Hey Siri

[nviz22]

Do people use this function when charging their iPhones? I feel like if I use it, it would be very sparingly. I am waiting for iOS 9 to expand voice controls to pick up "Hey Siri" from any screen without being charged.

I use it when driving if I need to send a text or navigate.

Never even been turned on for my iPhone 6+.

I do use Siri as it works via a button in my LX when my phone is linked via BT.

I don't use it. I'm not even really very fond of Siri in general.

I use it in the car mostly for phone calls or texts. My phone is jailbroken, so I have "UntetheredHeySiri" installed, which allows you to use it whether it's plugged in or not.

I turned it on the other day when I was painting and playing music, but it was more of a PITA then anything.

Siri play "so and so"
Siri searches something on the internet
*I should louder/clearer*
SIRI PLAY SO AND SO
*Plays music but the completely wrong song/album I asked for*

I just washed my hands and did it the old fashioned way

Ah okay, I am not too keen on jailbreaking my 5C since I don't use as my daily driver nor do I want to jailbreak another product because I never used it when I had the iPad 4. Heck, even my Note 4 is not even rooted.

I plug in my phone on my nightstand when I go to sleep. Before falling asleep, I'll sometimes ask "hey siri, what's the weather going to be like tomorrow?" or "hey siri, wake me up at 7".

This is basically the only time i use it, to set my alarm from a distance.

I use Siri often for many things throughout the day, but at night when my phone is charging I don't see the use for "Hey Siri" unless to set an alarm or reminder, if the phone is in my hand I will just press the home button for 3 seconds, seems easier.

I use it quite a lot to set reminders, alarms, make notes and to read any notifications I may have.

I think it's one of the best features of iOS 8.

Me too. The Google voice app works much better when I am interested in using my voice to search, or get directions. The speech recognition is way better than Apple's implementation - particularly if there's background noise.

By far the best use for Hey Siri is to turn off your alarm without having to get out of bed in the morning.

Apart from that, I just use it in the car to dial or change album - in NSW it's illegal even to touch your phone to activate Siri with the hardware button!

Turning off the alarm without getting out of bed would be a problem for some. I can see how it would be handy, but I need to get up and turn mine off for a reason!
