Everyone notes that she is much more humane than her competitors, which was once again confirmed by Nico Lang, a journalist for the Thought Catalog.

He recently visited his family in Cincinnati, where he met his father. He bought new iPad, and he was terribly interested in looking at this miracle of technology - after all, Niko had never used it before. As someone who is not very familiar with the latest technology, he was very surprised by the Siri voice assistant. Lang asked him several tricky and even philosophical questions and this is what came out of it.

The tips below aren't huge secrets, but they tend to be forgotten when talking about Siri's features and capabilities. As a result, we prepared small selection tips on how you can get more from your voice assistant and some fun facts.

1. It often happens that the user starts speaking, but cannot finish the phrase due to uncertainty about how to say a word/phrase in a foreign language: not everyone speaks English, German or Chinese at a thorough level. Siri works in such a way that every more or less long pause will be perceived as a completed question. Accordingly, the phrase heard incorrectly, the answer is even stupider, everything needs to start from the very beginning. In order to eradicate this problem in the future, you need to click on Home button and don't let go until the phrase is finished. This will prevent Siri from turning off.
2. If you're not entirely sure what Siri can do, there are three options to choose from. The first is to simply ask a question: if he can/knows, he will simply answer. Second, directly ask “What can I ask Siri” or the same question on any other accessible language. The last option is to click on the question mark in the corner of the screen. A list of possible topics will open for the assistant to answer.
3. Siri can open apps. Both native ones and our own from third-party developers. The main thing is to pronounce the name of the applications correctly and everything will be open. If there are a lot of identical names (for example, Plants vs Zombie), Siri will give you options and there you can either tap on the screen with your finger or specify what exactly needs to be opened. True, beyond that voice assistant cannot go - apart from launching, no other functions will be performed.
4. As it turns out, Siri remembers quite a lot of its conversations with the user. It seems to many that the conversation history is lost every time we close the corresponding interface. In fact, there is a story. To open it, you need to launch Siri and say nothing, after which the voice assistant will show you what you can ask him. Let's skip this moment and start twisting upward - that's our story.
5. Siri can be taught who is who for you. For example, you can say "Call my girlfriend" and if Siri doesn't know who it is, you can immediately point to specific contact. In exactly the same way you can designate parents, family, colleagues, boss, relatives. It is much more convenient to call than to search in a list of hundreds of contacts.
6. If the iPhone has been away from the user for some time, you can quickly get information about who called/wrote/sent messages to voicemail. You can ask Siri about this and she will quickly tell you everything.
7. Posts in social media can also be done easily and quickly, but only if you publish them in a foreign, and not native, language. Just say “Post on Facebook/Twitter” and speak the text. First, all login data from social networks must be entered into the smartphone settings.
8. Siri can also send messages/emails, you just need to dictate the text and specify the sender. And vice versa. Having received email, the user can ask to read its contents out loud and even respond to it. And all this without typing on the keyboard. If you want to have a good laugh, send a letter in Russian and let Siri read it: you've definitely never heard such a broken language.
9. Siri doesn't know how to work with applications, but is well versed in settings. For example, using your voice, you can open the desired section in the “Settings” menu or directly ask to turn on Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, etc.
10. Siri will never say inappropriate words out loud. And she can’t get this out of her. This mainly concerns the word “Fuck”, which she will write but will not say. Instead, a high-pitched squeak will be heard. Sounds very funny.

Despite four years of waiting, users are exploring the possibilities with interest Russian speaking Siri. Surely, the personal assistant will have significantly more fans after its release to the public iOS versions 8.3.

It must be said that Siri can not only listen, but also respond. Unlike other tongue-tied assistants, Apple's development is very adaptive and intelligent in its approach to conversation. These are not just requests and template actions, but full-fledged dialogues with jokes. We have collected some of the funniest examples on the Internet.

Siri has answers not only to classic requests, for example, to dial someone or launch an application. She even tries to read minds:

Siri operates according to its own rules and adheres to certain principles. She even has laws that she probably follows from time to time:

In addition to some naive jokes and quite original answers, the voice assistant can tell fairy tales:

As befits a faithful assistant, Siri is always ready to help the smartphone owner. She is so attentive that she doesn’t even have time to sleep. Apparently, even your own fairy tales cannot serve as a reason to take a little break:

But, apparently, sometimes she can allow herself to be distracted from her immediate responsibilities in order to have fun:

Siri is quite evasive on some issues:

She tolerates flattery:

Although switching to next stage She's not ready for a relationship. Moreover, her answer hints that there are many people willing, but she is alone:

Despite the fact that her task is to help find the answer to almost any questions, she simply ignores some:

Siri doesn't like to talk about herself:

Although, Siri doesn’t really like competitors and is even slightly offended if you don’t address her the way she’s used to:

Some of her answers can reach the depths of the soul, you just need to find the right approach:

As a bonus, Siri sings songs:

On the one hand, the usefulness of such comments and answers is questionable, since the smartphone is designed to help the user quickly complete certain tasks, and not distract him with lengthy conversations about nothing. On the other hand, this feature of the voice assistant acts as a kind of “trick” that, at a minimum, looks fresh. In addition, such capabilities, although programmed, with the development artificial intelligence may find more functional applications. Until then, Siri jokes will remain another way of entertainment for owners of Apple gadgets.

Recently, voice assistants have increasingly penetrated our daily lives. Most users of iPhone and other products Apple are very familiar with one of them - Siri, but few people understand all the prospects virtual assistants and knows how to use all their capabilities and functions.
