Rich, you are a great teacher for someone who knows alttle about ipads. But some of us don't even know how to turn one on, where to tap screen to get what we need. We baby beginners need baby steps.
While I have disabled ”hey Siri” due having a family member named Sarah (it was triggering when I talked with her), one of my favorite ‘assists’ from my phone is: [hold power button to trigger Siri] Say “Set reminder (day time) for (item/task to remember) A reminder will be created and then a notification will occur on that day at the appropriate time. This is especially useful when driving and phone is connected to car, as that seems to be when I think of stuff I need to take care of.
I am fairly literate when it comes to using the iPhone and iPad, I still learn some useful things though watching your videos. I think you missed something though when it came to sending the text and photo. You do not have to press the send button when Siri asks whether you want to send them. You just say send, this is particularly useful when using CarPlay. A video on CarPlay would be good as I am sure I would learn something. Being British, I appreciate that Siri recognises the way we correctly use the King”s English rather than having to use the colonial pronunciation. 😂 The King of course would say what do I have on my diary today? Which Siri recognises. His diary was particularly full yesterday! 😂
Well, a few people more I hope! I get lost in all the things the iPhone can do so I've got to where I just ask Siri to do something and I see what happens. Most of the time it works. Thanks for watching!
I love all the ways you highlighted for using Siri. I have only been asking Siri to set timers when I am baking and when I wake up in the morning, asking for the current temperature.
You're very welcome Larry! Honestly, I've learned what I know in "doable doses." That's what my videos are fairly short and only cover a few things. I don't like to be overwhelmed with 100 steps to do this or that...Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
This is just amazing. Please publish a guide book on all the fantastic tips you are showing. And I will be happy to purchase it .They are amazing and I had no idea of how to use "Siri" like the way you showed with actual demo ( demo makes it much easier to follow) . Extremely useful and I learnt a lot . Thank you 🙏
Another very useful tutorial! Thanks so much Rich! It's amazing that I probably know more about my I phone than my wife and that's saying something! All thanks to you!
Hi Rich, This video opened my mind on how to use Siri for many more applications than I was using. Loved the send photo application. Thanks as always. Kindness, Teresa
Hi Teresa! I forget to use that Siri command from time to time but it's so much quicker than all the tapping and jumping around. Hope you're doing well.
Not a senior, but great job definitely will use some of these tips! You just gain a subscriber! Would you mind sharing the purple wallpaper? not a senior, but great job definitely will use some of these tips. would you mind sharing your home screen wallpaper? Looks great!
Well thank you so much for the kind words. I try to get better with each video. Sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes things turn out well. I'm just glad you found the videos helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
I have noticed a difference when I ask, “What is the weather forecast for (my location) today?” as opposed to “Show me the hourly weather for (my location) today.” In the first instance, she will come back with websites she found, and in the second, she’ll show me a chart of graph of the today’s weather prediction. It seems like simple, clear declarative requests like Show me… , Call…. , Open this… are for more effective in getting a direct result. I try to avoid questions that may return just a. List of websites to check.
Very practical for example in the kitchen while cooking and you want to set a timer, without taking any object in your hand, just say "Hey Siri" and the desired time.
When I press the side of my phone it doesn’t call Siri app it just gives me the opportunity to turn the phone off. I’m not sure if that’s because I have hey Siri connected. But I thought that’s what you had.
This may be a lame question but do you know of a way to calendar an event that is the 2nd Monday of a Month? The calendar repeat doesn’t offer that option.
Siri is really very practical on our devices (iPads, iPhones) if only it understood what we want well every time. Often unfortunately it understands a whole other thing. I use it all the time for everything, to start a radio or do anything else.
Rich - thanks for your video. Question: At the end you said that Siri is always getting better. Does that mean that the Siri on your own phone gets better only when you use Siri on your own phone, or, does it mean that the Siri on your phone gets better because it is connected to a sort of global/cloud Siri and gets better by other people using Siri even when you are not using Siri?
The latter. Apple has more data to work with in perfecting Siri. Siri still lags in performance to me, but is so much better than just year ago. Thanks so much for watching!
I've not done a video on Dynamic Island. I've not made one because I didn't know if people would find it interesting. So good to hear your question/comment. Thanks for watching!
Sorry about that. I do my best to get the volume at a predefined level before I upload to TH-cam. Every now and them I guess I make a mistake. Thanks so much for watching!
You have to set this in your settings and you have to press it a little bit longer. Settings - Siri & Search, and here the second row will be the "press side button for Siri". You have to activate it.
Rich, you are a great teacher for someone who knows alttle about ipads. But some of us don't even know how to turn one on, where to tap screen to get what we need. We baby beginners need baby steps.
Speaking my mind now has a new meaning.
Thanks for sharing, Rich !
Thanks for sharing these tips. As a senior who forgets everything these tips really help.
Glad it was helpful!
I never knew about the side button , very helpful
Great!
Thank you for the Siri suggestions.
You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks for this one, I have always used Siri, but on a limited basis.

Yes it was! Long live the King! You might be surprised to know the level of excitement in America for the coronation. A CarPlay video is coming soon!
I like the calendar Suggestion
Thanks Rich so simple but who knew?!!

