A LOT of people telling me that Lumos and Nox doesn't work for them... Apparently, if you change your phone's region to United Kingdom, it will work (you could of course set it right back after). Give it a try if this tip isn't working for you.

@stevereed3451 2 года назад

Lumos and Nox work fine for me and my region is set to United States. I'm on 15.5 beta 3, so maybe they've updated it to include other regions.

@_n_d_ 2 года назад

I'm in Australia and it worked for me too. I'm on 15.4.1

@chrisconnors7418 2 года назад

Works in Canada. 15.4.1 on an iPhone SE.

@iTz_ParZ 2 года назад

I’ve found the issue. It’s not whether Siri is set to UK or US or whoever, it’s how you start Siri. It won’t work if you hold down the multi-use button to summon Siri. You have to have “listening for Hey Siri!” Enabled and say “Hey Siri, Lumos” YOU CAN ALSO SAY “Hey Siri, Accio ‘Instagram’” and it’ll open Instagram or whatever app you say in ‘ ‘

@JonTanOsb 2 года назад

It worked for me. My region is Canada. But I had to say Lumos a few times to be understood.

A siri command I use often is "remind me at work to do whatever I need to do" so when I arrive at work I get a reminder to do what I told siri. Very useful for me.

@leumas75 2 года назад

Since I have “cut the wire” and am using RU-vidTV on my AppleTV, I can simply say “Hey Siri, pause the TV,” or if I’m refilling a drink in the kitchen and have missed something I can say “Hey Siri, jump back 30 seconds on the TV” and it does so. Quite an awesome hands free tip.

When doing a task and I have something else to do in 36 mins, I just ask Siri to set a timer for 36 minutes and then I can focus on the task at hand. Also when following a recipe and I need the measurements in grams instead of ounces I simply ask Siri to convert the amount while my hands are full.

@nogbad1958 Год назад

Siri saves me so much time, I can ask Siri to remind me when to get washing out of the machine, and if I’m making the evening meal, I just ask her to remind me when I need to do different parts of the prep… then go back to RU-vid.

I often take naps in the middle of the day. So I would ask Siri to "set alarm at ..." and "switch on do not disturb" :)

@barrybebenek8691 Год назад

I know for myself that for years I moved away from asking Siri anything because the answer was always the same “here’s what I found on the web”, for pretty much anything. Useless. But it has come so far, so fast, it’s very useful now. I use it almost exclusively now over Alexa. Thanks for this vid, I didn’t know it did this much more. 🇨🇦👍🏼

@da.reverend 2 года назад

First of all, I appreciate Siri more than I have in the past. Thanks for that. Secondly, Lumos and Nox will be getting a lot of use from me for a long time.

@JonSawer 2 года назад

Siri is greatly underused and yet it’s so versatile. One of my favourite uses is to ask “Siri what movies are showing at the moment” to check the local showtimes and get a rundown of movie options and even provides and plays the film trailers instantly. Tip: If you have misplaced your board game dice. “Siri roll a dice” and get the result as if you had rolled the dice yourself. Works for coin flipping also “Siri flip a coin”.

@ProperHonestTech 2 года назад

I’ve used ‘Siri, flip a coin’ to make an important life decision more times than I’d care to admit.

Hi! I usually use the: - Hey Siri, set up an X minutes timer - Hey Siri, call X (name) on speaker - Hey Siri, text X (name), 'whatever I want to tell them' - Hey Siri, save my parking spot (and Siri will pin your car's location on the map, given that you are in the car while giving the command)

I constantly ask Siri for information about a subject and she always replies that she can’t find any information. I then repeat the request but preface it with “do a google search for” she then provides the requested information without fail. Siri should automatically do a web search for information without being instructed to do so. I was unaware of many of your tips, thanks.
