Ever since I got my iPhone4S in August, I have been playing with Siri to see what she can do or what she will say back when I ask her certain things. For those that have an iPhone with the Siri option, here are some things that she can do that you might not know.
- Send text messages – If you want to use your voice to send a text, use Siri to send anyone in your contacts a text message. I have used this when I was stuck in traffic and had to send a message to my daughter that I was on my way since I do not text and drive.
- Check email, send replies, and compose new mail – Now I haven’t used Siri for my email since I prefer to use Thunderbird, but it is possible. I might have to try it out just for fun.
- Set & delete alarms – With your voice you can have Siri set an alarm on our phone as well as delete your set alarms. This was the first thing I did with Siri to see how it worked but haven’t used it since.
- Update your Facebook & Twitter status – For those of you that have Facebook or Twitter setup on your iPhone, you can use Siri to send an update to your Facebook wall or send a Tweet to your followers.
- Get the weather and time anywhere – If you want to know what time it is in China, Siri will tell you.
- Find movie times – Want to find out what time a certain movie is playing, you can ask Siri and she will give you the times.
- Find restaurants, stores and more – If you are looking for a particular location such as Walmart, ask Siri where Walmart is and she will give you all the locations nearby.
- Look up sports scores – For those of you that sports, Siri can help you find the sports scores you are looking for. I haven’t asked my Siri to do this yet, but I may one day.
- Open the camera app – Tell Siri to take a photo and she will open the photo app on your phone.
These are just some of the things I have found that Siri can do. I also have found it entertaining to ask Siri certain questions just to hear the response I will get.
For those of you with an iPhone and Siri, what have you asked her to do for you? Or maybe you have a funny conversation you want to share too!

Once the How To Train Your Dragon show started my son was very excited and kept his eyes on the arena floor the whole time. The beginning of the show doesn’t start out with the dragons as I had originally thought it would. It starts with some neat drawings by the vikings on the backdrop that come to life to create a great entrance for the show to begin.
