While Siri still isn\u2019t quite up to the mark<\/a> when it comes to having back and forth conversations and asking obscure, complex questions, it\u2019s gotten pretty good at some key things. Things that a lot of iPhone users use Siri for, like calling someone, sending someone an iMessage, time zone or currency conversion and the like. Siri is so good at these things that I usually skip the UI and ask Siri to do those things for me even when my fingers are right there on the screen (Hey Siri command really helps there). But there\u2019s one more thing you can add to that list \u2013 device commands.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a scheduled Do not Disturb set up. I usually do it before going to bed. But sometimes I forget and some group chat I\u2019m in decides to have an engaging conversation right as I\u2019m about to fall asleep. It testing times like these all I say is \u201cHey Siri turn on do not disturb\u201d and more often than not, it does. I don\u2019t have to pick up my phone, look at it in the dark, none of those things.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s just one of the device settings Siri can manipulate for you. There are loads.<\/p>\n

About Modifiers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are different ways you can talk to Siri about this. You can use the enable\/disable moniker, or turn on\/turn off. Activate\/deactivate works as well. And for things like brightness, you can also ask Siri to increase\/decrease it for you.<\/p>\n

Now that that\u2019s out of the way, let\u2019s talk about things you can ask Siri to do.<\/p>\n

Device Settings You Can Change with Siri<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can ask Siri to open Settings or open a specific part of the Settings app like Notification settings. You can also ask Siri if Wi-Fi is enabled.<\/p>\n

How Do You Use Siri<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s quite frustrating when Siri gets you wrong. And it\u2019s also quite hard to come back to Siri once that happens. But I\u2019m starting to train my brain to know what Siri is good at and what she isn\u2019t. So when there are times when Siri can save me time, I try to engage her instead of opening an app for a Google search.<\/p>\n
