Siri is rumored to be coming to the Mac and third-party apps with an official Siri software development kit (SDK). In addition to teasing a dark mode in iOS 10, Siri seems to beĀ also trolling Apple fans worldwide with an unusual reference to OS X Finder when asked to āopen settings in the window.ā
There are no windows in iOS, of course, so one would expect Siri to respond with an āI don’t understandā whereas she in fact says that āIt doesn’t look like you have an app named ‘Finder’ā, as first spotted by Brian Roemmele.
You can try it out yourself.
Simply press and hold the Home button on your iOS device to invoke Siri, and then say, āSiri, show settings in the windowā. Your question must begin with āSiriā or the query won’t yield a response saying, āIt doesn’t look like you have an app named ‘Finder’ā or āI need Finder to do thatā.
For non-Mac owners, Finder is the OS X file management application.
The response suggests that Siri’s backend had been updated with hooks for Mac appsĀ aheadĀ of today’s keynote. āWhen I asked a similar question a few weeks ago Siri reported that she couldn’t help me with that,ā wrote Roemmele.

As mentioned, asking Siri to āTurn on dark modeā on an iOS device produces a response saying, āSorry, but I’m not able to change that setting,ā indicating she soon might be able to, provided the rumors of dark mode coming to iOS 10 areĀ true.