Siri is getting better all the time. Glad you found the video helpful!
In the upcoming IOS apparently we will be able to run a number of times at the same time. Looking forward to that. 👍
Hi Rich. Absolutely love your videos and being 75 I don’t know that much about the iPhone but love what I do know and that’s thanks to you.
You're very welcome Larry! Honestly, I've learned what I know in "doable doses." That's what my videos are fairly short and only cover a few things. I don't like to be overwhelmed with 100 steps to do this or that...Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
@@RichBowlin your quite welcome.
Absolutely brilliant little video clip explaining things in an easy to understand way . Cheers Rich from Tredegar South Wales,UK
Thanks so much. Glad the video was worth a few minutes!
EXCELLENT video information, I have never bothered using Siri before but after seeing your video I’ll give it a go.
That's great. Might as well give it a try - nothing to lose!

You're welcome! So glad you liked the video!
These are so helpful. Thanks, Rich!
You're welcome. I hope the video helped a little bit.
Great video, I will spread the word.
Wow! Please do! Thanks so much!!

Pretty cool thanks
Glad you like it
Great video, one of my favorites. But in the intro, please mention what iOS version you’re using. That would be very helpful. Thanks.
Yes! I fail to do that all the time and it would be SO helpful for people to know what version I'm using. Thanks!
Hi there! Another quick tip for sending a text is to simply say “tell George I’m on my way”. It works quite well.
Great tip!
Not a senior, but great job definitely will use some of these tips! You just gain a subscriber! Would you mind sharing the purple wallpaper? not a senior, but great job definitely will use some of these tips. would you mind sharing your home screen wallpaper? Looks great!
I love you. I really do. Thank you for your tutorials. They’re so informative ❤❤
Well thank you so much for the kind words. I try to get better with each video. Sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes things turn out well. I'm just glad you found the videos helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
The only hangup is having to enter my screen password for the command to initiate.
Thank you so much for another very helpful tip
You're more than welcome. Glad the video was helpful.
Thanks
Thanks for another helpful video.
Hi Ed! You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Wow… I never thought that by phrasing the ‘more specific question’ could resolve the issue of Siri’s ‘dumbness’. I wanna try that.
Yeah. It makes immediate difference. Siri becomes less dumb. Haha
Goodness gracious more very useful info to remember! :o) Thank you... I think!
Ha! So much to remember! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks so much. So kind of you. Your gift really encourages me!
It also works great on the watch for changing alarm time, set timer, calls (911) and what not.
Very practical for example in the kitchen while cooking and you want to set a timer, without taking any object in your hand, just say "Hey Siri" and the desired time.
Yes. That's how my wife uses Siri. Thanks so much for wathcing!
I've been using Siri to set timers for how I long I work on a task. Super useful.
When I press the side of my phone it doesn’t call Siri app it just gives me the opportunity to turn the phone off. I’m not sure if that’s because I have hey Siri connected. But I thought that’s what you had.
Go to settings-Siri & Search, then turn on either “press home/side button for Siri, depending on what phone you have.
My friend Aspen she told me that you can just ask Siri to bring you to the app saying hey Siri bring me to Calendar or whatever app you want to go to
A lot of great tips!
Thanks Steve!
Your welcome! I love Siri. She great as a timer! I don’t always hear the oven timer , so I set both! In my advanced age! Lol
When I said it up hey Siri, Aunt told me to ask her all the questions that it said
Rich, how can I figure out who stole my iPhone X a few years ago and is using it right now as we speak with you
PLEASE replace your Microphone... your great videos need GREAT Sound quality too 🙏🙏🙏
Done! Purchased a better mic not long ago. Hopefully the sound will improve. Thanks so much for watching!

Yes - you've got to ask "properly" or Siri can get it wrong. But most of the time Siri works for me. Thanks so much for watching!
@@RichBowlin siri never could understand my voice, even after training, so I haven’t attempted to use it in years.
Hey Rich, how do I use voice command to send a video to my TH-cam channel?
Rich - thanks for your video. Question: At the end you said that Siri is always getting better. Does that mean that the Siri on your own phone gets better only when you use Siri on your own phone, or, does it mean that the Siri on your phone gets better because it is connected to a sort of global/cloud Siri and gets better by other people using Siri even when you are not using Siri?

@@RichBowlin Thank you!
Do you have a video on how to create dynamic Island on my first page??
I've not done a video on Dynamic Island. I've not made one because I didn't know if people would find it interesting. So good to hear your question/comment. Thanks for watching!
Audio a bit low.....
Sorry about that. I do my best to get the volume at a predefined level before I upload to TH-cam. Every now and them I guess I make a mistake. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Rich, I have IPhone 13 and pressing turns my Home Screen off.
You have to set this in your settings and you have to press it a little bit longer. Settings - Siri & Search, and here the second row will be the "press side button for Siri". You have to activate it.
I have numbers all over my screen please help me to get them off. It’s my iPad Pro.
I wish I could help you. You might try rebooting the iPad and see if things go back to normal.
I have Siri set to speak with a female British Accent as I find it way more pleasing.
I love the British accent! Thanks for watching.
all those think completely unnecessary. !!!!
Be REAL nice if Apple/Siri worked like Google Assistant...PERIOD!!!
I asked Siri if she liked Alexa. She said she did. But they still dont work together!
@@RichBowlin see what Im sayin"!.....Siri is the "karen" of Ai!
