Love your tips mate , but just wondering if there is a way to get Siri to turn off the screen without shutting down ? I have tried it sometime in the past and got the response “ I can’t do that “ from Siri . I know the iPhone will turn off on its own in X amount of time , but if you turn your iPhone on and off a lot , it’s handy to save some battery by turning the screen off immediately with a voice command if you are busy. Cheers.
A few days ago I found your channel and have learned so much about my phone that I never knew. I’m a senior and love Apple products so knowing how to navigate is wonderful. Thank you.
Super handy tips, as always! Any chance of covering "Accessibility" and more specifically "Voice Control." I have been using it in the gym and it's just magical!
Excellent presentation - thanks. Appreciate your down-to-earth delivery, and I'm enjoying learning "new stuff". I've already used some of your great tips. Looking forward to picking up more, PHT. There should be an emoji for that acronym.
This guy is extremely helpful! I have had Apple for over 8 years now and I’m very inclined towards technology and I thought I knew everything with Siri but this guy showed me more than a couple of new things! I’ve subscribed after the first video that I watched. I recommend for everyone to do so!
After leaving the dark abyss of Android I ventured into Apple world 6 months ago. You have been my go to guy since then. Concise and to the point. Oh. And understandable. I don’t have to stretch my weak comprehension skill to learn from you. Thanks so much !!
I wish Siri would do things without having to unlock phone every time. Like when I’m driving and the phone is on the phone holder. I say hey siri text so and so, or look something up and she says “unlock phone”. Btw love your videos!! You go at just the right speed for understanding! I’m on 16.2 iphone8+.
Thank you for sharing these useful new updates! By the way, you can find out the name of an Emoji by typing it somewhere (Notes, Mail, Pages, etc.), and then highlight the emoji and from the pop-up menu, choose “Speak”. Siri will read the name of the Emoji out loud.
OMG. Just today my phone got stuck and I couldn’t send out messages and the touch wasn’t working so I was just trying to reset it and the buttons on the side didn’t work either so I told Siri to do it. Worked like a charm.
Siri tips are my favorite set of videos that you do. As a woman of advanced years, I use Siri a lot, and I have always wished that Apple would put out a continuingly updated set of functions that they have given to Siri, or, as is frequently the case, that they have taken away from Siri. I spent several days searching Apple-centric forums, trying to find out if Apple had actually taken away the feature where Siri could search photos by objects or dates, etc. I finally found somewhere that said that that feature was taken away. After I had spent quite a while looking, because it was a feature that I used very frequently with my over 10,000 photos. Please keep the Siri updates going whenever they come out which admittedly is not often enough. Thanks a lot! 0:06
Interestingly enough, I'm using 16.4 and the option "hang out" is not available. I'm in Brazil, though. Maybe it's a setting not available in this region.
You're a world-class communicator. The info you are presenting is begging for you to finally say, "and Bob's your uncle." Why don't you?? Why? 😂Please do! You'll make my day. 😂😁🙏🏼 Gratitude from the USA! You and yours are invited to our Homestead for dinner. 🌞Bravo for your channel. Subscribed. 👏
This is by far the best channel for iOS info. No one comes close. And the Siri functions are amazing, but I do have a question: how do I change the news source from NPR to BBC in the “what’s my update” command? Many thsnks
4:11 probably an unknown setting somewhere but, Siri responds to “Restart my iPhone” with, “Sorry, I can’t do that here”. Tried multiple states of “here”. Same response.
That Restart iPhone feature is a game-changer for me! Too often would I turn off my phone with the intent to turn it back on, but for whatever reason, I get distracted easily and wonder 15 minutes later, "Man, my phone's been quiet" and sure enough it's still off in my pocket or left somewhere in my house
Thanks for the tip about the relationships. I often use Siri to send messages when i'm driving or walking around with my AirPods, it will make things infinitely easier !
Fantastic video. I am using Siri more than before but still neglect Siri a bit much. Learning a new feature or two will only help the experience. I really do prefer Siri confirming a message before sending. Not sure what others tend to do
Your watch can also start the video camera on your phone as well. I use that a lot and the watch shows a preview so you can be sure the phone is set up in the correct position.
Very nice video with terrific ideas. I added the “cheese” shortcut and learned that my watch could take a picture! The phonetic spelling addition is very useful and I can’t wait to implement it.
