TOP 10 Siri Commands for Memory Loss, Dementia, Early-Stage Alzheimer’s

[@user-hb1wm4hi6y]

Thank you for providing this very important video and free PDF. I have been following you for a long time, and you have the most informative tech videos on KZbin. Also, your presentation skills and speaking voice is great -- you should be on TV, especially with your beautiful eyes ;-) Love your Pride flag too! Visibility is important.

[@drdel76]

David, I believe you have just presented us with a new and important genre of KZbin technical instruction with tremendous potential. Today’s smart devices are capable not only of enriching our lives, but of saving them. Respect to experts like yourself who are willing selflessly to show us how. Thank you.

[@glendawolfer151]

As a senior who loves tech, memory has become an issue. So this video is so important not only for myself as well as members in our family who live miles away. So thanks for your time and concern. Glenda Wolfer

[@funcarsnow5973]

Thank you! We're at the beginning of serious memory loss and your presentation is brilliant! I doubt you'll see this but I'm thanking you anyway...

[@FemaleVillageElder]

I just found this channel and although I am a frequent Siri user that was actually a tip on here that I didn’t know. As I am getting up in years myself and sometimes forget about my medicines the ability to take a picture of the correct medicine to add to my reminder is pretty awesome. Please continue to make Siri videos whenever new features calm especially those that benefit the elderly. I am programming my device now to do all the stuff that I hope not to forget but May. Thanks again. You have a new subscriber.

[@suzzzig]

Thank you David. We lost my mom in July and my dad is by himself. He called me and told me my uncle, who is also by himself, had fallen and it took him three hours to get to the phone to call for help. My dad resents the "I have fallen and can't get up," and doesn't want that type of an alert product. He has an IPhone and loves Siri. He knows how to use, "hey Siri," but has not set up find my, nor realized Siri could help him with this. This is huge and so appreciate the avenue for help for both of us without emphasizing negatively his aging. Thanks again!!

[@marcikr53]

I am continually amazed at your ability to communicate the how’s, why’s and when’s of Apple technology. I am so grateful.

[@tommacbride3654]

Wonderful! These could be life saving!! I am going to pass this around, hope it’s contagious. Cheers!

[@lauriescherrer4450]

Thank you! As a person living with dementia and an Apple user I really appreciate these tips. I THOUGHT I knew how to use Siri, but you taught me that in reality I knew very little. Your tips will be extremely useful.

[@jackiputnam9207]

I have Alzheimer’s and this helped me so much!!! Thank you ❤

[@lpmorrow]

Once again, David, I owe you thanks, and will be sharing this widely. A close family member was Dx'd w/ Alzheimer's 15 years ago. Had this technology and - equally important! - your clear explanation how to use it been available, it would've saved us much worry and pain. You've saved lives with this.

[@vlad.vision]

Fantastic video David! All of these commands are very useful, loved #1! These are the type of things I think more users should be more comfortable using! Great demo, I too have a family member who could greatly benefit from this. Thank you!

[@AnnieGill7]

Thanks so much. I am a home care Physical Therapist, who travels to people’s homes, to help get them better. This may prove invaluable at some point in the future, thank you so much sir!! 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Always love watching your flawless delivery and inject them with your great sense of humor.

[@hellerjerry]

i did fall outside on street and Siri knew immediately....so that feature works perfectly

[@khill50able]

Well done David. Many of us nowadays could use many of these tricks.

[@Teresa-K]

Very important and necessary tips! Thanks for bringing this information to KZbin.

[@fastbobby504]

Could be one of the most useful and thoughtful KZbin videos I've ever watched! Thank you!

[@PlantLover111]

Very helpful!!! I’m in the early stages of Dementia. I’m going to try to start using these features.

[@Lutzboater]

Excellent video. Somewhere this info is going to save someones life. Thanks for sharing it.

[@cat6898]

Outstanding, so useful to share with people in our lives...thank you

[@EloizaClaire]

I need to remember to tell David, that he is v. funny. And that I laugh a lot watching him.Therefore, that helps me to remember what he taught me. Thank you very much David.

[@tkcromwell]

David, you have such a great manner in front of the camera. Great balance of information and humor, paced nicely. Thank you so much for doing all you do!

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

This is an incredible video to help many of my elder relatives and myself. I can imagine senior care centers where all of the people yelling out hey Siri or Alexa! Those who adapt will begin to call their family and friends Siri & Alexa. :-)

[@jedwardoo]

Have a safe trip and enjoy your time in Madrid!

[@phoenixvj8824]

Thank you for these information. Middle age person dealing with memory issues after Covid here. I think it is good to start familiarizing myself with all these functions, so hopefully they will become a natural for me to use them when I “really” get old later 😅

[@lyriccrafters]

This is awesome! I struggle with short-term memory loss daily. Thank you for putting this together!

