Users looking to get the most out of Siri may want to check out Hey-Siri.io, a new website that launched in July. Hey-Siri.io features a comprehensive list of many of the different Siri commands that are available, giving iOS and Mac users a quick way to discover all of the different things Siri can do.

Organized into categories like Apps & App Store, HomeKit, Notifications, Conversion, Messaging, Calendar, Translation, and more. Each section, which can be scrolled through on a single page, includes a range of different Siri commands relevant to each category.

When using Siri, Apple includes a list of sample commands in a "Some things you can ask me" popup, but it only scrolls through a handful of messages and isn't as comprehensive or useful as the Hey-Siri.io website. Hundreds of commands are included on the site, including some of Siri's more humorous responses to questions like "Knock, Knock" or "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

While Siri is only available on iOS devices at the current time, starting this fall, Siri will also be available on Macs through macOS Sierra. Hey-Siri.io includes both iOS and Mac commands, and switching between them can be done using the Settings button on the site.

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't include any of the Siri Apple TV commands
 
Need an option which Siri commands are available for each iOS version. Not everyone can upgrade to iOS 9 or higher.
 
I find Siri very useful for reminders.
Before Siri it was a bit of a faff having to setup a reminder, setting the date, time, alarm etc.
Now I just ask Siri to remind me.
e.g. Watching TV, there's an ad for an upcoming program, I want to watch it, so I ask Siri to remind me. It's the height of laziness and I love it.
It's about the only thing I use it for. Other stuff is just gimmicky.
I've tried using it in the car to play music or look up an address but it struggles in that environment due to background noise. I can see it being of more use there in the future for me (when I finally get CarPlay and a mic that works in the car better).
 
Is there a reason they say "maths" instead of just plain "math"? I've also been seeing this a lot on Quora lately. Am I missing something? Growing up I always heard it called math.

E.g. Mom:"Hey how did you do on your math test? Did you get a good grade?" Me:"No I flunked it." Mom:"Oh that's too bad, here's a cookie."

That's the British flavoured abbreviation for mathematics.

In a sense the British version is more technically correct given that the full word is mathematics (rather than mathematic). But math sounds better in the sense that's what people are used to hearing and using in parts where that is used (basically United States).
 
This hey-siri.io is a great site - well set out and I have learnt new tricks already, saved as bookmark - thanks macrumors
 
Searching for Chinese Restaurants in your area!

I wish Siri was more relaxed about what you had to say.

"Switch On the Office Lights" seems to be not recognised, whereas "Turn on the Office Lights" is. That's not very Intelligent, is it?

Also, "What's the temperature Outside" got local Weather Forecast from Yahoo, whereas "What's the temperature in the Back Garden" got my external temperature sensor... I've mixed feelings about that one.
[doublepost=1470134985][/doublepost]Also, not really a Siri Gripe, but I wish I could just say "Hey Siri, Continue reading from this page." when I get in the car, and have her switch to voiceover for my iBooks

Brits say a lot of **** that sounds weird to US ears. Every time I hear a certain podcaster say “whilst,” I want to punch him in the face. Good thing it’s just a podcast and I can’t reach him.

Just like Ameicans say various things that sound stange to the Brits, or Australians, despite English being the basis of the language that is used in those countries.