OMG so helpful. My wife’s name pronounced by Siri is a mess! I’ve now updated it and it’s like she has a new friend! Thanks (I had no idea you could do that!)
The shortcut to take a picture is a great idea. Problem is for a selfie one can’t see the image to set it up and Hey Siri doesn’t work in the camera app for some reason
Your videos are helpful! First time I have had this happen where I tried to adjust something from your tutorials and my iPhone 12 is not finding it. It doesn't bring up the Say Cheese shortcut. I am on IOS 16.2 so not sure. I see there is 16.3 available. Maybe I'll update and then try. Keep up the great content!
A useful tip for name pronunciation is try using common words for example Kreizinger ends up sounding like Kreezenjer I tried Cry Zinger and it’s close enough to work for me. The restart iPhone one was useful for a friend that had a weird bug with their power button not responding. 🎉
Thanks for all the hard work producing fabulous, clearly articulated and helpful content! Question: How can one correct unusual words or names that iPhone Dictation, or Siri, continually get wrong? I've tried creating a Contact for such a word and using a Phonetic field, but that doesn't always work for dictated content. Thanks!
New subscriber and I LOVE the way you conduct a TH-cam tutorial. I'm learning so much binge watching your content. Just curious .. I can't seem to find the link to the freecodecamp list of emoji names in the description. thanks again for brilliant content.
Thanks! And my bad, I’d forgotten the link, it’s there now (but also here just in case) www.freecodecamp.org/news/all-emojis-emoji-list-for-copy-and-paste/
Great video. One issue with the "Say Cheese" shortcut is that (at least for me) Siri doesn't work when the camera app is running. So there's no way to align the camera correctly or lock focus or things like that to prepare for the photo?
What I did is rather than using SIri/Shortcut, I used Voice Control instead and set a customized command to press on the shutter. You will find the function under Accessibility in Settings.
If u have a Apple Watch u can open the camera app on ur watch n see a preview of what ur pic will look like (u can also see it on ur iPhone if taking a selfie) n use ur front or back camera on ur iPhone to snap a pic by pressing the shutter on ur watch. U can also set a timer. Super useful for taking selfies w my gfs or when using a tripod n posing with my friends.
Love the photo tip. Is there a way to be able to frame your photo before siri snaps it? I tried the preview 'on', but I then have to manually push the 'shutter'.
Good stuff. The "Say Cheese" is way too slow and waits about 3 seconds before taking the picture. But a good idea perhaps for not taking pics of people smiling that need to remain still. Better for still non human shots.
I used to try to call my daughter on an early bluetooth headset, but it couldn’t understand the word. She also has an usual name it couldn’t get either. I changed her contact to “dotter” and it worked perfectly!
I think this Siri-only restart method is pretty cool, but also potentially dangerous. Imagine someone else forcing your phone to restart at opportunistic times. It could stop you from calling for help or otherwise. Could be combined with other techniques/exploits/social engineering to aid in crimes. I love it as a feature, but there needs to be an option to turn it off considering it could potentially be a security issue for people.
You can only have one timer. However, If you use the term alarm… Check out below: Set my lasagna alarm for 50 minutes Set my garlic bread alarm for 15 minutes It will create named alarms that will expire that far in the future. Helpful if you are making a large meal. The only downside is that it creates each of these is a named alarm and they can stack up. But you can ask Siri to delete alarms.
Love your videos! A feature I would like added to Siri, is to tell her how to pronounce the name of the city I live in. She always gets it wrong and I haven’t found a way to change the pronunciation. Any ideas?
With the fact that you often have your iPhone and iPad in close proximity to each other, how can you ensure the correct device responds to the “Listen For” you use? Many Thank.
Great video! Wife and I have been watching for about 2 months now and would like to join the community. I would like to know, does joining allow the Google Family as members or is the membership a single user membership?
Thanks for a detailed tutorial!1 I followed the steps for adding "say cheese' in my shortcuts, except for my phone will not allow me to switch from take photo with "back" to "front". The little blue arrow is there newt to the word camera but doesn't do anything? I have IOS 16.3. any suggestions?
Wow. I might actually use the "Restart my iphone" prompt. Pressing up/down and then quickly pressing the lock button and then holding it until my finger fell asleep was a problematic method.