[@nightingalesolo2270]

Great subject, well presented. "On Speaker" is something that needs to be spread far and wide. Apple should get behind this.

[@jazzmoo4u]

David, Great video! Lots of good ideas! Thanks!

[@gramamg100]

Great job David I’m just starting as a career for my wife so I’m having to learn how to setup an iPhone and watch so that I can monitor her and she can make phone calls. I would have thought Apple should be thinking about this in the future. A simple call for help could run a script and dial a carer on speaker automatically. Thanks for your efforts.

[@annamaymeade2125]

Hi David, This is great information and I look forward to sharing this with my family and friends. See you soon.

[@mikeeccleston8620]

Absolutely brilliant video. This has given us peace of mind for a relative with MCI.

[@adriantattersley4934]

Super video. Love the light mood on such a serious matter.

[@lookingupwithwonder]

You are awesome! Funny, very informative.

[@francesowens1985]

Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I both have memory issues and these tips are so useful. I just subscribed to you.

[@diestage2026]

Great video! Very informative! Didn't know how to make Siri of some help nor have any use for Siri shortcuts (now an app in itself). More power!

[@us276056]

As always, another fantastic training video! Always enjoy listening to your videos. You are a seasoned teacher and definitely know how to keep your audience engaged to the topic at hand. Thank you for taking the time and resources to inform us of these valuable tools available to us!

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Thank you for recognizing my efforts. 🙏

[@mgkroth]

Thanks for creating this video. Even though I'm not suffering from memory impairment, I'm getting older and find myself forgetting things more often. I learned some really useful tips. These tips will be great for my parents also, if I remember to tell them :)

[@leafnovice7492]

Thanks David. A great little bit of public service broadcasting ! There could be a series in this for you.......! Seriously 'though, it's tremendous stuff, so keep up the missionary work.

[@Alan2Bordeaux]

What an excellent video! Great work!

[@nickpatterson9330]

Shared to FaceBook. David, thank you for doing this.

Thank you for sharing this video

[@garywell1052]

I wish that Siri was available as my mom was Aging. Most helpful...thanks

[@partiallyblind2]

Wonderful and timely information!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

These were very helpful tips , thank you so much ! I have Multiple Sclerosis and my memory has suffered greatly, being only 49 that can be embarrassing 🙋🏻‍♀️ .

[@taxangles]

Very informative, as well as, entertaining. I laughed out loud a few times. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with others.

[@forresthaggertychannel4301]

I love it!

[@rheaton78]

Awesome video man!

[@BellaNC]

This is so informative! Thank you for all the tips to utilize Siri for elders (which includes me!)

[@johntenopir2088]

This is an 'A+'.

[@mikemiles3068]

Loved your video❗️BUT I am 73 years old and I don’t remember what it was about❗️Thanks anyways❗️👍✅

[@fasbe9]

I love your classes! Really helps me, please keep it going. I'm unemployed right now, however: when I get it together I will send some $$$ your way.

[@barbarachandler4430]

Hey David, thank you for this, I'm sorry you have someone with dementia. I work in an assisted living, memory care. I also teach a class for new hires, Id like to have this available for family members who would benefit. I will pass on the info and where ti find you. Im always telling my I

[@TheTipsyRooster]

Look at you, all "Steve Jobsed" out with that turtleneck! AMAZING video BTW... thank you for shedding light on something that most people didn't know existed!

[@mantisweb]

Very helpful indeed. I didn't know you could do so much with siri. By the way, I'm sure it's been pointed out to you but number 3 and 8 on you Top Ten Siri Commands PDF are exactly the same.

[@DavidBishopinc]

Well done. Great information.

[@JJCoxUTube]

David, it’s been a while, good video as always. Here are a few more items for you to think about in a follow up video. Set up relationships in contacts so you can say things like, “Hey Siri, call my son”, “Hey Siri who am I”’, “Hey Siri, how do I get home”, ‘Hey Siri, show me where I am. (at this point you can share your location, etc. Another very important feature to make sure is filled out (you touched on it with the 911) is in the Health app (available on the iPhone and shared in sync but independent of the iPhone on the Apple Watch [a copy is kept on the watch and the phone does not need to be present] is the individuals MedicalID information. So, emergency personnel can easily get the name and age, medical conditions, Allergies & Reactions, medication, dosage of medicine, Blood Type, Height, Weight, Emergency Contacts doctors name, number, Relation name and numbers. (This is a must have for anyone to have filled out). The Fall Detection of the Apple Watch will also after calling 911 will call your Emergency Contacts with an auto message. I hope this helps if not you someone else reading this. I hope none of this will be necessary or needed to be used by your loved one or anyone’s loved one. Enjoy your time in Spain.

