Perplexity has updated a voice assistant to its iOS app, letting users perform tasks like writing emails, setting reminders, and making reservations.
The voice assistant works even when users switch apps, but unlike on Android, it lacks screen-sharing support and runs on older devices like the iPhone 13 mini.
This update comes after previous delays related to obtaining necessary permissions from Apple.
Users must grant permissions for specific tasks, such as accessing reminders or contacts.
For instance, they can set reminders or send text messages by providing the required permissions or entering phone numbers directly.
The iOS version has limitations, such as no camera access or alarm setting, though users can still chat with the text-based assistant for image-related questions.
