    "Hey Siri - turn on the flashlight"

    I discovered that when I say this "turn on the flashlight" to my AW, the light turns on there instead of on my phone. I'm already finding this handy. Even though the AW flashlight mode isn't very bright, I've already found it useful on several occasions.

    Generating passwords

    I just registered at this place and expected to use the new automatic password generator from Siri. But when I was asked for a password, nothing showed up. I tried several times before I just made something up myself. Am I doing something wrong? I just logged off and tried to use the keychain...

    iPhone Is it possible to open an app and run a task in shortcuts?

    I’d like to say “hey Siri, set alarm” and have my best app open and set the alarm. I’ve figure out how to make a shortcut to open an app, but I want it to open and then complete a task in the app. How can this be done? Thanks

    HomeKit AirPlay 2 Over HomeKit Doesn't Reach Multiple Speakers

    So, I have my Apple TV (4th gen) set up in HomeKit in my living room. Then I have my old Airport Express set up with some speakers plugged in in the dining room. When I say, "Hey, Siri, play Bruce Springsteen on all speakers," music comes out of the dining room speaker, but not the Apple TV...

    Cool– Siri briefly slows down the fans so it can hear you better (Macbook Pro)

    My computer was running hot and the fans were going full speed, and I accidentally activated Siri. While it was listening, it turned the fans down momentarily. Presumably, the internal mic has a hard time hearing when the fans are in jet-engine mode, so they programmed in this nifty little...

    iOS PB 3 Siri Issue?

    Ever since updating to the latest public beta, Siri hasn’t worked on my iPhone X. I’ll receive a message that there’s an issue with the connection and I should try again later. Resetting the network settings resolves the issue for an hour or so, and then the issue arises again. I also did a...

    Siri: Apple gave up & followed Microsoft

    Now that 2018 WWDC is behind us, I have been waiting for Apple aficionados to write about something specific but to my surprise I did not really find any mention of it, apart maybe from WSJ's Joanna Stern. To me, it seems that Apple is following Microsoft when it comes to search and AI. When...

    So I was talking to Siri today and she gave me some interesting answers about WWDC. I wasn’t excited about it but now I’m kinda looking forward to WWDC. What do you guys think of the answers? I think maybe Siri will get a new design (new home?) or even the whole iOS. Lets all keep asking her...

However, it is right now on its way to Apple because, after getting the battery and screen replaced, exactly 2 weeks later the battery started swelling. So my old iPhone 6 (space...

    HomePod May have stubbled upon Siri's problem...

    We recently got a HomePod and have been enjoying it for music and operating some HomeKit switches in the house. I have noticed that occasionally Siri will not be able to complete a task I have requested, responding that she was unable to find a component, etc. If I then make the same request...
