New in iOS 9: What more can I ask Siri

Siri is a very handy and wayward assistant.be useful and quick-witted, but limitations

Understanding the context and peculiarities of your speech is sometimes harmed.Apple has tried to improve both of these aspects with new Siri settings and a feature with proactivity.Let's see how Siri has changed in iOS 9.

New Siri teams in iOS 9

Contextual Issues

Perhaps one of the most important improvements to Siri isnew ability to understand the meaning of your phrase depending on your recent activities or the application you are in. For example, when you're in a new place, go to the Maps app and say “Remind me about this place”.

You can also ask Siri to remind yousomething in the car or upon arriving at work. Siri knows when you get into your car if your Bluetooth connection is turned on, and when you arrive at work based on saved locations. What's more, if you have an important email in the Mail app, you can ask Siri to remind you about it. Siri will understand that “about him” is relevant to the email you are reading and will create a reminder with a link. Such commands make it much more useful and productive.

And if you have an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, you canuse the cool new phrase “Hey Siri”, which allows you to call the assistant without the Home button. This control looks very impressive and futuristic - exactly the effect that Apple wanted to achieve.

Improved Sports Summary

Siri could always tell about the score in the match. But in iOS 9, it is able to give much more details, including the goal author, how much the game is already running, and even the time until the end of the quarter.

Search for photos

iPhone is the only one for manyphoto device, which means that heaps of photos can be stored on it. You can always search for them manually, but for this you need time and know where to look. Another way is to contact Siri.

In iOS 9, Siri is able to searchspecific places, times, albums, etc. I needed to see all of today's photos, and I asked Siri to show them. She opened an album in which these same photos were selected. These were mostly screenshots, but nonetheless.

How about finding your best selfie? Tell Siri “Show me my selfies,” and she will open the folder containing those photos.

Similar teams can be invented for almost everything related to photography. Did you take photos in London? Politely ask Siri and she will show you a photo from Big Ben and everyone else.

Search for friends and relatives

Quite an alarming feature.I can't imagine a situation in which I would give my location to anyone other than emergency services. Nevertheless, such a function exists and can be used to find your family or friends on the map. Once you've added the person to the appropriate app (Find My Friends), ask Siri to find them. Just, “Find mom”. Siri will open a friend search and the result of your request will appear on the map.

Quickly convert quantities and solve math problems

Instead of showing the answer from WolframAlpha, Siri will show and speak it independently. This is great because you don't even have to look at your phone screen. If you want to know how many ounces are in a pint, say “Hey Siri” and ask her without looking up from preparing dinner. (Unfortunately, this function does not yet work in Russian)

In general, Siri has become much smarter, faster andbetter than before. She can answer more specific questions like “Will it rain in an hour?” or “What are my plans for the evening?”. Route planning has also been added to her asset.
