Everyone knows Siri can set timer or alarm, add a reminder, start a phone call or send a text, or do simple math calculations. But Siri can do so much more!
Apple keeps improving Siri year after year, so if you've gotten in the habit of only using it for a few select things because of your experiences a couple of years ago, you may be surprised by all the things Siri can do quite well today. Give these features a shot, and you may find yourself using Apple's voice assistant a lot more often.
Looking for funny and silly things with less practical use? We have a huge list of fun things to ask Siri (fave.co/31Xwvzq).
1. BE MORE SPECIFIC
A lot of the basic things you use Siri for today can be modified when you make a more specific Siri request. For example, you can make a call on speakerphone by saying, Call [name] on speaker, or shuffle your music by saying, Play [playlist, artist, or album] on shuffle. Or ask for walking or transit directions specifically if you're not driving. You'd be surprised how many common tasks can be tweaked in useful ways.
2. ASK FOR A PASSWORD
Your iPhone does a great job of auto-filling logins and passwords that are stored on the device, but what do you do when you need that password on another device? You can ask Siri for a password (e.g. What's my Reddit password?) and your iPhone will authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID, and open Settings > Passwords directly to the entry for that site. This is especially helpful if you have a note stored on the password for things like challenge questions.
