Rich, you are a great teacher for someone who knows alttle about ipads. But some of us don't even know how to turn one on, where to tap screen to get what we need. We baby beginners need baby steps.

While I have disabled ”hey Siri” due having a family member named Sarah (it was triggering when I talked with her), one of my favorite ‘assists’ from my phone is:
[hold power button to trigger Siri]
Say “Set reminder (day time) for (item/task to remember)
A reminder will be created and then a notification will occur on that day at the appropriate time.

This is especially useful when driving and phone is connected to car, as that seems to be when I think of stuff I need to take care of.

Thanks for this one, I have always used Siri, but on a limited basis.

I am fairly literate when it comes to using the iPhone and iPad, I still learn some useful things though watching your videos. I think you missed something though when it came to sending the text and photo. You do not have to press the send button when Siri asks whether you want to send them. You just say send, this is particularly useful when using CarPlay. A video on CarPlay would be good as I am sure I would learn something. Being British, I appreciate that Siri recognises the way we correctly use the King”s English rather than having to use the colonial pronunciation. 😂 The King of course would say what do I have on my diary today? Which Siri recognises. His diary was particularly full yesterday! 😂

This is just amazing. Please publish a guide book on all the fantastic tips you are showing. And I will be happy to purchase it .They are amazing and I had no idea of how to use "Siri" like the way you showed with actual demo ( demo makes it much easier to follow) . Extremely useful and I learnt a lot . Thank you 🙏

Another very useful tutorial! Thanks so much Rich! It's amazing that I probably know more about my I phone than my wife and that's saying something! All thanks to you!

Hi Rich,
This video opened my mind on how to use Siri for many more applications than I was using. Loved the send photo application. Thanks as always. Kindness, Teresa

Hi Rich. Absolutely love your videos and being 75 I don’t know that much about the iPhone but love what I do know and that’s thanks to you.

I love all the ways you highlighted for using Siri. I have only been asking Siri to set timers when I am baking and when I wake up in the morning, asking for the current temperature.
