*TOP 11* Siri TRICKS!!

- Опубликовано: 8 май 2017
- Are you underutilizing Siri? We asked our Facebook fans about their favorite uses for Siri on their iPhone/iPad/Mac. Most people referred to the basic uses like using Siri to set a timer, but that little voice in your iDevice is capable of a lot more! Here's David's Top 11 (we couldn't come up with a clean number like "10") favorite Siri tricks.
About Smart Home Products
There's a ton of different products in your home that can now be controlled by Siri. Here are a few of my favorites
1. Lights. When it comes to lights, the two "big dogs" are Philips Hue and LIFX. I own both and after owning both for over a year now, I significantly prefer LIFX. Why? The colors are more vibrant, the LIFX app just does more than Philips Hue, and now that they're able to communicate with via HomeKit, there is no down-side that I can think of. LIFX bulbs also don't require a hub (unlike Hue). LIFX makes several kinds of smart lights. This link will take you to all of them: amzn.to/2qWeHWW
2. Thermostat - While I wish I could use this one myself, unfortunately, I have electric heat (and no smart thermostats work with electric heat). There's several popular models. Here's a few:
Nest: amzn.to/2ps9WTu
Ecobee2: amzn.to/2q2YiAA
Honeywell (lest expensive) amzn.to/2qnBChr
3. Wall Outlets. (CORRECTION: The WeMo only works with Amazon Echo aka Alexa however I also have a link below to one which does work with HomeKit aka your iPhone) I personally own two Belkin WeMo units. These allow you to plug in any kind of appliance and then be able to control it remotely. Make sure to set the device into the "on" position so that it can be controlled via the smart plug.

KooGeek (works with Homekit) amzn.to/2ps2Xdp

My favorite application of Siri “stunts” is to combine with Geo Fences. “Hey Siri, when I go to the Hardware store remind me to buy a hammer.” You can keep adding to the list and when you approach the hardware store (you will have to give her the address 1st time) she will remind you of all the items you have on the list. OR - If you get home and realize you are low on gas and don’t want to forget to fill up; “Hey Siri, when I leave here, remind me to get gas.” She will remind you as you pull out of the driveway. Just two examples, there are a million more. BTW, you can expand or contract your geo fences to remind you of things as you approach them. And I suspect that if you combined WORK FLOW you could trigger all kinds of actions just by moving from one place to another.
Cheers and thanks for another terrific vid!
Warning; She will forever remind you until you clear it from your reminders list! LOL (you don’t want her to turn into a nag, trust me)
Awesome! I never knew about this!
I asked Siri to call me “Your Majesty”. It is quite amusing. Thank you for the tips!
When I have long articles to read I will have Siri speak screen and read the article to me while my attention is elsewhere doing something else. This is an excellent feature, for which I do not have to go and find my glasses.
Pat Fraser what a great idea. I know I don’t make as good use of Siri as I can. Thanks for the idea.
I, too, swear by asking Siri to add things to lists. So handy while in the middle of cooking and am using the last of something!
David, This was a fantastic class. You are amazing!
Thanks, David, I always like your "Tech-Talks" PLEASE keep them coming!
Great video!!! for number two, when at the grocery store.... I just ask Siri to show me my grocery list. It's a little wonky because she will read it to you and if the list is large, she will ask you to continue. So if you have embarrassing things on your list... beware. Lol
Hi David, I have been following you for a short period of time, Every time I get on your site I don't want to leave, Everything is so informative and just what I need right now,
I will start managing my time better so I can hang out with you more so I can get my learning on... -:)
You are awesome!
LMAO, Siri is now calling me a shit head.
I am very happy that I had subscribe to you channel...your videos are GREAT!!!! Thank you
A really useful video. I do not use Siri that often as i find it very hit and miss where results are concerned. Watching your tips video has made me want to try it more.
This was so helpful. I have someone who just went blind. These suggestions will help! Thanks!
Just when I thought I knew everything about SIRI you found one I did not know about calling emergency services. Everyone needs to know that one, THANK YOU!
I have a simple comment for you David, you are THE BEST👏👍 and I am learning sooo much from your videos. It's a pleasure to enjoy them and hope that you'll never stop helping all of us. Thank you soooo much. Have good life🤗🤣
Always awaiting your next videos. Your style of teaching is wonderful!! I keep looking for the second part of your FCPX tutorial that you said would be out in April!! Hope that happens soon. Thanks for all you do. Your Channel is great!!
Great useful video - will try some of these out.
Really good video. Thank you so much. Greets from Arequipa, Peru.
LOVED this... Very Helpful. You are sooooooo good at what you do !
Awesome!! I use Siri all the time and for all the examples you said. (Though I need to start buying more home automation devices, but I love using it for my Nest!) Another use for Siri, if you don't want to have to go into the phone app to make a call that's not in your contacts you can say, "Siri, call (say phone number)" Its particularly good for longer 1-800 numbers!!
Thanks for your tips, I was using Siri to set alarms and that's it! Now it's opened up a whole new world!
