Be Native: Learn Swift

About Be Native: Learn Swift

SiriAI, Spotlight and on-device intelligence. A refreshed Library and Search, with better accessibility. ASK BE NATIVE Ask about what you are studying and get an answer grounded in your own library: courses, lessons, podcasts, articles and their transcripts. It runs on device, so your questions never leave your iPhone or iPad. "How do I animate a chart in SwiftUI?" "What did the MapKit lesson say about annotations?" Ask SiriAI to find lessons. Be Native opens Ask Be Native with your question already submitted: "Find lessons about how to make a map in Be Native" "Search for lessons about SwiftUI using Be Native" Requires iOS 27 on a device with Apple Intelligence and SiriAI (beta). NOTES BY VOICE Create a note, add text to one, rename it or open it without touching the screen. If you leave something out, SiriAI asks for it. Find a note by its content, then tap its card to open it. "Create a note in Be Native" "Add 'check the delegate' to my SwiftData note in Be Native" "Find notes about SwiftUI using Be Native" PODCASTS BY VOICE Ask for an episode and it starts playing, with the episode and show on the Lock Screen and in Control Center. "Play the latest episode of Apple Coding Daily in Be Native" Say "in Be Native" or "using Be Native" so SiriAI knows which app you mean. SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS YOU Your courses, lessons, podcasts, articles and notes are indexed for Spotlight, transcripts included, so searching by an idea finds the lesson that explains it, not just the words you typed. Results come in one list with a featured card, and with Apple Intelligence our engine tells you why it chose them. Before you type, explore by topic. SHORTCUTS FOR TASKS SIRIAI CANNOT HANDLE YET Add them once in Shortcuts, then run them directly. "Continue my course in Be Native" picks up the lesson you left halfway "What was I watching in Be Native" brings back the last thing you opened "Open my notes in Be Native" The Find Lessons shortcut asks what you want to learn, then answers with a short explanation and the lessons that cover it. NOTIFICATIONS THAT TAKE YOU THERE Tapping a notification about new content opens that course or lesson directly. INSIGHT: OTHERS Others now works like the rest of Insight: each source has its own row of cards that you scroll sideways, and tapping a card plays the episode or opens the video. A Liquid Glass button next to the section picker filters by source. NOTES Your notes are now a clean list that is easy to scan, with the title and a short preview of each one. Notebooks and folders use a card layout, notes open in a dedicated reading screen, and Recently Deleted keeps what you delete until you empty it. LIBRARY My Content is now Library: Overview, Saved, In Progress and Completed, with search, sorting, filters by type and year, and grid or list on iPad. Continue where you left off and see your pace at a glance. ARTICLES The read-aloud version remembers where you stopped, on all your devices. On iPad in landscape, Read as a book opens a two-page spread. LISTS AND LESSONS Use + to choose a list. It remembers your last choice and removes an item if it is already on that list. Swipe a lesson to mark it as watched or add it to your last list. ACCESSIBILITY Clearer VoiceOver labels, headings and actions on every screen. Magic Tap starts and pauses playback. Text grows to the largest sizes, Bold Text uses our own typeface, and Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast are respected in light and dark mode. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE Faster, steadier streaming answers. Audio no longer blocks the interface while the app starts. Course trailers pause what you are listening to, and intros use your selected video language. Clearer messages when content is unavailable. Fixes across iPad and Mac. STICKERS A new sticker pack for Messages with up to 30 Swifty moments any developer will relate to. SiriAI currently speaks English only. More languages are coming soon.