[@TechTalkAmerica]

There are more videos of similar topics coming soon. People have short attention spans these days and so there is some pressure to keep it short and sweet.

[@JJCoxUTube]

- I understand, and am looking forward to more. Thanks and enjoy.

[@fenilpatel5017]

nice very use full for everyone

[@michaelwdefausell3335]

Great video. Great content. Thank You.

[@roberthiday3342]

This is a great one. Thanks for doing this.

[@VickiBowers]

Bless you. Brought tears to my eyes. And YES, thank you for the squeaker substitute for "Hey Siri." 😂😂😂 Thank you, thank you, thank you for these great tips. I'll be sharing this video. Thank you.

[@stdror]

Great, thanks.

[@neil9251]

Didn’t know the “On Speaker” command at the end. That’ll also be handy for making hands free calls.

[@markedelman9128]

Very Good!

[@tnwanda1963]

What a great video! Thank you!

[@Shelacy]

Invaluable info...thank you so very much!

[@cindybarker2938]

Thank you. 👍

[@esthermofet]

Interesting choice of the pill photo... but, uh, that's not a blood pressure medication. Although applied appropriately, it might conducir al embarazo. That said, these are all reminders that someone might keep on the back of a business card. Particularly the "...on speaker" appendix. Hugely helpful.

[@JohnPawseySPF]

Brilliant!

[@DCGerry]

Thank you for this video! I hope you will make additional videos in the future to help seniors learn how to use technology to make their lives better. 🤗

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Thank you so much. That's the plan. Trying to make the connections to make that happen.

[@JMJWill]

You may add for those in need of assistance going to the bathroom to prevent accidents getting there in time. This would also be great if Apple would develop sensor to be placed in depends that alerts on iPhone or Apple Watch. Getting old isn’t easy, being PC.

[@amhjetten]

Wonderfull, I live in the Netherlands and some of the optioneel are limited here 😡. But I realy leurned a lot, thank you and keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@CompetentSalesUSA]

Nice job! Thank you

[@michaelkelly6583]

brilliant ... and funny. Thank you.

[@BarrieBrown]

Hey, Siri remind me a week ahead of time to get a birthday card and present for my grandchildren🎉 Remind me to pay the bills on the 1st of the month Remind me what bills to pay Remind me to plug my iPhone in to charge when I go to bed Remind me to brush my teeth Remind me to eat my supper Remind me to check the weather before I go out and if it's going to rain to bring my umbrella Remind me to check tech talk America everyday for a new video Remind me to check my blood sugar every morning

Thanks for this good advice. I hope to never need it but if I do ...

[@garypillischafske1425]

Wow! For us old foggies you nailed it. Thank you David, so very much. I do have a question tho. When you have your phone or tablet on with "find me" does that give your location to the world? I'm a little paranoid about such things I guess. Great job and thank you for helping!

[@TechTalkAmerica]

You're very welcome. That feature you're referring to only shares it with the people you select. You're just basically enabling the setting initially and then choosing who has access to it.

[@Nonduality]

Well, we know what medication YOU'RE on. Hey, thanks for the further education.

[@dagwood1327]

Here is some positive feed back. I’m positive the little blue pill is a blood pressure pill. LOL. Love the content of ou channel.

[@lucyarnsby-wilson2552]

thanks, really useful video as a close family member has dementia. Dont think she will want the blue pill though 😉

[@cheryliverson6327]

How do I find my phone? I am always loosing it in my house or leaving it in my car. What is the best way to take picture s of important documents? I photograph everything right now, but I am sure there are better apps. I take photos of business cards, appointment cards, and small handouts or directions. I am younger and have memory loss not from dementia, but it is important to be able to function. I print copies of directions from google maps or similar so that I dont have to be able to see it on phone while driving. I use the calander in my iphone and put everones gift list on the iphone. the other thing that i do is take a picture of a screen shot or email a link to my friends so that i can find it on the sent list. I was wondering what is the best device to locate a person in a box store or grocery store. the person wants some independence, but can get lost or overwhelmed sometimes.

[@PaulButtpwbutt]

How do you user the Find Me command if you have used Find Me and you get a dfferent screen up when adding name

[@herenowjal]

Thanks for this GREAT video (and PDF) ... How do I use "FIND MY" to locate my wife who is using an older iPhone 6+ (w/ only FIND MY IPHONE) ? Thank you for ALL your amazing (& informative) videos ... (These are GREAT KARMIC seeds you are planting !!!)

[@gloriabernal4515]

Our memory-challenged family member has a Samsung phone. Android obviously. Do you have a similar tutorial for those users and care-givers?

[@mlc2]

you are amazing! thanks a lot..
