Six Things You Didn’t Know Siri Can Do
Six Things You Didn’t Know Siri Can Do

I find myself using Siri more and more these days. For a while, at least for me, she was not very convenient. She never seemed to understand what I was saying. It was just faster to do things myself.

However more recently that has not been the case. So, I started looking into some other things Siri can do for you and found a cool list I wanted to share,

1.  Flip a coin.  She’ll tell you if it came up heads or tails.  She can also roll dice.

2.  Calculate your tip.  Just say something like, “What’s 20% of $63.80?”  She’ll tell you to tack on an extra $12.76.

3.  Read articles out loud.  You need iOS 17 for that one, and the webpage has to be open in Safari.

4.  Find your other Apple devices.  Tell her to ping what you’re looking for, like your Apple Watch.  As long as it’s in your “Find My” list, it should start beeping.

5.  Open your Apple Wallet.  You don’t have to fumble through your phone to find concert tickets or your boarding pass.  She can open it faster.

6.  Translate.  Just tell her to “say this . . .” in whatever language you want.  It can be helpful when you’re traveling in other countries.
