This is a bit of a strange story on the BBC website in the UK today (8/6/16)
I will post the link below so the story can be read in full and in context but basically it tells the story of how a baby's life was saved by SIRI as it called the Emergency Services for the mother.
To summarise, mother hears child is unwell, grabbed her phone and ran into her child's bedroom but dropped the phone and couldn't find it however she was able to use SIRI functionality to get the phone to call Emergency Services on speakerphone.
Now I am confused here as I thought that SIRI functionality only worked when plugged in "Hey SIRI" or when you summon SIRI using the home button and as the phone could not be located and had been moved from the mothers bedroom it cannot have been plugged in nor the home button pressed. Am i missing something, not discounting the story as I think SIRI is a very clever and useful innovation but not sure that this is quite right.
