Apple is Planning To Bring Offline Mode To Siri

Apple users will soon be able to interact offline with Siri, it’s virtual assistant. Recently, a patent was filed by Apple with USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office) regarding this update. The patent was named ‘Offline Personal Assistant’ and according to it a Cupertino-based company is currently working on it.
