iOS 9 new features revealed, artificial intelligence becomes another highlight

According to the US technology blog 9to5Mac, sources said that Apple employees are working on the development of the Proactive project, which will integrate the Siri personal voice assistant service, contacts, calendars and various applications to provide users with the right information at the right time, thereby competing with Google's Google Now service.

The Spotlight search screen on iOS will be improved to automatically populate content based on the user's schedule and habits, the source said. For example, if the user is going on a trip, the Passbook app will pop up when it's time to leave; if the user always logs into Facebook in the morning, then there will be an app shortcut. When it's time to eat, users will also be able to see restaurant recommendations.

Regularly push common information

Other projects in development will also support Proactive. The map service will launch an augmented reality tool Browse Around Me to help users learn more about points of interest, such as getting the menu of a coffee shop when they see it. There will also be a scaled-down version of the Siri voice recognition service that allows users to send personal data to third-party software without facing the risks associated with privacy issues.
