In practice iOS 10: Siri can indicate who is calling by announcing their name, settings

iOS 10 is full of new features, some
very aesthetic, like the effects and
iMessage stickers
, others very practical, like the new features of
l’appPhotos
or even
small additions sprinkled here and there in the system
.

One of these additions can be very useful, but is hidden in the settings
of the device. It's about powermake Siri say the name of the
contact when receiving a phone call
:

To take advantage of it, you must go toSettings > Phone >
Announcement of calls
. Here, you have to choose when you prefer Siri to announce
contact out loud.


4 options are offered:

  • Never :default setting
  • always :always announces, whether with or without
    headphones plugged in or connected and connected or not to a Bluetooth system of a
    car
  • headphones and car:announces only when headphones
    plugged in or connected via Bluetooth or when connected to a Bluetooth system
    of a car
  • headphones only:announces only when headphones
    plugged in or connected via Bluetooth

This allows, for example, while driving a car, during a call, to know
who calls without needing to look at the screen.

Same during a run, phone in pocket and headphones
in the ears, Siri canannounce the name of the correspondent
and we know who we are dealing with without having to take out the phone
from the pocket.

This way it becomes easy tosort through calls
important
not to be missed and those whocan wait for
moment
.
