Om Mani – Global Buddhism

Om Mani is ready for iOS 27. This is our biggest update yet, bringing your practice deeper into the Apple ecosystem: start chanting with Siri, find sutras directly from Spotlight, enjoy an adaptive interface across iPhone and iPad, and explore explanations for even the longest sutras. TALK TO SIRI • Just say “Om Mani Padme Hum,” “Play something with Om Mani,” or name a chant to start listening even when the app isn’t open. Pause, skip, or shuffle with your voice. • Ask Siri to open the exact sutra chapter you left off on, search content in the app, check today’s lunar date, or open a Buddha’s page simply by saying their name. • The chant you’re listening to appears on the Lock Screen and in Control Center, so you can control playback without opening the app. ADAPTS TO YOUR WINDOW • The interface now adapts automatically to the available display size, keeping content balanced and easy to follow. • On iPad, the calendar and day details can appear side by side, the sutra library expands into multiple columns, and the Practice screen makes better use of the larger display. FIND IT IN SPOTLIGHT • Find sutras, chants, Buddhas, temples, or Buddhist events directly from Spotlight. Even searches without diacritics can find the right content and open its page instantly. • Spotlight supports all 24 languages in Om Mani and automatically follows your app language. SUTRA EXPLANATIONS • Tap the Sutra of the Day to explore an explanation powered by Apple Intelligence, covering its meaning, lessons, and how they can be applied in daily life. • While reading a sutra, tap Explain to better understand the current chapter, even when it’s long. For sutras without chapters, Om Mani can explain the entire text. This feature can be turned on or off in Chanting Settings. AND MORE • Refreshed Chanting Settings for a cleaner and easier-to-read experience. • Improved sutra reading with gentler visuals and smoother scrolling. • Redesigned the app language selection screen to make choosing a language clearer and more intuitive. • Reviewed and refined localized content across supported languages, making Om Mani feel more natural, clear, and familiar wherever you are. • Fixed minor issues and optimized app performance. This update brings many changes, from the things you can see to improvements behind the scenes. We’re very excited to bring this new version to you. May everyone remain mindful and peaceful.
