How to Use Siri on iPhone 13

Part 1: What Can I Do with Siri?

You will be surprised to know how versatile and useful Siri is for iPhone users. Here, we will highlight 10 important functions that Siri can perform for you:

1. Search for Things

Siri helps you in searching things and provides valuable information about any searched topic. It uses a variety of web services to retrieve data from multiple sources. Therefore, searches show diverse results that are way more useful than any simple website's search outcomes. If you want to know sports scores, movie time, or currency rates, Siri will show direct results instead of website links.

2. Translation

Siri is also capable of translating English into other languages. You might need a command of different languages for a job or while traveling abroad to know the meaning of basic sentences. Siri will help you with this task as well. You just have to ask, "How do you say [Word] in [Language]?"

3. Post on Social Accounts

Another great use of Siri is that it helps in posting on Facebook or Twitter. You can make your work easy and simple with Siri. Simply say, "Post to [Facebook or Twitter]. Siri will ask what you want to put in the post. Dictate the words to Siri, and it will confirm the text and post it on the specified social media.

4. Play Songs

Siri assists if you want to play any song from your favorite artist, or similar to a specific artist, or a specific song from a specific singer. If that particular song is not available on your iPhone or iPad, Siri will allow you to queue them on an Apple Music Station. You can play specific albums, genres, pause, play, skip and play specific parts of the song with Siri.

5. Open Applications

Even if you have all the applications on your iPhone, you might get tired of flipping through your screens all the time. With Siri, just tell it to "Open YouTube" or "Open Spotify," and it will display results quickly. Moreover, you can also get the apps downloaded by Siri. Just say, "Download Facebook," and your work will be done.

6. Alter iPhone Settings

Changing settings can be tiring work for non-technical and new iPhone users. Siri has got you all covered in this portion as well. With Siri, you can give it commands to turn off Bluetooth or Switch On Airplane Mode.

7. Mapping

Mapping things can be a tremendous job, but Siri is helpful in this aspect too. You can map with the help of Siri. Just ask it to display the way to Point B from Point A and ask how far the destination is. Moreover, if you are stuck at an unknown place, ask Siri to give you directions to your home, find the nearest shop, and know about landmarks.

8. Set the Alarm and Time Check

Setting Alarms is yet another useful function performed by Siri, as you can arrange them by a simple “Hey Siri” on your iPhone. When the voice assistant is activated, say “Set an alarm for 10:00 pm” or change the timing with “Change the 10:00 pm alarm to 11:00 pm”. Moreover, you can check the time of any city by saying “What time is it in New York, America?” and the results will be shown.

9. Convert Measurements

Siri has Math abilities as it can be an effective unit converter. You can ask Siri any unit amount and the unit you want it to convert to. Siri will provide the exact converted answer, as well as additional conversions. In this way, you can quickly look up units and get related information.

10. Correct Pronunciation

If Siri misinterprets your friend's name saved on his contact number, don't worry. Decide to change their name and ask for their phone numbers. When Siri will reply, say, "This name is not pronounced this way." Then, Siri will provide a few pronunciation options, and you will be allowed to choose from them.
