A LOT of people telling me that Lumos and Nox doesn't work for them... Apparently, if you change your phone's region to United Kingdom, it will work (you could of course set it right back after). Give it a try if this tip isn't working for you.

As someone who is made many computer training videos and a harsh critic of many who do, I’d really like to thank you for doing a well thought out, clearly, concise and well paced presentation. The contact is excellent too!👍

[BastardSquad]

Setting the benchmark for presentation, clarity and content for all other YouTubers. Nice one.

I appreciate the way you described each feature without actually activating Siri. I wish people that did videos about Alexa’s features would follow the same protocol.

[meeluanistyn]

That’s an excellent video. Well-structured, clear, not rushed and to the point. I thought I had a reasonable grasp of Siri … clearly I didn’t.

[jchunnicutt]

Thank you for speaking slowly enough for us beginners to keep up. Great info to know.

[emmanueltrejo]

Like this type of content for the features directed more towards accessibility, not a lot of big tech YouTubers do that. Props!

[Boobtube.]

"hey Siri, remember where I parked my car"... than "hey Siri, where did I park my car?"

[eileenshea]

This video is life-changing for me. I have shared it with all my low vision friends. Thank you so very much.

When doing a task and I have something else to do in 36 mins, I just ask Siri to set a timer for 36 minutes and then I can focus on the task at hand. Also when following a recipe and I need the measurements in grams instead of ounces I simply ask Siri to convert the amount while my hands are full.

[Bimluva]

I’m sure I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I find your video very useful and I enjoy them. They’ve really helped to make my devices more productive and practical. Great job!!!

[tjwash]

Hey Siri. Tell this guy this is such a great video. My therapist told me I need to develop better communication skills, this has helped so much! Thank you, I started using these immediately.

A siri command I use often is "remind me at work to do whatever I need to do" so when I arrive at work I get a reminder to do what I told siri. Very useful for me.

Siri is greatly underused and yet it’s so versatile. One of my favourite uses is to ask “Siri what movies are showing at the moment” to check the local showtimes and get a rundown of movie options and even provides and plays the film trailers instantly. Tip: If you have misplaced your board game dice. “Siri roll a dice” and get the result as if you had rolled the dice yourself. Works for coin flipping also “Siri flip a coin”.

First of all, I appreciate Siri more than I have in the past. Thanks for that. Secondly, Lumos and Nox will be getting a lot of use from me for a long time.

[SYRSALLY]

I just found your channel and after listening I quickly subscribed. Reason being being is you take your time and don’t rush through. So much better to slow down so we can understand. Thank you.

[javtimestwo]

Another outstanding video. Great job with the delivery and bonus for includes chapters.
I used to ignore Siri but have realized how valuable Siri is and how easy it is to use. Mostly I use Siri to get sports scores, weather updates and occasionally set up reminders.

[leumas]

Since I have “cut the wire” and am using YouTubeTV on my AppleTV, I can simply say “Hey Siri, pause the TV, ” or if I’m refilling a drink in the kitchen and have missed something I can say “Hey Siri, jump back 30 seconds on the TV” and it does so. Quite an awesome hands free tip.

[tinas]

Thank you; information delivered in a concise, clear and useable manner. You are awesome and the content is so relevant for apple techies.

I like the bill idea and percentages, I have used Siri for the song name for a long time I love that feature. Siri does tons of other things too. I’m sure tutorials are out there. I think sending texts is a huge one for those who don’t like to type like some senior citizens who can’t see well and Siri will read the reply texts back too, this feature has been around for a long time. Always love seeing new features or tricks
