Siri can also answer ordinary questions, the answers to which the assistant takes on the Internet. You can ask the voice assistant anything, and he will try to answer every request as clearly and correctly as possible.

The Siri function is available in Russian starting from iOS versions 8.3 and higher. This personal assistant, which can be controlled by voice. Positioned as the artificial intelligence of your IPhone, with which you can communicate and recognize various information. In fact, this innovation also caused a lot of criticism and ridicule, especially due to the peculiarities of the Russian language.

You can fully configure and use Siri on iPhone 6 and higher. It works with some limitations on older phones, as well as the iPad and iPod Touch.

Setting up Siri

Before you start using Siri, you need to enable and configure it:

Go to Settings on your iPhone and click Siri.
Turn all the sliders to the on position (Siri, On Lock Screen, Allow: Hey Siri).
Next, the program setup procedure will begin. Follow the instructions on the screen. You will need to clearly pronounce the suggested phrases several times in order for the program to work correctly in the future.

Siri is available on iPhone 4s and above, iPad Pro, iPad Air and later, iPod Touch 5th generation and later. However, the voice calling feature only fully works on iPhone 6 and above; on older devices it only works if they are connected to a charger. On iPad, iPad2 and iPad mini function voice call not supported.

Ways to contact an assistant:

Clearly say “Hey Siri” (if supported).
Press and hold the Home button and question options will appear on the screen. Or you can set your own. Depending on the model, you can simply say, or you may need to click on the microphone icon on the screen each time. If Siri is ready to accept commands, then on the screen you will see a colored horizontal bar depicting sound wave.
If you have a headset with a remote control, press and hold the center button or the call button until sound signal. After this you can speak commands. For AirPods headphones Just double-click on the surface of one of the headphones.
For vehicles equipped with technology: press and hold the voice command button on the steering wheel or, if vehicle equipped touch screen, press and hold Home. To improve perception in noisy conditions, the program will speak commands for confirmation. Click on the sound wave if you want to indicate that you have finished speaking.

You can also customize the language, audio feedback and call announcements. For some countries, voice selection is available, but for the Russian language only female has been developed so far. To enable call announcements, go to “Settings”, then “Phone”, “Call Announcements” and select the desired option.

Siri is integrated into many applications. This can be allowed or prohibited in the appropriate paragraphs. For example, if you move the screen to the right, under the usual search bar you will see “Siri Suggestions” and a panel with icons. These are the most necessary programs, in her opinion, but this does not always coincide with your opinion. To disable these offers, do the following:

Go to “Settings”, “General”.
Select Spotlight Search.
Move the Siri Suggestions slider to the Off position.
While you're at it, you can see if you need Spotlight Suggestions in your search.
Here you can configure which applications will not be displayed in the results.

If you don’t need not only suggestions, but also the electronic assistant itself, then you can turn it off completely by moving the slider in the “Settings” menu - Siri. Removing audio feedback means disabling Siri in silent mode. By default, this option is activated along with the assistant itself.

Using Siri

The most interesting thing is what features the electronic assistant offers. The developers have endowed the application with wit and a friendly communication style. It’s hard to say whether they use it for convenience or, rather, for entertainment and lifting the mood.

Here basic commands, with which Siri will help you control your phone or tablet:

These are just example commands to show areas of opportunity. Pronounce commands clearly and ask for clarifications. Siri often asks for confirmation whether she understood the command correctly. And you can also ask her general and tricky questions. Just for fun, try asking the following:

Siri, are you smart?
What's wrong with Apple?
Who made the best computer?
I want to sleep.
What came first, the egg or the chicken?
How old are you?
Tell a joke.
Tell me a story.
Okay Google.

Ask tricky questions several times and she will have a variety of answers. There is such an interesting function on Apple devices. Allows you not only to control your phone using your voice, but also to have a little fun and lift your spirits. If you know more interesting teams and unusual Siri responses, give your examples in the comments.

Despite four years of waiting, users are exploring the possibilities with interest Russian speaking Siri. Surely, the personal assistant will have significantly more fans after its release of the public version of iOS 8.3.

It must be said that Siri can not only listen, but also respond. Unlike other tongue-tied assistants, Apple's development is very adaptive and intelligent in its approach to conversation. These are not just requests and template execution of actions, but full-fledged dialogues with jokes. We have collected some of the funniest examples on the Internet.

Siri has answers not only to classic requests, for example, to dial someone or launch an application. She even tries to read minds:

Siri operates according to its own rules and adheres to certain principles. She even has laws that she probably follows from time to time:

In addition to some naive jokes and quite original answers, the voice assistant can tell fairy tales:

As befits a faithful assistant, Siri is always ready to help the smartphone owner. She is so attentive that she doesn’t even have time to sleep. Apparently, even your own fairy tales cannot serve as a reason to take a little break:

But, apparently, sometimes she can allow herself to be distracted from her immediate responsibilities in order to have fun:

In some Siri questions very evasive:

She tolerates flattery:

Although she is not ready to move to the next stage of the relationship. Moreover, her answer hints that there are many people willing, but she is alone:

Despite the fact that her task is to help find the answer to almost any questions, she simply ignores some:

Siri doesn't like to talk about herself:

Although, Siri competitors doesn’t really like it and even gets a little offended if you don’t address her the way she’s used to:

Some of her answers can reach the depths of the soul, you just need to find the right approach:

As a bonus, Siri sings songs:

On the one hand, the usefulness of such comments and answers is questionable, since the smartphone is designed to help the user quickly complete certain tasks, and not distract him with lengthy conversations about nothing. On the other hand, this feature of the voice assistant acts as a kind of “trick” that, at a minimum, looks fresh. In addition, such capabilities, although programmed, with the development artificial intelligence may find more functional applications. Until then, Siri jokes will remain another way of entertainment for owners of Apple gadgets.
