From personal experience, I’ve found that smart assistants like Siri can play a significant role in enhancing productivity. To harness the full potential of Siri Commands, let’s explore some useful ones that can improve your own experience with this pseudo-AI.
1. Restarting
Electronic devices sometimes require a fresh start to resolve temporary software glitches or just refresh the operating system.
If you don’t know the normal method to restart your device, then this command is for you.
Solution
The command “Siri, restart this device,” will have Siri take care of the reboot for you, simplifying device management.
Siri will always ask for confirmation before executing this command.
2. Music Genres
Have you ever wanted to listen to just a single genre from your library?
Solution
“Siri, play [genre]” prompts Siri to curate a queue from the genre of your choice. Whether you’re in the mood for jazz, pop, or classical, this command will play tracks that align with your mood, and allow for a customized listening experience without lifting a finger.
3. Where did I park?
Do you have a hard time remembering where you parked? Then this command could be a life-saver!
Solution
When you find a place to park, use the command “Siri, I parked my car,” and Siri will remember the location of your parked vehicle. You can get directions later by asking, “Siri, where did I park?”
This command is especially helpful in large parking lots or in unfamiliar locations, ensuring you spend less time searching and more time enjoying your destination.
I haven’t personally used this Siri command, but it seemed so useful that I had to include it here!
4. Alarm Clutter
Have alarms ever have gotten out of control, or made you want to start fresh?
Solution
The command “Siri, delete all alarms” has the potential to be incredibly handy. This lets you bypass deleting each alarm manually, allowing you to get right into the planning.
5. Jokes
Do you find Siri boring?
Solution
When you need a pick-me-up or want to break the ice, you can use, “Siri, tell me a joke.” Although the jokes tend to be corny, these lighthearted quips can serve to lighten your mood and bring a quick smile to your face.
Conclusion
Incorporating these lesser-known Siri commands into your routine has the potential to enhance your daily life and add a touch of ease or fun when you need it. As Apple continues to enhance Siri’s capabilities, appreciating these simple yet effective commands can make using your device even more enjoyable.