THANKS VERY HELPFUL
I have learnt a lit through your videos David.. Thank you so much. Ireland
Thank you, David. You've overcome "Surri".
Thank you so much for these tips and tricks. I learned so much through this video!!!
Thank for sharing this information
Very Helpful. Thank You.
Brilliant🌸
Hi. Enjoy your videos,thanks for them. I use Siri all the time in my car. Also taught my Sister how to use Siri.
I loveeee it when Siri sings to me, she tries soooo hard to sing good, it’s funny, and when I ask her her fave number 😂😂😂
I'm disabled and it affects finger dexterity. I use it, if needed, to call 911, without using my hands as much. we test it with 411.
Very happy!! Thank you😇😃
Well done David, I enjoyed watching Siri tricks, I rarely use Siri
Another cracking video David. Thank you
Great top tips, cheers 👍🏽
your videos are fantastic you break it down so even a computer dummy like me can understand it. thank you so much
I love all your videos ! Thank you for the amazing work you do. I spend hours watching your classes.
David, you’re awesome! Hope you are well and staying safe during these difficult times.
All the videos you do are awesome! Keep up the fabulous work.
Mate, You are just awesome. You should do a show here in Melbourne. People will love you man.
Being reminded of something when you arrive at a location, that one is amazing!
Great tips. I love the facts that your videos are informative AND fun.
Excellent Use Of Siri Regarding 911 Call On Speaker In The Event Of An Emergency!!! Thank You So Much!!! 🙏🏻
Love your channel! Could you do a video explaining how to set up these home products. (Light bulbs for example) Do you also have to have Alexa? I still have a 5s iPhone, do I need a 7? I'd like to know more before I invest in a $50.00 bulb! Thanks!
Thank you, didn't know about Siri to text. I would always say, hey Siri...and then say the message
great video my fav use of Siri is company lol
Hey David. Great episode. Can you think of any reason I'm not getting a notification when I set a reminder? I hear no sound, receive no vibrate...nothing. I can set the reminder and forget all about it because my phone doesn't remind me. The reminder just sits in my Reminder app. Thoughts?
my favorite use for siri is showing my friends her 'easter eggs', such as, "hey, siri, when will the world end?"
Say this to Siri ‘my name is Siri’
Then tell her/him to call you Siri then look at the response XD
David, I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Often times when I watch other peoples videos I find that I already know what they are telling me. Not so with your videos! Your videos are always very well done and I appreciate that very much! Carry on sir! Happy Hollidays!!
Awesome Dude 😊 Thanks a million 😊
David - Thanks for a great little video on Siri. I have an older Iphone 6. Am I correct that I can only use Siri when it's plugged in?

Hey David, this is helpful maybe think about a more in depth gig on Siri
David, you mentioned in your show notes that there or no smart Thermostats that work with electric heat. I live in Florida and of course we use mostly AC but the unit also functions as a heater and it is electric and we have a Honeywell smart thermostat with an app on our phones to control it. If interested let me know and I will give you more details. Anyways, awesome channel, keep up the great work.
Terrific video. Just so I’m clear, if the bulb only work with Alexa command, does that mean I can’t use the Siri command.
Number 2: amazing!
Nicely expressed
I recently heard a video in which the speaker mentioned that Siri can memo transcripts and get them done for free.. Are you aware of this? This would be very interesting. Thanks
Thanks for the tips hah! my buddy had "big poppa" till i showed him LOL
I'm happy as you mention about using Siri but still don't know how to start?
Dickie Lim just say Hey Siri ....[insert any of the commands mentioned in the video]
Hey, i'm ADD also. Cool. "Hey Siri, Am i meant to be in a meeting?" is one of my favourites.
Don't wait to travel! Get a rig & help full timers with their tech issues! 😎
Wow, I really am going to use Siri more often - I already ask about the weather a lot, calling too. Launching apps not so much as I have to unlock first (I have a 7 plus so can use Hey Siri not plugged in). The emergency thing is excellent - though it can be potentially abused.
With regards to using SIRI to call for emergency assistance (911). Does the phone need to be awake or unlocked mode to activate SIRI? My phone goes into a locked mode when it has not been used for several minutes. Thank You!
I travel weekly for my job, and Siri and I have deep and entertaining conversations while I’m on the road. She’s pretty funny, and she thinks I’m awesome, so we’re pals!
Very good video, David! I use the most important text and have text read back to me. That's the one I use 99% of the time. Most in my contacts can't believe how fast I text while I'm driving. I let them wonder! 🙂 keep up the good work.
Great video! You didn’t provide instructions or links for setting up Siri to use LIFX with HomeKit(?) or IFTTT
Loved your top 11. I use many of those items listed too. Although, I'm often frustrated with Siri's limitations...or inconsistencies. Like, last week I was driving and I asked for driving directions to home. Siri replied, "I can't do that while you are in the car". What?! When else would I need it? I run into a lot of those scenarios
Next time try telling Siri. "Siri, take me home". Sometimes it's just the way you talk to her.
