A LOT of people telling me that Lumos and Nox doesn't work for them... Apparently, if you change your phone's region to United Kingdom, it will work (you could of course set it right back after). Give it a try if this tip isn't working for you.
Lumos and Nox work fine for me and my region is set to United States.
I'm on 15.5 beta 3, so maybe they've updated it to include other regions.
I'm in Australia and it worked for me too. I'm on 15.4.1
Works in Canada. 15.4.1 on an iPhone SE.
I’ve found the issue. It’s not whether Siri is set to UK or US or whoever, it’s how you start Siri.
It won’t work if you hold down the multi-use button to summon Siri.
You have to have “listening for Hey Siri!” Enabled and say “Hey Siri, Lumos”
YOU CAN ALSO SAY
“Hey Siri, Accio ‘Instagram’” and it’ll open Instagram or whatever app you say in ‘ ‘
It worked for me. My region is Canada. But I had to say Lumos a few times to be understood.
As someone who is made many computer training videos and a harsh critic of many who do, I’d really like to thank you for doing a well thought out, clearly, concise and well paced presentation. The contact is excellent too!👍
I really appreciate the calm, relaxed presentation.
@@peterkelly8357 my iphone S6dont wana open it shows the reboot thing
I cant switch it off what can i do
I couldn’t agree more!!😊
Setting the benchmark for presentation, clarity and content for all other RUclipsrs. Nice one.
Thank you, that's extremely kind of you.
That’s an excellent video. Well-structured, clear, not rushed and to the point. I thought I had a reasonable grasp of Siri … clearly I didn’t.
I totally agree!
This has to be one one of the best videos I have ever heard for years.
Lot of people tent to speak faster always trying to cover more that their time they and allowed to missing some pointers and have to go back several times.
@@isidronajar9051 Sometimes if it seems the person is talking too fast , I slow the speed from normal to . 75% and it helps.
Thank you for speaking slowly enough for us beginners to keep up. Great info to know.
I appreciate the way you described each feature without actually activating Siri. I wish people that did videos about Alexa’s features would follow the same protocol.
Like this type of content for the features directed more towards accessibility, not a lot of big tech RUclipsrs do that. Props!
I’m sure I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I find your video very useful and I enjoy them. They’ve really helped to make my devices more productive and practical. Great job!!!
Another outstanding video. Great job with the delivery and bonus for includes chapters.
I used to ignore Siri but have realized how valuable Siri is and how easy it is to use. Mostly I use Siri to get sports scores, weather updates and occasionally set up reminders.
I know for myself that for years I moved away from asking Siri anything because the answer was always the same “here’s what I found on the web”, for pretty much anything. Useless. But it has come so far, so fast, it’s very useful now. I use it almost exclusively now over Alexa. Thanks for this vid, I didn’t know it did this much more. 🇨🇦👍🏼
Hey Siri. Tell this guy this is such a great video. My therapist told me I need to develop better communication skills, this has helped so much! Thank you, I started using these immediately.
Love that!
This video is life-changing for me. I have shared it with all my low vision friends. Thank you so very much.
That’s AMAZING to hear! I’m so glad you’ve found the content so helpful 🙂
Another great review! I’ve watched all your videos, and I now have become a power user! Keep up the excellent work my man
Thank you; information delivered in a concise, clear and useable manner. You are awesome and the content is so relevant for apple techies.
Since I have “cut the wire” and am using RUclipsTV on my AppleTV, I can simply say “Hey Siri, pause the TV,” or if I’m refilling a drink in the kitchen and have missed something I can say “Hey Siri, jump back 30 seconds on the TV” and it does so. Quite an awesome hands free tip.
Wankers , bonkers and yonkers
A siri command I use often is "remind me at work to do whatever I need to do" so when I arrive at work I get a reminder to do what I told siri. Very useful for me.
Yes! I use this feature when I’m headed to a particular store, say Walmart or my favorite grocery store to not forget an item
I just found your channel and after listening I quickly subscribed. Reason being being is you take your time and don’t rush through. So much better to slow down so we can understand. Thank you.
