At WWDC 2.15, Apple has unveiled some new functions of the approaching iOS 9, including Siri. In iOS 9, you can let Siri remind you of what you need to do later or a conference. How amazing and intelligent. However, you can let Siri do more for you. Using nothing but your voice, you can now use Siri to find photos based on where or when they were taken, ask Siri to remind you about things, get public transit directions, find friends or family, and more. Next, we will show you 5 new features of Siri in iOS 9.
Find photos and videos by taken date or location with Siri
Instead of manually searching for photos or videos by date or location in the Photos app, you can simply ask Siri to show you photos or videos taken at a specific location or on a specific date, including the exact day, month or year.
Just ask Siri “Show me videos I took at school recital.” Or, “Show me photos from my new home last week,” and Siri will show you the correct videos and photos. You can get even more specific and ask Siri “Show me photos I took on August 26, 2015,” and she’ll display all the photos taken on that day.Pretty intelligent, right?
Create contextual reminders in Safari, Notes and Mail with Siri
As I mentioned above, you can let Siri remind you what are you are doing on your iPhone at the time of your request.You can be very specific by asking Siri to remind you about something at a specific time, say 4pm, or when you reach a specific location, say when you get to the office, home, etc. You can use Siri to set contextual reminders in Safari, Notes and Mail and she’ll create them in the Reminders app where you can simply check them off once done.
Ask Siri for public transit directions
Although limited to select countries and cities right now, public transit directions and information are available in Apple Maps in iOS 9. The good news is, you can ask Siri to tell you which subway or bus to take to reach your destination and she’ll serve up the correct info right in the Maps app.
Ask Siri to find your friends or family
Starting with iOS 9, Apple’s Find My Friends app comes pre-installed as a native app and, if you use the app to keep up with friends’ and family’s whereabouts, you can ask Siri to show you where someone is simply by asking “Where is (enter friends’ name here)?” Siri will show their location with a marker on a map.
Fast calculations and conversions
In iOS 9, Siri no longer uses the third-party computational knowledge engine, WolframAlpha, to perform simple calculations and unit conversions. Instead, she handles this natively and delivers results a bit faster to boot. Give Siri’s new math prowess a try by asking her perform multiplication or ask her to convert a U.S. dollar amount to British pounds, or anything else you can think of.
You can try those new features as long as you update your iPhone or iPad to the new iOS 9, which will be released this fall. Let's expect for it. If you have any problems, comment here.