@@mikldude9376 None that I know of unfortunately, only the ability to restart.
If you say “Hey Siri, lock phone screen” Siri will lock your screen WITHOUT restarting your phone. I use this feature all the time when I drive.
Not so sure about the sister thing. I have 3 sisters...
Cheers, mate. Was a good one. Never hesitate with Siri related videos.
A few days ago I found your channel and have learned so much about my phone that I never knew. I’m a senior and love Apple products so knowing how to navigate is wonderful. Thank you.
Love your clear explanations with visuals to follow what you say. Congrats and well done.

Same issue here. I mean what's the point of trying to be hands-free if you have to touch the phone to unlock it?
Check out 2 items:
Settings, Siri & Search, Allow Siri When Locked and
Settings, Face ID & Passcode and scroll down to ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED.
HTH.
@@arthendrickson4860 thank you i hope this fixes it!
Same here.Love your work!
Use voice control

I'm an Apple fan and I knew most of these but I actually didn't know about the "What Can I Do Here?" that's actually pretty cool in my opinion! 👍🏻
Amazing way for feeding the information. Thank you so much very informative tech tips
Extremely helpful, even more so than usually. I adjusted several settings while watching, and I’m very grateful. Thanks!
OMG. Just today my phone got stuck and I couldn’t send out messages and the touch wasn’t working so I was just trying to reset it and the buttons on the side didn’t work either so I told Siri to do it. Worked like a charm.
Very helpful. thank you. Love your weekly newsletter also
Thank you for the video! Found it very informative. Listened to it twice! 🙌🏻👍🏻
The contextual relationships tip is GOLD. Thanks!
Thank you for an excellent Siri video. I really enjoy how clearly you tell us about the action. What’s next? I’ll check out the other two videos!
Thanks - always great stuff!
I just wish I could remember all your tips and tricks 😅
This was so good that I created a playlist called “Tech.” Thanks a lot.

Very well put content. Even I was able to understand it.

Really nice list of features! 👍🏻 Though, I must say the "adding relationship" feature is really, really, really, really old. 😊
Be that as it may , some of us have never seen it before , all tips are welcome, even older ones.
I’m glad you brought this up, because I have been using it for years to call my mother and brother
You have the best soothing voice ever!
Fantastic video. I am using Siri more than before but still neglect Siri a bit much. Learning a new feature or two will only help the experience. I really do prefer Siri confirming a message before sending. Not sure what others tend to do
Hang up is on iphone 10xr 😍 thanks for all the info!!!
Good advice here. Thank you!
I was ask the Siri every time like “hey siri power off the iPad”
Your watch can also start the video camera on your phone as well. I use that a lot and the watch shows a preview so you can be sure the phone is set up in the correct position.
Very nice and informative. Thank you very much
Thanks for video! Could you improve Siri taking a picture by adding a let's say a 10 second delay before the taking of the photo? Thanks
Very nice video with terrific ideas. I added the “cheese” shortcut and learned that my watch could take a picture! The phonetic spelling addition is very useful and I can’t wait to implement it.
Wow, thanks so much for this great video. I really liked the tips for Siri! I set up at least 5 of them. These are awesome! 😊
Thanks for the video! You've provided some great tips!
OMG so helpful. My wife’s name pronounced by Siri is a mess! I’ve now updated it and it’s like she has a new friend! Thanks (I had no idea you could do that!)
Great video Tom :)
Wow. This was very informative/useful. Props for the pdf alternative (I understand the member paywall).
1:41 bruhh when he called my phones alarm went off!
Great video, as usual. I’ve already changed several contacts to show my relationships. Also, I love the “what’s my update” function!
Fantastic info thank you so much, going be a game changer for me
Useful tips! And I've never known how to correctly pronounce the name Aoife. So that's a bonus!
Thanks for some very useful tips

Danke!

Justice for Siri, she never gets appreciated for all the things she gets forced to do..😢

Do you have any helpful hints for turning off my new iPad Air? I end up taking 2-3 photos before I get the thing turned off.
Another banger. thanks
Great info. I set up the Say cheese. It woun't let me change from back to front camera. Any suggestions??
These were great. Thanks.
Fabulous! Many Thanks!
No worries!
The Siri hang up feature is also available on iPhone XS
I used to try to call my daughter on an early bluetooth headset, but it couldn’t understand the word. She also has an usual name it couldn’t get either. I changed her contact to “dotter” and it worked perfectly!
This guy is like the Michael Jordan of iPhone tutorials.
As a native born son of the South, I really appreciate finding out I can get Siri to stop cutting me off.

For some reason, Call Hang Up is available on my iPhone 12 pro and not on my iPhone13. Both rocking iOS16.5.1
Great video….”Say Cheese” definitely a stress reliever-Many Thanks
I enjoy your info. But, I cannot seem to add my COVID vaccination card to my phone. Help?
Love your videos! A feature I would like added to Siri, is to tell her how to pronounce the name of the city I live in. She always gets it wrong and I haven’t found a way to change the pronunciation. Any ideas?
None that I'm aware of sadly, I'm only aware of Siri being able to be corrected about the names of people, not places.
I for one am very glad siri can restart my iPhone xr! An app had a weird bug where it kept requesting access and was stuck in that loop
With the fact that you often have your iPhone and iPad in close proximity to each other, how can you ensure the correct device responds to the “Listen For” you use?

Awesome, thank you boss
Christmas 2023. I can’t find the “say cheese” button you refer to. I’m running current iteration.
