Siri in Polish: When Is It Coming? What Works in Polish on iPhone Now (2026)

TL;DR:

• You still can't talk to Siri in Polish. The Siri list on Apple's iOS 27 feature availability page has 37 countries and regions and Poland isn't one of them (checked October 31, 2026). Apple hasn't given a date.
• Polish works in a few corners of iOS: keyboard dictation, call recording and Siri's translation feature. Polish dictation has no automatic punctuation, and Notes can't transcribe Polish audio.
• Google's Gemini speaks Polish. Google announced Polish for Gemini Live in November 2024. It's good for questions and conversation; your plans still live in another app.
• Codot understands spoken Polish on iPhone and Android. It's our product, so weigh that section accordingly. You say what you need to do and it becomes tasks, events and notes.

Codot, a voice-first personal AI assistant, is our product, so we're not neutral here. Everything below about Apple and Google comes from their own pages, linked and checked on October 31, 2026. We haven't run a formal Polish recognition test on any of these assistants, so we don't rank them by accuracy.

Polish iPhone owners have been asking "when will Siri speak Polish?" for about a decade. The usual workaround is to run Siri in English. That holds up for "set a timer for ten minutes" and falls apart when you say "remind me to call Mrs. Kowalska about the Mokotów flat": Siri, listening in English, mangles both the name and the district. This article is for people who want to talk to their phone in Polish and end up with something saved.

Does Siri speak Polish in 2026?

Not out loud. The Siri section of Apple's iOS 27 feature availability page lists the countries and regions where Siri works, from Australia to Vietnam, including Finland, Norway, Sweden and Türkiye. Poland isn't on it. Polish does appear elsewhere on the same page: under Dictation, under Phone call recording, and under "Siri: Translations", which means Siri can translate a phrase into Polish for you. Talking to Siri in Polish isn't on the list.

The bigger Siri rebuild, Siri AI, has an extra obstacle in Poland. Antyweb reported in June 2026 that the new Siri isn't coming to Poland at launch because Apple and the European Commission hadn't settled how it complies with the Digital Markets Act, and that several Apple Intelligence features in iOS 27 only work after switching the phone's language to English. Some Polish Apple sites have since written that iOS 27 betas accept typed Polish in Siri AI but not spoken Polish. I couldn't confirm that on any Apple page, so treat it as a report, not a feature.

My suggestion: plan the next year as if spoken Polish Siri doesn't arrive, and enjoy it if it does.

Which assistants understand Polish?

Status on October 31, 2026, based on each company's own documentation:

Google is ahead of Apple here. Its Gemini help page lists Polish among the Gemini web app's languages, and the Google Poland blog announced on November 7, 2024 that Gemini Live speaks Polish, with up to two languages on one device. Polish tech press covered the wider rollout in early 2025.

None of the big assistants is built to keep your to-do list, though. Gemini will discuss your week in fluent Polish. Turning "odebrać dzieci o czwartej, w piątek faktura dla Nowaka" (pick up the kids at four, invoice Nowak on Friday) into dated tasks with reminders is a different job.

What already works in Polish on your iPhone

Start with what's already on the phone. It costs nothing.

Polish reminders by dictation

Apple lists Polish (Poland) under Dictation, so the free way to add a Polish reminder is:

1. Open Reminders and tap New Reminder.
2. Tap the microphone on the keyboard. Check the keyboard is set to Polish (tap the globe if it isn't).
3. Say the reminder, for example "zadzwonić do banku w sprawie kredytu" (call the bank about the mortgage).
4. Tap the i and set the date and time yourself. Dictation writes the words; it doesn't read a due time out of them.

The same Apple page shows two limits. Polish isn't listed for Auto-Punctuation or On-Device Dictation, so you say "przecinek" and "kropka" out loud and the phone needs a connection. And dictation is still typing with your voice: one reminder at a time, dates by hand.

Voice notes in Polish

Voice Memos records Polish fine. Turning it into text is the problem: Polish isn't among the languages Apple lists for audio transcription in Notes or for call transcription. A Polish memo stays audio you have to replay. There's more on the built-in options in voice notes to text on iPhone.

