If you're doing more than one interaction, you can just hold the home button to activate Siri for followups. And you don't need to prefix 'hey siri' if you're activating Siri via home button or screen button.
I've seen so many people prefix 'Hey siri' when they don't really need to:
Holds home, Siri activates "Hey Siri, how's the weather?"
If could just be "How's the weather?" In that instance.
- cjsawyer 9y agoI shouldn’t need to click a button to effectively interact with my -voice- assistant :)
- danso 9y agoBut it seems a reasonable interface concession given the relative infrequency of multi-query conversations, plus the huge undesirability of having Siri AI figure out (I.e. continue listening and sending data to Apple's servers) for itself whether the conversation has actually ended. Also, for many conversations, you'll be needing to look at the phone anyway (i.e. have it in your hand) to see Siri's answers.
- sinnoh 9y agoWhen one person makes a concession it's good business. When millions of users make a concession it's bad design.
- tambourine_man 9y agoI wonder how that works on the iPhone X
- philo23 9y agoThe sleep/wake button on the right hand side of the device now triggers Siri when you hold it down for long enough.
- Gaelan 9y agoThen how do your turn the thing off?
- evilduck 9y agoDepends on what you need. You can now reboot from Settings in iOS11 if the device is responsive and unlocked. If it's locked or you just want to properly shutdown quickly, press and hold a volume button and the lock button to bring up the SOS mode, which includes the shut down slider. If the device is unresponsive, it's much less obvious now: https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/force-restart-iphone-x-when-its-acting-up-0180016/ https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/force-restart-iphone-x-wh... Volume up, then down, then press and hold the lock button.
- moftz 9y agoProbably hold it down even longer.
- omarforgotpwd 9y agoThey added shut down and reboot to the settings app in iOS 11.
- UnoriginalGuy 9y ago> you can just hold the home button to activate Siri for followups Unhelpful while I am driving... A voice assistant that requires physical controls massively reduces its utility and core purpose.
- adamlett 9y ago“Requires”?
- UnoriginalGuy 9y agoIf this is the only designed in way to make multiple queries without saying "Hey Siri" repeatedly, then it is required for that operation. You literally have people above calling this the "solution" to the issue raised. It is like Schrödinger's UI design. It is both being claimed as the solution to the problem being raised while at the same time being called entirely optional. Sounds to me like there is no actual solution, and this is a bandaid.
- mattkrause 9y agoIt'll do multi-part queries without pressing the button (or saying "Hey Siri") between each part. On the other hand, if you want to check the weather AND set an alarm, you need to activate Siri twice.
