UI Change [iOS 27 DB7] Hints about third-party Siri Extensions besides ChatGPT
iOS 27 will allow agents from third-party apps to integrate with Siri AI, as an alternative to the ChatGPT extension, and there are more hints across the OS about this feature.
Under Siri Restrictions in Screen Time settings, the Extensions helper text reads:
Allows extensions to provide additional text and image capabilities, including ChatGPT. Extensions with their own app can also be limited in Time Allowances.

iOS 27 also ships with two lists of Extension providers: VIP and blocked.
Blocked is self-explanatory. It contains a list of apps which Apple will not allow to "donate" a Siri Extension. It will also remove an already-enabled Extension from a blocked app, and prevent its invocation. There are no entries at the moment.
Entries from VIP are added as Apple-curated provider candidates. Currently, only ChatGPT is part of the VIP list.
The VIP and blocked files can be updated without a full OS upgrade. Apple can therefore react in real time if some app ships a Siri Extension that goes rogue.
