After leaving the dark abyss of Android I ventured into Apple world 6 months ago. You have been my go to guy since then. Concise and to the point. Oh. And understandable. I don’t have to stretch my weak comprehension skill to learn from you. Thanks so much !!

I wish Siri would do things without having to unlock phone every time. Like when I’m driving and the phone is on the phone holder. I say hey siri text so and so, or look something up and she says “unlock phone”. Btw love your videos!! You go at just the right speed for understanding! I’m on 16.2 iphone8+.

You're a world-class communicator. The info you are presenting is begging for you to finally say, "and Bob's your uncle." Why don't you?? Why? 😂Please do! You'll make my day. 😂😁🙏🏼 Gratitude from the USA! You and yours are invited to our Homestead for dinner. 🌞Bravo for your channel. Subscribed. 👏

I'm an Apple fan and I knew most of these but I actually didn't know about the "What Can I Do Here?" that's actually pretty cool in my opinion! 👍🏻

[cmacmenow]

Super handy tips, as always!
Any chance of covering "Accessibility" and more specifically "Voice Control."
I have been using it in the gym and it's just magical!

That Restart iPhone feature is a game-changer for me! Too often would I turn off my phone with the intent to turn it back on, but for whatever reason, I get distracted easily and wonder 15 minutes later, "Man, my phone's been quiet" and sure enough it's still off in my pocket or left somewhere in my house

Cheers, mate. Was a good one. Never hesitate with Siri related videos.

Thank you for sharing these useful new updates! By the way, you can find out the name of an Emoji by typing it somewhere (Notes, Mail, Pages, etc.), and then highlight the emoji and from the pop-up menu, choose “Speak”. Siri will read the name of the Emoji out loud.

A few days ago I found your channel and have learned so much about my phone that I never knew. I’m a senior and love Apple products so knowing how to navigate is wonderful. Thank you.

1:41 bruhh when he called my phones alarm went off!

[scottdoremus]

4:11 probably an unknown setting somewhere but, Siri responds to “Restart my iPhone” with, “Sorry, I can’t do that here”. Tried multiple states of “here”. Same response.

This guy is extremely helpful! I have had Apple for over 8 years now and I’m very inclined towards technology and I thought I knew everything with Siri but this guy showed me more than a couple of new things! I’ve subscribed after the first video that I watched. I recommend for everyone to do so!

[GozoAya]

Brilliant!! These tips eliminate a number of barriers I had with Siri. Time to re-engage!!

I was ask the Siri every time like “hey siri power off the iPad”

[FemaleVillageElder]

Siri tips are my favorite set of videos that you do. As a woman of advanced years, I use Siri a lot, and I have always wished that Apple would put out a continuingly updated set of functions that they have given to Siri, or, as is frequently the case, that they have taken away from Siri. I spent several days searching Apple-centric forums, trying to find out if Apple had actually taken away the feature where Siri could search photos by objects or dates, etc. I finally found somewhere that said that that feature was taken away. After I had spent quite a while looking, because it was a feature that I used very frequently with my over 10, 000 photos. Please keep the Siri updates going whenever they come out which admittedly is not often enough. Thanks a lot! 0:06

Excellent presentation - thanks. Appreciate your down-to-earth delivery, and I'm enjoying learning "new stuff". I've already used some of your great tips. Looking forward to picking up more, PHT. There should be an emoji for that acronym.

The contextual relationships tip is GOLD. Thanks!

[onigiri]

Thanks for the tip about the relationships. I often use Siri to send messages when i'm driving or walking around with my AirPods, it will make things infinitely easier !

[bridget]

OMG. Just today my phone got stuck and I couldn’t send out messages and the touch wasn’t working so I was just trying to reset it and the buttons on the side didn’t work either so I told Siri to do it. Worked like a charm.
