Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Three16 is free to download and use, with no ads and no subscription.
Which translations are included?
The Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, American Standard Version and World English Bible in English, and the Reina-Valera 1909, Biblia en Español Sencillo and Santa Biblia libre para el mundo in Spanish. You can add more in the app.
Which iPhones can use Ask?
Ask uses Apple Intelligence, so it needs an iPhone that supports it, with Apple Intelligence turned on. On other iPhones everything else works, and Search still finds verses on any topic.
Can the AI get things wrong?
Yes. Answers are based on the passage you ask about, but always check them against the Bible and talk with your pastor. Ask is a study helper, not a replacement for Scripture or your church.
Where do my questions go?
Nowhere. They’re answered on your iPhone and stay there.
Do I need an account?
No. If you’re signed in to iCloud, your highlights, notes and place in the Bible sync between your devices on their own.
Coming soon to the App Store.
Free for iPhone. Questions or ideas? We’d love to hear from you.
