Apple Beta Releases

So I’ve discovered that Siri now has the ability to read, delete, reply to email messages. In the past, all Siri could do was read the subject and who the email was from. Now, Siri goes through the list of emails one by one and waits for you to provide instruction. It will tell you who the email is from, the subject, the time, and then pause. You can then say next, previous, read, delete, reply.

Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

Correction. Siri won’t Actually respond to deleting the email. If you say delete, it’ll just skip to the next email.

That's cool. I'm Glad you are able to read, reply, and delete emails using Siri. Previously you were unable to do that, but now you can. Good job apple.