First of all, I appreciate Siri more than I have in the past. Thanks for that. Secondly, Lumos and Nox will be getting a lot of use from me for a long time.
Thank you again for teaching us to get the most out of our devices, it’s just brilliant!
This is great information! I was particularly delighted by the splitting the bill tip. I will use that often going forward.
Great episode, thanks, for me “setting timers” are a huge help to ensure I don’t forget something while I am preoccupied.
Previously, I’m not a Siri user until now and I am amazed how helpful it is and continue to learn from you. Thanks
I cannot believe how happy I am that I found your channel! I am sharing it with all my friends who have iPhones
Siri is greatly underused and yet it’s so versatile. One of my favourite uses is to ask “Siri what movies are showing at the moment” to check the local showtimes and get a rundown of movie options and even provides and plays the film trailers instantly. Tip: If you have misplaced your board game dice. “Siri roll a dice” and get the result as if you had rolled the dice yourself. Works for coin flipping also “Siri flip a coin”.
I’ve used ‘Siri, flip a coin’ to make an important life decision more times than I’d care to admit.
I always use Siri to see what nba teams are playing during the day, and also use Siri to keep up on the standings of the teams throughout the season
@@ProperHonestTech Thank you for the reply. If you have no objection I'd like to know the product details for your desk lamp, which is not detailed within your showcased desk setup products, as I'm looking for a similar harmonious desk lamp.
@@JonSawer No worries - it’s from IKEA, it’s called the Tertial lamp. Very cheap, and I’ve simply fitted mine with a Hue bulb to have it work with my office Hue system (the bulb cost twice as much as the lamp)
Siri is great for Dad Jokes, "Siri, tell me a joke"
Thank you for helping me to increase my understanding of the iPhone and its broad capabilities.
Great video again!! Useful, short, clear, waiting your next video 👊🏻
As a new iPhone user (iPhone 13 Pro Max) this video has been extremely helpful and informative. I really like the “down to business” tips where it’s straight to the point without a lot of unnecessary dialogue. Thank you!
You’ll love your iPhone 13 pro max . I’ve had mine a couple of years and find it has many helpful features .
I like the bill idea and percentages , I have used Siri for the song name for a long time I love that feature. Siri does tons of other things too. I’m sure tutorials are out there. I think sending texts is a huge one for those who don’t like to type like some senior citizens who can’t see well and Siri will read the reply texts back too, this feature has been around for a long time. Always love seeing new features or tricks
I just love those videos, they are very clean (good cameras, scenarios and effects) and with a very good content. Thanks a lot for them
Thank you, I'm really glad you appreciate them.
very nice videos. not overly fast, pausing not needed and very relaxing voice. Thanks!
"hey Siri, remember where I parked my car"... than "hey Siri, where did I park my car?"
“Sorry, I don’t understand”
“I forgot”
Absolutely spot on! Thank you for that fantastic tutorial, I had no idea.
Thank you!!! I tried all the tips and they work…even the “lumos” and “nox” controls. (I’m in the US)
I learned so much from your content. 🎉
When doing a task and I have something else to do in 36 mins, I just ask Siri to set a timer for 36 minutes and then I can focus on the task at hand. Also when following a recipe and I need the measurements in grams instead of ounces I simply ask Siri to convert the amount while my hands are full.
Siri saves me so much time, I can ask Siri to remind me when to get washing out of the machine, and if I’m making the evening meal, I just ask her to remind me when I need to do different parts of the prep… then go back to RUclips.
This is now my all-time favorite video on using Siri!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I m so happy to find this tutorial. It's working for me. Thank you for sharing
This is excellent. Thank you at last for well constructed comment and an excellent pace of delivery. I wish American presenters would follow this example.
Thank you so much for your video’s! They have been so helpful and I’ve learned so much ( I also never write comment’s). One of the many ways that you are especially good at is speaking clearly and without jargon not understood by those of us who are not computer savvy. Thanks again, Janice
Thank you for your video. Love the content and how you deliver it.
