permissions smoothly and providing alternative solutions, like telling the phone number for text messages without needing contact access.
Upon its launch on Android earlier this year, Perplexity's spokesperson revealed that the app's functionality would extend to iPhones once Apple permissions were acquired.
