Siri Gets Even More Smart
Over the times, Siri has got smarter to understand the user requirement. Siri now displays relevant suggestions as you use the voice search frequently. Besides just searching something in the browser, you can now search anything in your iPhone or iPad. Just for an instance, “Show me videos of Arun’s birthday party” and it will show the videos of it. You can also search by speaking the album name, date, folder etc. In fact, when you use Siri frequently, it will suggest what to do next even before you ask.
For example, if you have a habit of checking your social media profiles in the morning hours and when you open Siri, it will automatically suggest you to open the social media profiles. Additionally, it will also show official results in case if you are searching for scores or weather updates in your iPhone or iPad.
Make Notes from Anywhere:
Using notes in iOS9 is not all about typing the text and setting a reminder now, there is a lot more to experience. You can now add photo, URL, map, sketch your thoughts and even some things you need for a birthday party or a meeting to take along. And you can access the notes of any one of the Apple devices because they are automatically synced to iCloud.
