Apple owns Siri.
Initially, Siri was developed as a standalone application by Siri Inc., a company founded in 2007. The application was first released for the iOS operating system in February 2010. At that time, the developers had plans to expand Siri's availability to other platforms, including Android and BlackBerry devices.
However, just two months after its iOS launch, Apple acquired Siri in April 2010. Following this acquisition, Apple integrated Siri directly into its operating systems, starting with iOS 5 on the iPhone 4S in October 2011. Since then, Siri has become a core feature across Apple's ecosystem, including iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and audio devices like the HomePod. Apple ceased development of Siri as a standalone app for other platforms and discontinued its availability for non-Apple devices.
In summary, while Siri originated as a third-party application, it was acquired by Apple shortly after its initial release and is now exclusively owned and developed by Apple Inc.
