iOS Users, What You Don't Know About Siri

Some of us that uses iOS devices never really know that you have an intelligent personal assistant better and smarter than your secretary. It is called Siri.

Siri allow you to do variety of task on your device only by talking to it. You only need to speak to it in your normal voice – as when talking to another human – to get the personal assistant to do what you need.

Siri works straight out of the box without you needing to teach it what to do. You can ask it to make calls, send text messages, find directions, search for information, play a song and set a reminder, amongst others.

After you've started a dialogue with Siri, tap the microphone icon to talk to it again.
