iOS 10 officially presented: the new Siri

iOS 10 представлена официально: новые функции SiriAlong with future updates Siri will become even smarter.

In a future version of iOS assistant Siri will become more useful.

Apple has provided access to voice management for app developers, she will learn to give advice in advance, before she asks. Siri also now works on Apple computers.

Please see a few examples of the work of Siri, to assess how convenient this feature in iOS.

Remittances

Currently the number of third-party apps with Siri support is quite modest, in fact it is Twitter, Yes Facebook. Despite this, programmers have now access Siri, so that soon Siri will learn to control the music in Spotify or notes in Evernote.

Here is another example from the near future. Using app Square Cash to send money to friends without a fee. Suffice it to say: “Siri, Sharon pay 10 dollars via Square Cash.” This is an example of how it works in America, I think, and Russian banks will consider such a possibility.

Order a pizza or call Uber

You can call a taxi without opening the app, just say “Call me Uber,” the same phrase to organize the delivery of food home.

Send messages

Using Siri, you can send messages through iMessage or Mail. But soon, the software developers add it to their messengers. Telegram, WeChat, WhatsApp, Skype… Yes it’s not listed, most importantly, what to communicate will be more convenient.

Advanced search

Siri will help you to type messages, offering thematic clues, analyzing what was going on in the dialogue. For example, the interviewee asks to send e-mail colleagues, and Siri meanwhile injects into the dialogue the address. And if you ask the date of departure, then she will find the exact day and time in the calendar, add this information to the dialogue.

Search YouTube on Apple TV

If you want to find something on YouTube, you have to first launch the YouTube app on Apple TV, then flipping up the string Search, and then clamping the button on the remote and dictate the command to Siri.

Apple promises update for Apple TV in late June, there will be a new feature. Then Siri will start searching on YouTube from any application or menu section on the phrase like “Siri, look up cat videos on YouTube.

But another nice thing: Siri in the same way and will work on the iOS after the autumn update.

To enable live

Apple TV available for streaming to TV broadcasting (hereinafter the examples of American TV): CBS, FXNow, Discovery GO, and that sort of thing. After upgrading you have to say is “I want to watch ESPN” or “turn on CBS to start streaming.

Search for specific movies

While Siri can’t search for movies of certain genres. You can search by genre, actor, title, Director or decade. But if you want to find something specific, for example, associated with baseball or Hiking, Siri can’t help.

After upgrade search is working accurately, and responding to requests like “Show me movies about technology”

Siri on Mac

On Apple computers Siri will work, she will receive a residence permit in the status bar. It will help to make calls, type messages, search for data, set up reminders, run the functions like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Siri will respond to commands in the spirit of “Show me the text I was working on last night” or “Open photos from last week”.

Simple multitasking

On the Mac, Siri will not only find documents or files but also can copy the data in open programs. For example, add pictures from the text — a common situation in the layout text review of the device.

It is unclear how to launch Siri: will there be a button or key combination on the Mac. To call it solely from the status bar will be not very convenient.

To manage the house with new devices

Siri will help control system smart home together with HomeKit. Yet the ecosystem includes only iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch, and locations for Mac it was not. Apple TV works as a control center, so in theory to issue commands via Siri conveniently by tuning the various devices: light bulbs, sockets, locks, HVAC equipment and so on. But if you work with Apple TV 4th generation, problems can occur, Siri will say something like, “Sorry, I can’t help you.”

Apple plans to unify the work of Siri on different devices, including Apple TV and Mac and not just iOS devices in order for any of them to comfortably manage the HomeKit ecosystem. And then the command “Turn on light” or “Shut the front door” each gadget with Siri support will fulfill this request.

By the way, we recently wrote that Apple plans to make the iPad the center of the smart home.

Switch the radio station and turn on the air conditioner in the car

The work of Siri in the car is especially important now for management system CarPlay, click on the button on the steering wheel and give the command, the principle is the same as on the phone with Siri. Assistant will pave the way, send another message, create a calendar entry or reminder.

But with future updates Siri will become even smarter and CarPlay will only benefit from this. Because there will be access not only software developers, as well as automakers. And then Siri at the command of the owner would be to change the temperature, change radio stations, stream music on Spotify or to send messages via WhatsApp.