I learned so much, thank you. I especially love the screenshot and split the bill features.
Thank you for sharing these really helpful tips !
Oh boy please continue, I can never ask anything from my children.💁🏼♀️😄
Such a great video. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! What an excellent video. I'm going to use so many of these!!
Brilliant helpful video, thanks so much! 😁
What a great helpful video Lumos and Nox worked for me! Subscribed.
Wow! These are super useful! Thanks 😊
So very helpful! Thanks so much! Clear, concise and useful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant and very clear and professionally explained
Thank you I know nothing about I phones so I find your podcasts very very helpful
Wow ty. Some I knew but some I didn't. Brilliant video and I'm glad that u popped up and I found ur channel.
Love this, the screenshot will be really helpful
Loved this! Brilliant!
As a follower, I am thankful for your continued great videos and I do count on you to improve my usage of the features on my phone. Very grateful and appreciative.
What a well produced, clear video! I have a border collie and walk a lot and listen to the radio all the time using my EarPods. Siri is very useful for controlling the radio - "Louder", "Quieter", "Pause", "Play". But Siri won't start a programme. I also love it when I say "Siri", and wait. After a second or two, Siri will come back with "uh-huh?" It's very friendly and gentle.
So helpful. Thank you
Oh my grandma loves the Lumos and Nox - these videos are excellent as I learn all about my new iPhone - love Siri
Subscribed immediately after seeing this video! excellent illustrations…I learn much better visually so this was heaven for my brain … thanks a million!
Great video! I hardly knew any of those tricks!!!
What a very good video , I wish every video was this good,informative, clear and concise
Thank you!
Thanks for the clear explanations of how to use Siri😊
Very helpful video. I tried some of the shortcuts on my phone in the USA, and they all worked, even the tour had on/off. Lights on or off wanted an app set up for actual lightbulbs. Loved the video.
Very useful. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for your help.
Great vid, thanks for sharing... Keep up the great work
Great reminders!
So happy I found you! I learned more about my phone in last couple days than I have in last seven years. 🙏
That’s amazing to hear, thank you!
Awesome! Had no idea Siri could do all this. I tried the Lumos and Nox, worked great here in the USA. Now if I can just remember them, they are handy
Brilliant video!
Thank you! This information is freaking fantastic! I just purchased my iPhone 13 and my focus has always been on what Siri can do… Amazing!
These tips are so useful. Thanks! It would help to know the equivalents in American English, where they differ. Torch vs flashlight, for example. Just found your channel tonight and subscribed right away. You're the most efficient iPhone whisperer I've come across.
Torch works in the US too
When you said torch, I’m thinking that would be cool for flashlight. It took me a second to realize they are the same thing. My hubby struggles to find the button. Thank you.
Your videos are very helpful clear and to the point and explained in easy direction. Keep them coming
Thanks 😊
Great presentation for beginners! Clear and consice.
Thank you. Excellent tutorial.
OMG. You’re a GENIUS. BRILLIANCE!!! Thank you!!! Love the “Set brightness to 25.” or “Torch off.” My contribution: Have Siri compute arithmetic for quick calculations. Again, THANK YOU!!!
Awesome information!
This is absolutely what I need, amazing video. Thank you for sharing😃😍👍👍👍
These were very useful and fun.. Thanks so much
Awesome video. Thank you so much for we non-tech oriented!😉👍

Just great! When your age is 82 years old we need all the help we can get and I found this be informative and I have subscribed and look forward to more of your input
The “how many days until...” command is a handy feature for me. ☺️👍
Very practical. Thanks!!
Well done . Good speed on presentation
This was great! Thanks
Thank you for not saying "Hey Siri". I appreciate you :)
Setting a timer for cooking is very helpful, thanks for the other tips!
This was awesome! I just got my iPhone 14 and had no idea Siri could do all of this You made my day!
thanks for this. most of these are new to me and quite helpful.
OMG Thanks for the "Lumos and Nox" trick!!!!
Awesome! Especially helpful for this senior.
