10 Things You Probably Didn’t Realize Siri Could Do

Siri is one of the most popular virtual assistants. This intelligent personal assistant is available on Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Siri is capable of doing a variety of things like setting reminders, sending messages, and making calls, but there are many other unique functions that you might be surprised to know.

Here are ten things you probably didn’t realize Siri could do:

1. Pronounce names correctly

Siri has a feature that helps you pronounce names correctly. When you ask Siri to pronounce a name, you can choose the correct pronunciation from a list of options.

2. Translate languages

Siri can translate between many languages. Just ask Siri to translate a phrase, and it will do the rest.

3. Play music

Siri can play music from your phone or from the streaming service you have linked to your device. You can also ask Siri to play specific songs, playlists or genres.

4. Set alarms and reminders

Scheduling appointments and reminders is easy with Siri. Just tell Siri what you want to do, and it will create a reminder or alarm for you.

5. Identify music

If you ever hear a song on the radio, but you don’t know the name, you can ask Siri to identify it for you. Just say, “Hey Siri, what song is this?” and Siri will respond with the title and artist.

6. Calculate tip and split costs

Siri can also help you divide up the bill after a meal. Just ask Siri to calculate the tip or divide the total by the number of people, and it will provide quick answers.

7. Find photos

Siri can find photos on your device based on location or time. For example, you can ask Siri to show you pictures from your vacation two years ago in Italy, and Siri will bring them up.

8. Search the web

Siri can help you search the web using Google or another search engine. It will read out the search results, and you can choose the most relevant answer.

9. Send payments

If you have Apple Pay set up on your device, you can ask Siri to send money to someone. Just command Siri to send a payment to a specific person, and enter the amount.

10. Set timers

Siri can set timers for you. Just ask Siri to set a timer for a specific amount of time, and it will do so.

In summary, Siri has many capabilities that you probably didn’t know about. It can do a lot more than just call or send messages. Siri can help you do a range of things from sending payments, to pronouncing or translating languages. With the help of Siri, you can perform tasks quickly and efficiently.

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
