Love your tips mate , but just wondering if there is a way to get Siri to turn off the screen without shutting down ? I have tried it sometime in the past and got the response “ I can’t do that “ from Siri . I know the iPhone will turn off on its own in X amount of time , but if you turn your iPhone on and off a lot , it’s handy to save some battery by turning the screen off immediately with a voice command if you are busy. Cheers.

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

In what context would you want numbers read out like that though? Surely more often than not, people using Siri are going to be wanting to hear the actual number (using it for a mathematical sum, to split a bill, to convert currency etc), and not a sequence of individual numbers? I'm not disagreeing with you btw, genuinely interested as to why you'd prefer numbers to be read out as a sequence.

You can only have one timer. However, If you use the term alarm… Check out below: Set my lasagna alarm for 50 minutes Set my garlic bread alarm for 15 minutes It will create named alarms that will expire that far in the future. Helpful if you are making a large meal. The only downside is that it creates each of these is a named alarm and they can stack up. But you can ask Siri to delete alarms.

So I must ask, how do you turn off Siri’s verification of my out going calls? When I say, Hey Siri call my sister, Siri says, “Just to confirm, you want to call ‘fname’ / ‘lname’. Siri doesn’t do this 100% of the time but it has to be at least 95% of the time. It drives me crazy that I have to confirm. She just needs to announce who she is calling and if she gets it wrong, I hang up and try again. BTW, Siri has NEVER misdialed a spoken name for me.
