Another incredibly useful video for this old senior. You speak as though you and I are having a conversation and that is very soothing. Thank you for helping me with my phone.

[@sowhitney]

me: * trying these * siri: here’s what i found in the web

[@i1DERProductions]

You can also just say “Hey Siri I parked my car here” for those rare folks with a car from the 80s with a fried radio wiring harness in a retired squad car.

[@ProperHonestTech]

Thanks for that - I had thought there must be a phrase to let Siri know, but hadn't actually tried it, I'll give this a go next time I'm out!

[@dottiedavis355]

This also works for just saving a location for later reference.

[@i1DERProductions]

@@ProperHonestTech Yup, I was bored one day and decided to keep trying phrases just for fun and poof. Using "Hey Siri, where's my car" or similar can be wonky if you press the arrow sign to be directed to parked car marker when at a store. Especially if you are parked very close to the entrance. One time, at Walmart, I was directed to walk to the road, around to the gas station on the Walmart lot then around to the back of Walmart Car service then finally to the car. Hilarious! /shrug

I think there are a lot of commands that people just don’t always think about, this has been a great video to see what Siri can do but also think of new ways on our own as well.

[@Arsalan_2210]

I really like the way you talk about stuff and make everything look so easy❤️I have subscribed to your channel and asked my friends and family to do so as well. The way you explain stuff is very soothing and simple to grasp. I also love the way you categorised your video into multiple chapters. Love the attention to detail & the time and effort you put into making such videos is very much appreciated. Love your videos ❤️take care, have a nice day my friend!

The “what does this sound like” will be really fun for me and my grandchildren. We are always learning together🥰🥰 This tip encouraged me to follow you, I often listen to different videos about iphone hacks and I haven’t heard anyone else share this tip

[@JimmyWatches2102]

I just found your channel this morning and I’m really excited to put some of what I’m learning to use. You might mention that KZbin can slow the playback of videos so old folks like me can more easily follow along with the steps you show to enable different features. Maybe you’ve already shown how, but creating and then reading a transcript of portions of your videos would help us to take a step at a time. Also, the shared Reminders shopping list apparently has to be a list in iCloud? I couldn’t get it to share otherwise. So much more to learn at 77 years old. Lol. Thank you for what you do!

[@KarenCurr]

Thank you for your video! I saw your other video about a year ago when I first got my iPhone 2020, and learned what I can use Siri for. Since then she has become "my best friend." (Hubby is jealous since I'm always asking her things that I used to ask him- lol) While I can't use the parking-car aid, I did like the other fun tips like flipping a coin etc., but so VERY useful is the one where I can make/add to a shopping list. If I'm in the middle of cooking it's so much easier to ask Siri to add something to the list rather than stop, wash my hands, then do it manually.

[@mrdavidhull1]

As a outdoor enthusiast sometimes you hear sounds in the Woods that you’re not for sure what it was I find this helpful once I’m back at my vehicle l use Siri to help me identify the sound so I can know what animal made the noise

[@harrisontu264]

Hope you’re doing well in this trouble time. Prayers to your country. As far as using it to improve English, this is actually a really good video to do it because he has very very proper BBC British pronunciation, as far as I can tell. It’s definitely what we Americans think of as classically British

[@ProperHonestTech]

Amazing, I'm glad that the videos can help in both ways! Hope that you're keeping safe.

[@ProperHonestTech]

As far as my accent goes - it's a pretty 'neutral' accent, as far as British accents go, although I do have a slight northern twang, as most of my family are from the north (while I've lived down south for the past 10 years). I've done a lot of voice over work over the past 5 years, and I used to get selected most often for jobs that required a non-regional British accent.

I like it because, it’s is very entertaining for the kids while they on a long ride in the car. They wanted a shake from Mc D’s, I told them it had to much sugar and to many calories. They said it didn’t and asked Siri, they got milkshakes of course.🤣

Hi from Sénégal the last tip is awesome thank you so much I had no idea.... 😊

[@jeremyhelquist]

I use Siri for volume. If you have AirPods you probably know about it, but it’s more than turn up/down. ‘What’s the volume?’ And she will give your current percentage. So I learned the percentage level I enjoy and can say ‘increase/decrease volume to 70%’ For those in colder/windy climates you can ask ‘what is the windchill?’ instead of temperature. Helpful, especially in Fall/Winter.

[@FemaleVillageElder]

Exceedingly much enjoy your Siri videos. No one else has done these anywhere recently and Siri is a lot more capable than some of the older videos that mention her abilities. And Siri is very helpful, especially to those of us who don’t want to take the time to look something up or whose hands are busy. In my case I have nerve damage to my fingers and it’s very helpful to decrease the amount of times I have to tap on the surface when I can use my voice instead. Do you know any short cut workarounds as to how to get Siri to search your photos like it used to do? I don’t know why Apple remove that function but any workarounds that get Siri to do it instead of having to use the search function will it be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

[@lakesidegirl3149]

Hiya! I hike in the woods a lot and hear sounds that I’m trying to identify… that last tip about what things sound like is really useful when trying to distinguish sounds I kind of know but am not sure about… and I would suggest that it would also come in handy playing with toddlers 😁

Haha We get some strange animal sounds out here. But, I used this one time because I was working on Must The Winter Come So Soon from the opera Vanessa. Samuel Barber was brilliant for every note, marking, having a well thought out reason. So, wondered why he chose a G to a D. So, spent a looong time and drove my sons crazy listening to every owl sound I could find. Didn't quite get it. But, Great White Northern, I think, was closest. I'm sure that's just what sweet Siri had in mind.

I just found your channel and love it! I've already been sooo informed! I'm wondering if you could help me with moving apps around. I used to be an Android user and it's so easy to put your apps anywhere you want them. IPhone on the other hand is miserable and extremely frustrating! You move one app and the whole page/pages go crazy...it can take me hours to move things back to where I want them. Any help would be so very appreciated! Iam now a subscriber and will enjoy getting caught up on more of your wonderful tips. Thank you again and may God Bless You!

[@segovia1894]

You can show a transcript of the detailed instructions in videos like this by tapping the downward arrow alongside the video heading. This should bring up the description panel beside the viewing window at the bottom of which is a panel saying “show transcript”. Tap this and a transcript of the dialogue will come up and you can locate the description you want and follow it along in your own time! Note that the transcript panel is not available on ALL videos.

[@mind_money_morphology]

The last tip is SUPER helpful... Imagine this: Every day a lovely sound of bird song wakes you from bed, an orange and black bird... You know only a handful of orange and black birds can be found in your region, therefore you can easily find that bird and bird song. Perfect if you wanted to tell a friend halfway across the world what it sounds like when you wake up. Just one cool use
