Useful stuff, like:
  • Setting the timer.
  • Add items to Reminders shopping list.
  • And other quick reminders.
  • A quick note to myself
  • Ask the time, when driving and wanting to keep my eyes on the road.
  • Dictation for messages and posts.
  • Start Flashlight app in the dark.
  • Play (music, artist, playlist) when walking.

Misc not really useful things, like:
  • Roll the dice
  • Flip a coin
  • Get a random number.


Ask silly questions, like:
  • What is the Force?
  • What's my name?
  • Why did the chicken cross the road?
  • And other stuff when I think of them.

I have mine set to Chinese to hear Siri speak my native language for fun. I don't use Siri otherwise.

Siri will type for me when I get sick of pecking out letters or my thumbs are sore.It's to embarrassing to use in public though.People look at me funny when I talk to my ipad3. .Funny when I first got it I didn't know about siri and when she asked me by name "how can I help you I freaked and immediately shut down my ipad.lol:)

I used it once to send a test text to a friend in my iPad. I guess I will need to practice more lol.

I don't have it on any of my devices, but many of my friends do, and from what I've heard they always forget about it!

Ha ha!!! YUP!!

Find the nearest Starbucks, library, Italian restaurant, etc.

I like to ask her "who does this iPad belong to?"among other silly things... My phone does the same. I are easily amused...sigh. I saved myself from bumping into furniture one night when a circuit tripped, and it was too dark to see. The iPad was on a bedside table, and me yelling at Siri, gave me enough light to see well enough to reach my flash light. L