Codot: a voice assistant you can talk to in Polish

Codot is a personal AI assistant you talk to. You say one messy sentence and it sorts it: tasks with due times, calendar events, notes and details about the people you know. It understands spoken Polish, along with Czech, German, Swedish, Russian, English and Chinese. For a Polish speaker that's the useful part, because the jobs Siri can't do in Polish are the everyday ones Codot is built for.

You can use it in the iPhone app, from a Lock Screen widget, on Apple Watch and on the web, and there's an Android app on Google Play. It syncs with Google Calendar, and each morning a briefing lists what's due.

What to say

These are the sentences Codot is meant for. Say them the way they come out:

• "Jutro o dziesiątej zadzwonić do pani Kowalskiej w sprawie mieszkania na Mokotowie, a w piątek wysłać fakturę Nowakowi." (Tomorrow at ten call Mrs. Kowalska about the Mokotów flat, and on Friday send Nowak the invoice.)
• "Przesuń spotkanie z księgową na poniedziałek po południu." (Move the meeting with the accountant to Monday afternoon.)
• "Notatka o Piotrze: córka zaczyna studia w październiku, zapytać w listopadzie, jak jej idzie." (Note about Piotr: his daughter starts university in October, ask in November how it's going.)

The first becomes two tasks with times. The second moves an event you already have. The third is saved on Piotr's contact, so it's there the next time you speak to him.

To skip unlocking the phone, put Codot on your iPhone Lock Screen and start recording from there.

Where Codot stops

Codot manages your plans; it doesn't control the phone. For calls, timers and HomeKit you'll still use Siri in another language, or the buttons. It doesn't browse websites, fill in forms or buy things for you. It can mishear an unusual surname, in Polish or any language, so check what it created for the first few days. On Android I haven't confirmed that the Lock Screen and watch shortcuts match the iPhone version, so I'm not promising them there.

On price: Codot's free plan covers tasks, the calendar, notes, the personal CRM, habits, calorie logging and expenses. Reminders at a set time, repeating tasks, daily briefings, scheduled automations and email triage are part of Codot Max ($12.99 a month or $99.99 a year, with 20x the free plan's usage). Every new account gets 7 days of Max free, then drops back to the free plan without charging you. Data is encrypted and never sold.

How I'd choose

This is our opinion, as the team that makes one of the options:

• You want to ask questions and chat in Polish: use Gemini. It's free and Google documents Polish support.
• You add a handful of reminders a week: Polish dictation in Apple Reminders is free. Set the dates by hand.
• Things come to mind while driving, walking or between meetings and you want them saved with times, without opening a list: that's what Codot does in Polish. If you're also weighing English-language apps, see the best voice to-do list apps for iPhone.
• You want Siri itself in Polish: only Apple can ship that. Waiting is the only option.

Czech speakers are in the same position; I wrote about voice assistants that understand Czech a few days ago.

FAQ

When will Siri speak Polish?

Apple hasn't said. As of October 31, 2026 the iOS 27 feature availability page doesn't list Poland for Siri, and Apple has announced no date for spoken Polish.

Can Siri understand Polish at all?

Only in narrow ways. Siri can translate phrases into Polish, and Polish keyboard dictation works in any app. You can't run Siri itself in Polish.

Is there a free Polish voice assistant for iPhone?

Gemini is free and speaks Polish for questions and conversation. For reminders, Apple Reminders with Polish dictation is free but you set dates by hand. Codot's free plan turns a spoken Polish sentence into tasks with times; reminders at a set time are part of Codot Max, which every new account can try free for 7 days.

How is Codot different from Siri?

Siri controls the phone: timers, calls, settings, HomeKit, though not in Polish. Codot is an assistant for your plans. You speak Polish and it creates and moves tasks, events, notes and contact details, syncs with Google Calendar and sends a morning briefing.

Does Codot work on Android?

Yes, Codot is on Google Play, and spoken Polish works there too. I haven't confirmed that every iPhone shortcut, such as the Lock Screen widget or Apple Watch, has an Android equivalent.

If you've given up waiting for Siri to learn Polish, say your next to-do to Codot on the App Store. On Android, it's on Google Play.
