Happy 2018 Birthday Siri! Apple’s virtual assistant made her debut on October 4, 2011 which makes her seven years old today. Siri is now more powerful than ever, and with the release of iOS 12 users can work to customize the assistant a bit with the Shortcuts app.\u00a0Siri can make calls or send texts for you whether you are driving, have your hands full, or are simply on the go.\u00a0It also offers proactive suggestions, like texting someone that you\u2019re running late for a meeting, so you can stay in touch effortlessly.\u00a0Set alarms, timers, and reminders. Get directions. Preview your calendar. Siri can do it all without your ever having to pick up a device. Based on your routine, Siri can even anticipate what you might need to help you breeze through your\u00a0day.\u00a0Machine learning is constantly making Siri smarter. And you can personalize Siri to make it even more useful. Choose to have Siri speak one of 21\u00a0different languages. Teach Siri who your family members are. And spell out unusual words so Siri can recognize them in the\u00a0future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3148,"featured_media":45717,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[52,249,38138],"class_list":["post-50058","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-ios","tag-siri","tag-siri-shortcuts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
