iOS 9 in practice: 17 new questions to ask Siri

Since iOS 9, different applications have been seen
improvedand boosted with new functions, such as
NotesetMail. But Siri
is not to be complained about since new requests are taken care of by
the virtual assistant from Apple. So let's take a look at these
new Siri requests, it will make him a little
of exercise:

New features and settings

First of all, you should know that since iOS 9, triggering Siri
button no longer emits the very characteristic double-note sound, but instead
simply vibrate the device. This is when using the wake-up function
voice "Hey Siri" that a sound is emitted to validate Siri's wake-up.

Also, let us point out that on the latest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, “Say
Siri” canwake up Siriwithout the smartphone having
need to beconnected to the mainsas it should have been
previously.

As a result,
new settingswere implemented with iOS 9 in order to learn how to
Siri torecognize the owner's voice only,
so as not to trigger the assistant at any timewithout the
to want. To do this, you have to go toSettings>
General>Siri>Allow “Hey Siri”, which
leads to a configuration of the function.

Now let's see what Siri version iOS 9 has new this
year !

Siri commands in iOS 9

  • Conversions: Siri supports conversions of
    currencies, but also units of measurement of mass, length and
    temperature. Example :"how much is 30 degrees Celsius in
    Fahrenheit"
  • Mathematical calculation: Siri resolves operations
    basic. You simply need to state the calculation. Example :"83 divided
    par 6"
  • Download this app: if you have heard of
    of an interesting application, like
    i-nfo.fr    and you would like to install it, just tell Siri:
    “Install (or download) the Apple Store app”, "Apple Store" at
    replace with the desired application.
  • Search the photos: Siri is able to help you
    show certain photos according to the criteria you specify, whether it is a
    location (you must have geolocation enabled), a date, an album name, etc.
    This also works of course with videos. Examples:"Siri,
    show me the photos taken in October 2015"    , or"show me the
    photos of the house    .
  • Play the album: to start playing an album
    complete of an artist, ask, for example:"plays the album Play by
    Moby"
  • Created a new list: it is possible to create
    a list in the Reminders app with the desired name, for example:
    "creates a new list called shopping"
  • Add/remove an item from the list: tell
    Siri :"in the shopping list, add (or delete) the
    apples"    . To delete, it also works if we give the position of
    the element to delete, for example:"in the shopping list,
    delete the first one"    .
  • Sports requests: Siri can give
    sports results of the latest football matches with statistics
    detailed., but also team details. It only seems to work
    for the biggest football teams. For example :"who is the
    PSG goalkeeper    , or"what is the last result of the
    PSG"    .
  • The stock price: we can obtain
    information on the stock exchange and the different markets, as well as on the
    value of certain shares. For example :"what is the course of
    bourse"    , or“what is the value of Apple stock”.
  • Remind me of that: Siri can create reminders in
    Reminders app, depending on context, with links to apps
    corresponding. For example, to remember to reply to a message
    receiving a message, say:"remind me to reply to this message
    in an hour    ". This also works when you are on an email, a page
    safari or even a note, just say:"remind me to read
    that later"    .
  • How to get to: The public transport network
    in Plans is not yet available in France. But once it is
    case, we can ask Siri for directions. Example :"how to go
    to the Gare de l’est station by metro?"
  • Find me thing: thanks to the application
    “Find my friends”, Siri can give the geolocation of
    contacts who authorized the function. Example : "find me
    papa"    , or“where is daddy”.
  • Spell the word: to have Siri spell a word in
    more to obtain the definition, say:"spell the word iPhone",
    “iPhone” to be replaced by any other word of course.
  • New emails: Siri searches in emails, depending on
    contacts and objects to display new emails arriving according to
    the chosen criteria. Example :"new emails from Jean
    ?"
  • Play me the best song: be careful, this
    question only works if you are subscribed to the Apple Music service.
    Dire :“play me the number 1 song right now”, or
    "play me the number 1 song in 1983".
  • Add the album to my playlist: once again, don't
    only works if you are subscribed to the Apple Music service. Say :
    “add Coldplay’s Yellow album to my playlist”.
  • Buy the new album: Siri can take care of
    music purchases. You simply have to tell him the artist and the album.
    Example :“buy the latest U2 album”.

So much for the new requests that Siri can respond to from iOS
9. The list is not exhaustive, so if you discover others, do not hesitate
don't put them in comments below. What must it be
tiring of being Siri…
