never and I don't know anyone that uses these virtual assistants. This includes the Google version as well.

They put a lot of emphasizes on what it can do but I don't see the purpose, rather just do things myself.
 
I use hands free Siri regularly. Great for checking messages or notifications without picking up the iPhone.
 
never....i find when i did try and use it i wasted more time trying to get siri to do exactly what i wanted....plus i like interacting with the device myself, you get to learn more about the little features when you do that way.
 
I yell at her across the room to set an alarm or timer, but other than that I don't use her much. We had a disagreement and are not speaking

Extremely rarely and I presume this is the case for most people. Most of the time I see/hear it being used in public is when a group of women are laughing at some cute response it gives to a specific query that they heard about on Facebook.
 
I use her to set alarms,create reminders and set dates in my calendar.

If I'm holding my son and I can't get to my phone I use her to send messages and make calls over the speaker.
 
I very rarely use Siri. When I do, I get frustrated because she doesn't understand my question and subsequently I don't get an appropriate answer.
I'd probably use it more if I knew what Siri is most useful for.
 
Pathetic feature, even more so out of the US. Don't use it at all.
 
i dont use it. everytime it askes me to open my iphone at first and it would be much easier just to grab it and do it manually. it doesnt work with atv either (in my country). quite useless for me. i have tried using it while out - with earpods and the phone is inside my pocket, but it refuse to work, more like 90% failure. and you have to carefully choose your words so that it understands it.
