When it comes to new features in iOS 9, there aren't a ton to shout about
0:07
Siri however is ready to surprise you with some handy new additions
0:10
So here's a quick look at some of Siri's new tricks. Let's get started
0:16
Firstly, Siri can now help you find photos on your iPhone by time or location
0:23
For example, show me all of the photos taken last week, or show me all of the photos taken
0:28
in Florida. And within seconds, Siri brings up exactly what you want
0:33
Next up, Siri is going to earn the title of best assistant by reminding you to do certain
0:38
tasks when you reach or leave a location. For example, remind me to take out the rubbish when I get home
0:45
Siri already knows where you live and work by the amount of time you spend in those places
0:50
and will remind you when you reach those destinations, which is much more accurate than setting reminders
0:56
at set times. If, like me, you come across certain articles or messages you would like to read at a better
1:01
time, you can ask Siri to remind you to read that content later, including Safari web pages
1:08
iMessages, Mail and Notes. Siri will now offer suggestions for people you might want to contact along with which
1:15
apps you might want to use. To see how clever Siri is, swipe over to the left of your home screen and Siri will provide
1:22
choices based on apps you use the most and people you frequently speak to
1:26
Google's virtual assistant now allows you to ask for public transit directions
1:31
For example, get me directions to Manchester. Siri will bring up the suggested route as usual, but now there is a new tab for transit
1:39
So if you need to use public transport, Siri is there to help relieve some of the stress
1:45
Siri now pulls up sports scores without being redirected to an external website, along with
1:50
converting measurements including weight, height and any other unit of measurement for
1:54
that matter. Finally, if you've got a shiny new iPhone 6s, you'll already be enjoying the wonder
2:01
of Hey Siri, where you can ask Siri a question at any time without holding in the home button
2:07
But if you have an older iPhone, you can do this whilst the phone is connected to power
2:12
by going to General, Settings, Siri and turning on Allow Hey Siri, which is super useful when
2:19
you're out driving. So there you have it, all the new tricks that Siri can pull off in iOS 9
2:25
