Do more with Siri

SIRI KNOWS MORE THAN EVER BEFORE AND WILL SEND YOU TO THE WEB LESS OFTEN

Siri gets a rough ride from many critics. Apple’s strong stance on privacy is partly the reason for the limitations, but a minimal loss of automation is a small price to pay to stay safe when travelling or going about your daily business. Siri in iOS 12, however, is now smarter and will offer more genuinely useful benefits.

KNOW YOUR CELEBRITIES

You can now ask Siri for celebrity facts and most answers will be displayed within the Siri interface rather than being presented through a third-party website.

INSTANT TRANSLATIONS

Siri is now capable of translating phrases in 40 languages. Say a phrase and ask Siri to translate it to the language of your choice. The results are instant.

UNDERSTAND YOUR FOOD

The USDA database now backs up Siri and it offers a huge amount of data to give you answers to questions about foods. It can help you eat healthily every day.

WIDE-RANGING ANSWERS

You can also ask Siri ‘How healthy’ a type of food is and you will be presented with a list of facts including fat and sodium content – very useful.

GET YOUR PASSWORDS

Ask Siri for a password that you have already saved and you will be taken to the exact listing that you need on your iOS device. Siri has improved a lot in iOS 12.

FIND YOUR PHOTOS

Siri can also find photos of a particular person or place with a quick question. It links to many of the default apps to perform select actions that you need to do.
