 With iOS 26.2 beta 3, Apple appears to be laying the groundwork for a future option allowing iPhone users in the EU to choose a different default voice assistant than Siri. Right now, a press and hold gesture on the Side Button only activates ?Siri?, but there are multiple references to new Side Button behavior in the beta.

According to the Windows Insider Blog, the latest version of the Copilot app on Windows can now connect to Google personal services to scan their contents. A Google account connected can let Copilot search through and analyze (at least) Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Contacts. You can also use this third-party connection to let it access other Microsoft accounts beyond your primary one, so it can get into OneDrive and Outlook on another account too.
The main idea here is natural language search and analysis. For example, you can ask, "What's the email address for Sarah," assuming you only know one Sarah and that Copilot understands the context. But if you're inclined to do that and you need information that's in your Google account and not your Microsoft account… why wouldn't you just use Gemini, which is Google's flavor of the same thing? It's available right in the browser, no extra legwork required.
Possibly more useful (and less alarming) is a new document creation tool. The Windows Copilot app can now adapt a conversation into a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, PowerPoint slide deck, or PDF, and export it. Both features are available via the Insider channel on the Microsoft Store, though they might not be turned on right away for all users.
