Siri, the personal assistant

What is Siri? Siri is a built-in assistant used with Apple iPhones, iPad, and iPod Touch that allows they users to speak their voice commands to get information or to navigate through the device and apps. Siri interacts with people by just double clicking the home button or simply saying "Hey Siri". Siri allows tasks to be done hands free and helps schedule your life.

Jobs of Siri Siri does a lot, she is right there at the tips of your finger when you need her. She can read texts and emails to you, text someone, answer any questions (whether its sports or showtimes to who sings a song), schedule appointments, set alarms, and can even tell you a joke. Not only helps you now but she can also help you in the future.

Siri throughout the years We first saw Siri back in October of 2014, as a feature of the iPhone 4s. Siri has "matured" after many years of being out in the public. Over the years has a better understanding of tasks, more jobs and tricks, and how to respond to a diverse group. When a new iOS comes out, Siri becomes bigger and better. Currently the newest iOS 10 came out September 2016 and Siri has some more tricks up her sleeve. Some new things you can do is controlling non-Apple apps, hailing a Uber or Lyft, send cash or even go to Pinterest.

Downfalls of Siri Siri is a great personal assistant, but sometimes there are some problems that come along. She does have some listening problems, with background noise and accents Siri does have a difficult time hearing the command or question. Siri is learning a lot as years go on, but the problem is she doesn't know every answer so a good amount of questions default to search the Web and with that comes Internet connection.
