Practical iOS 7: what's new with Siri?

AndiOS 7sports a design
new that you can't miss, other new products are much more
discreet.

Among these, Siri, the favorite assistant of iPhone owners, was
equipped with new superpowers to make our lives ever better
easy. Access to settings, web search and more, Siri becomes
this time a real well of knowledge to consult as often as
possible !

Discovering what more you can ask of Siri
:

A brand new interface

Before we go any further, let's take a moment to dwell on the new
Siri design. As can be seen in the image below, Siri has suffered a
serious facelift. To be in line with the new look of iOS, the assistant
virtual now displays a transparent interface. The button
allowing you to activate the microphone has also been simplified. Therefore, for good
show that Siri is listening, the little purple bar that was moving in the microphone
left room for an elegant wave that undulates in the care of the voice.

Siri or Siri(e) ?

Write an article on the new features of Siri without mentioning the possibility of
changing your voice would be a shame. Indeed, from now on, Apple's assistant
can be used in both masculine and feminine forms, it's up to you!
To do this, a quick trip to Settings > General > Siri > Voice should
suffice.

Access settings

Now Siri can access certain settings. Just tell him
ask. Here are the services that the assistant can provide you:

enable/disable Bluetooth
enable/disable WiFi
activate/deactivate airplane mode or Do not disturb
adjust the brightness

But Siri can go further andtake you directly into the
settings. So try asking him toaccess the settings
from SIri for example.

A well of knowledge

Now, Siri has it in her head and can answer many questions
by searching for the answer on Wikipedia, but also on Bing or on
Twitter. The big new thing is that instead of switching to Safari or a
application, Siri simply offers the answer in its own
interface.

Very practical new features and sometimes less

Among Siri's new abilities, for example, there is the possibility
to check their voicemail. Siri can also flip a coin and even
roll a die. Again, just ask him!

To finish…

Despite its new features, Siri has retained its pranks that we will continue to
enjoy discovering a little more every day.

Obviously, it is possible to ask much more from SIri but this article
