I don't use many Siri commands but a few come in handy:
- "add milk to grocery list" — I have a reminder list called "Grocery" to make that happen. Makes it easy to add stuff as I realize I'm running low, then I can check it off in the Reminders app.
- "create appointment next {day} at {time} {title}" — I never use that one when I'm next to my computer, but when I'm around the house or after a doctor visit, it's usually accurate.
- "what time is it" — no I don't wear a watch. But when I'm hiking and I'm too lazy to pull my phone out, this comes in handy as it works though most pockets.
- "send text message to {person}", "call {person}" — when driving, that's a pretty seamless way to convey quick messages without touching the phone.
- "get directions to {place}" — I only use that for locations I know the phone will understand, like favorites or business names that are not ambiguous.
- ahnick 7y agoWhat I really like about Siri is the geofencing capability. "Siri, remind me when I get home to text Daniel" (or something of that nature) This way the reminder is not tied to a particular time, but instead tied to a location that is more relevant or convenient to carry out the task.
- justwalt 7y agoWhere are reminders like this stored? If you wanted to cancel that before you got home, would you have to use Siri again to do it?
- ahnick 7y agoJust in the normal reminders app. You can ask Siri to delete the reminder or just mark it off in the reminders app itself.
- ralfd 7y agoI should start using that! How does Siri know what home is?