Love Siri for my HUE Lighting system, reminders when I get Home or office, directions to nearest store or restaurant, call so and so....on and on and on... I Siri....My Google Home is becoming competition for siri though...
Mr. David I can't get set up number 5, if you could tell me again that will help me lots it might be useful while driving.
great vid can you do a workflow one
My favorite way I use Seri is to say "Hey Seri, take me home." The only thing I had to do is tell her one time, my home address. Love it, when traveling to Canada, or anywhere in the States.
Tip: lose your phone, burglar finds it, knows where your home is and knows you aren't home. use a nearby landmark instead as "home."
He would have to unlock your phone first and also in my case for example there are 10 more apartments on my address so its kinda fine :)
MaryEllen After 60 this is how you rite siri
@Jan Čejka ... if Siri is enabled in the phone's settings, even if it's locked, all you have to do is push and hold the home button until Siri is activated, and then say "Who does this phone belong to?", and it will respond with the person's name, and it may also show any info that is associated with it (if that info was also saved to the owner's number/contact info section). The only way to stop that from happening, is to turn off Siri for when the phone is locked (it's one of the options under the Siri menu section), but Siri will still continue to work normally when unlocked. That way the person/finder/thief can still try the home button technique, but the phone will ask for the password before proceeding further.
My friend, who has Rhuematoid Arthritis, just got an iPad Air. She wants to be able to use Siri to navigate her computer because her hands are quite crippled. Could she use Siri to find sites on Safari, check her mail and send mail, change settings, etc. Also, could she use Siri to make a shopping list on Walmart for her to pick up?
Great video. Siri is catching up to Amazon's Alexa and Google Home. Or was Siri first?
Does all these Siri tips work on IMac ?... I don't have an iPhone.
THANK YOU
I know its been a year, But are Battery cases a good alternative to your iphone 6 battery drain ? My iphone 6 can be setting on my desk at work with no use and go from 100% to 15% by lunch time noon or 1:00. I have done everything except the DFU reset.
David it's funny you mention Disney world. I think at the time we took our daughter it was the same, light bulbs and such 30 years ago
Love your videos. I can't use Siri because it doesn't get my accent
The tip on using Siri to call 911 in an emergency sounds great, but on my iPhone 6 Plus, in Settings - Siri - "Allow "Hey Siri", it says "You can speak to Siri without pressing the home button by saying 'Hey Siri' when connected to power." That limitation seems unfortunate, as I usually don't charge my phone during the day. If I left the phone on the kitchen counter during the day, the feature would not be available if it were not connected to power.
I use Siri to set reminders to pay all of my bills before they come due.
Your talking is so cool. Let me know if you are coming to Srilanka. I’ll give free transportation around the country. Coz I love travelling too. When am on vacation this is what I do with my wife and daughter
Those gorgeous eyes tho!!!
I always ask Siri to check my notifications, read back my texts, and write replies. As long as you speak slowly and use common words, Siri's pretty good at getting it right.
Which generation of Lifx lightbulbs do you have? I have the Lifx color 1000 2nd generation
This is one of the most useful videos I have ever seen, if it worked. Every time I ask Siri a question it always says "I found this on the web" Even if I start asking Siri to send a message, every time I stop for breath Siri assumes that I have finished speaking and starts with ."I found this on the web" Do you know if there any way Siri can be made to listen for longer? I currently have an iPhone 7 and I’m on iOS 11.2 but I think it is because I’m from the UK, we mostly don’t speak as quickly as most Americans I’ve heard. I have a standard accent as opposed to some of the faster provincial accents. I keep trying to speed up but it makes no difference what I do. Is there any way you can help? I would be very grateful.
Jennie Sapherson Hi - I had the same problem, and found this article to be helpful: www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-talk-to-siri-the-right-way/
WOW!
Hey man, totally offtopic, but I heard you said you have ADD, so do I, but I was wondering, are you still on any meds or did you learn to cope with it somehow? I'm asking this, because I was looking at the way you were talking to the camera and you really seemed focused and your way of speaking seems to be really structured. When I tell a story I mostly just lose my train of thought halfway through, unless I'm really consciously trying to keep my focus. I'm trying to cope with it without using meds, but it's not always easy.. Always looking for tips.
Siri is really useful to *actually* turn off WiFi or Bluetooth rather than going into settings.
I have ADHD too and my X left me for this. Wish I knew earlier!!! Makes me think Siri would be the best GF ever!!
It would be great if we could print these great tips! Can we?
great practical topic. Lots of value and its a fun video too!
This was an extremely helpful video. I appreciate it very much David. Thank you.
Wish I could change Siri's name to Edith B-)
Top A1 !!!
Fantastic very helpful
If I had visual voicemail, could I access it forma iPad or a mac ?
How do I add my Friend's Birthdays to Siri ??
Hi David - I tried setting up Hey Siri but it only works if the phone is plugged in?? Kinda useless 😔
only the old iPhones. if you have SE or 6, 7, it will respond to hey siri even if its not plugged
You have beautiful eyes! 😊
how do I get the pdf for this video
