Make Siri More Useful
Siri got the very welcome ability to launch apps last year,
and the voice command’s features are only expanding. Now you can:
Turn her into a him (or vice versa)
Trigger Siri when you hold the handset to your face
Correct her pronunciation
Identify relationships between you and contacts (brother,
mother, spouse)
Tell her to turn on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other system
settings
To try this: (1) and (2) Settings -> General -> Siri
to set the voice as male or female, or to activate Siri when you hold it up to
your head. (3) If she messes up pronunciation, you can just correct her in the
moment. (Say “that’s not how you pronounce that” to pull up options.) (4) To
let Siri know that “Jane Smith” is your wife, just launch Siri—long press on
the home button—and tell her that “Jane Smith is my wife.” (5) To switch
settings on or off via voice command, activate Siri simply speak the command
out loud.
Shake To Undo
Moving parallax effect making you queasy? Kill
it using these steps.
More often than I care to remember, I’ve accidentally
trashed an important email and cursed the insane lack of an undo button. The
joke’s on me though, because there’s a way to get messages back, and it’s
actually been there since iOS 6. It’s easy to overlook because it’s not a
button, but a physical gesture. (Bonus: It also works in other select apps to
delete what you just typed.) But be warned: You’ll want to have a good grip on
the phone. I almost hurled mine against the wall by accident.
To try it: To get back a deleted email, you could shake
that phone in the air like you just don’t care. Thing is, you actually do, so
easy does it. A gentle jangle should be enough to call up the “undo” feature.
Same goes for deleting what you typed in Twitter, Messages, Reminders or
several other apps. And if you change your mind and want your email/text back,
just give it another shake and tap the “redo” option.
