I’ve made quite a bit of content about Siri here on the channel, and I’m very aware that it lags behind a lot of the voice assistant competition, especially as AI is starting to become more widely adopted, but for better or worse, Siri is the tool that over 1.3 billion of us have access to, so we might as well try and get the most out of it.

Please make a video on iCloud Backup. This is quite confusing for some people including me sometimes.

Another useful feature of Siri when your hands are busy & your phone is ringing at a distance, you can say :
“hey Siri answer the call on speakerphone”
Very handy !!

I think one reason these videos are so useful is because you model exactly how to make a specific request. I find that unless I know the words to use, I get bogged down. I often think it’s the panic that comes from knowing some entity is waiting for a clear request. May be an odd reaction, but I wonder if others experience it too!

I have to say I truly appreciate your videos. Not only for the clear teaching manner you have about them, but man - the professional look and editing. Extremely well done videos with effects, transitions, synced up videos… Impressive.

I use Siri quite a lot and find her quite helpful most of the time. All the tips to use Siri I got from this channel or I would not have known! I always use Siri to turn on/off my torch with the command “Lumos “/“Nox” - from Harry Potter 😊 Again PHT told me this command. Love this channel 💜

[bluehannah]

This was so good. I barely use Siri because in the past it was so limited. Now I’m really gonna try to start using it again. Thank you so much.

Your videos are always very informative! Sometimes you give me new ideas about how to get better use of the little tricks for my IPhone. I also love your style - as if you were sharing it with a friend ❤ Thanks for all you do to make our lives a little less frustrating 😅

[willhandy]

Thanks. I didn’t know most of these. I rarely use Siri, not because I dislike the assistant, but because I’ve never gotten around to learning it. I’m likely to actually use some of these!

I love the password one. I know it’s a first world problem but I find it tedious making my way to passwords the traditional way 👍🏽

[InspiredInsightsU]

One thing I find helpful, especially having multiple Apple devices is the ability to put the phone face down and Siri will not respond on this device that works so that I can use Siri on my iPad. For example or so many other Apple devices are on my home just a helpful to know when you might have to make a change in your settings to make it work if it doesn’t work for me Attley.

The email search is the best for me! I wish I saw this video two days ago! I was searching for a specific email, and iPhone does not have the search option….now I know it does! Awesome

Once again another brilliant Siri video. These are just so very helpful. I use Siri for just about all my queries all day every day, and yet again, you have surprised me with functionality that I was unaware of. Thank you so much for the Siri videos.. I’m really hoping that Apple will absolutely deliver with new Siri features. Siri doesn’t have to be chat GPT, but she could be so much better. Siri ought to know everything on your device and be able to help you with it all.

A VERY helpful video! The tips about passwords & the Tip function on the Watch Calculator app are brilliant. Thanks so much!

[CherylsCreativeWorld]

Brilliant! I actually didn’t know any of this. My VPN finishes in December and I’m definitely swapping over, so thank you for that!

Great Siri video! I use many of the things you mentioned that Siri can do often. There were a couple of things I didn’t know but will start using them. I didn’t know that Siri will pronounce words when asked. There is a music instrument in the Bible I didn’t know the correct pronunciation of it. I asked Siri and it gave me the British pronunciation and also the American pronunciation. Kudos to Siri! Thanks

[patriciaenglish]

I’m so glad you don’t rush what you are saying so that I can follow! Good videos

[quadimus]

Thank you.
Very thorough and easy to understand.
Could you do a video on how to transfer data to a new apple device from an old one?
Like an Ipad for example.

I love the “tip” feature on my watch. Use it every time I eat out haha

[francescomarrone]

Hi! I love that link to the Private Internet package. What do you recommend? Both IP & VPN?
