      Love your tips mate , but just wondering if there is a way to get Siri to turn off the screen without shutting down ?
      I have tried it sometime in the past and got the response “ I can’t do that “ from Siri .
      I know the iPhone will turn off on its own in X amount of time , but if you turn your iPhone on and off a lot , it’s handy to save some battery by turning the screen off immediately with a voice command if you are busy.
      Cheers.

    Siri tips are my favorite set of videos that you do. As a woman of advanced years, I use Siri a lot, and I have always wished that Apple would put out a continuingly updated set of functions that they have given to Siri, or, as is frequently the case, that they have taken away from Siri. I spent several days searching Apple-centric forums, trying to find out if Apple had actually taken away the feature where Siri could search photos by objects or dates, etc. I finally found somewhere that said that that feature was taken away. After I had spent quite a while looking, because it was a feature that I used very frequently with my over 10,000 photos. Please keep the Siri updates going whenever they come out which admittedly is not often enough. Thanks a lot! 0:06

    I think this Siri-only restart method is pretty cool, but also potentially dangerous. Imagine someone else forcing your phone to restart at opportunistic times. It could stop you from calling for help or otherwise. Could be combined with other techniques/exploits/social engineering to aid in crimes. I love it as a feature, but there needs to be an option to turn it off considering it could potentially be a security issue for people.

    Slightly off topic question!

Is there anyway - using Siri or other - to silence the phone for a period of time? Or maybe because this is a physical button (iPhone 11) this is not possible.

    • @ProperHonestTech
      @ProperHonestTech  Před rokem +2

      In what context would you want numbers read out like that though? Surely more often than not, people using Siri are going to be wanting to hear the actual number (using it for a mathematical sum, to split a bill, to convert currency etc), and not a sequence of individual numbers? I'm not disagreeing with you btw, genuinely interested as to why you'd prefer numbers to be read out as a sequence.

    I did not realize that about the picture taking, because do you know how long Samsung did that just by saying the word capture? I mean years ago. Wow.

    Love the photo tip. Is there a way to be able to frame your photo before siri snaps it? I tried the preview 'on', but I then have to manually push the 'shutter'.

    Thank for this great video. Regretfully ‘hang up’ is not available in Dutch although I have IOS 16.2
