Apple iOS Siri
Looking to get more out of your Siri experience? 

You're not alone! Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, has become a game-changing feature for many of us, allowing us to do everything from sending texts to setting appointments with ease. 

However, for individuals with disabilities or those who may have difficulty speaking clearly, 
Siri's default settings may not be enough. 

Here's a Cool Tip: Change Siri's Pause Time.

The Siri Accessibility setting for Siri pause length allows you to adjust the time required between the user's spoken words before Siri stops listening. 

This can be incredibly helpful for those who need more time to gather their thoughts, speak clearly, or those who may have difficulty speaking due to a disability.

To access this setting, navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Siri, and then select Longer or Longest.

Settings -> Siri

You'll need to try each setting to see what works best for you.

The Siri Accessibility setting for Siri pause length is a powerful tool that can improve the experience for many users.  

So, go ahead and give it a try – you might be surprised at how much it can improve your Siri experience.

Enjoy!

Restart Your iPhone with Siri

Siri icon
It happens to all of us from time to time.  Your iPhone freezes up or acts wonky.

The only solution?

Restart.

But how do you restart an iPhone?

There's the tried and true manual way which I'll explain in a moment.  

But let's just say it requires a bit of manual dexterity to accomplish.

So first I'll share the Cool Tip to do it the easy new way with Siri.

Here's how you do it.

Restart your iPhone - Siri
  • First, say Hey Siri to activate Siri.
  • Next, say Restart iPhone.
  • Then say Yes when Siri prompts you to confirm.

You'll need to be on the latest IOS version16 or greater for this to work.  

And if your iPhone is locked, you'll need to unlock it first.

But Siri is really your friend when you need to restart your iPhone.

And what if you want to restart the "old fashioned" way?

Here's how you do it.

Restart your iPhone - Manually

  • Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
  • Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. ...
  • To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.

That's it!

Apple Updates Siri to Screen for the COVID19 Corona Virus

Apple Siri
Apple has updated Siri, its virtual digital assistant, to screen for the COVID19 virus.

To use the new feature, just ask Siri, "Do I have the Corona Virus?"

Siri will then ask a series of Yes/No screening questions developed based on CDC criteria. 

Users who answer "yes" to these questions, like those referencing COVID-19 symptoms, are advised to self-isolate, monitor the situation, or contact a medical provider if the condition worsens, are age 65 or over, or have a serious medical condition.

Siri can be found on Apple's iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems and devices.

This Hack Will Let You Use Siri Hands-Free Even on Older iPhones and Not Be Connected to Power

Siri - One Cool Tip - http://www.onecooltip.com
One of the cooler features of the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus is the ability to use Siri hands-free without being plugged in.

Earlier iPhone models such as the 5, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus only allow the voice-activated Siri while the device is plugged in for power.

But there is a cool hack that allows the older devices to activate Siri with the "Hey, Siri" command.

Here's how to do it.


  1. Ensure that the "Hey Siri" command is enabled in settings (Settings, General, Siri, Allow "Hey Siri")
  2. Press the home button once to activate Siri and ask a simple question like "What Time is It?"
  3. After Siri answers, Siri will accept the "Hey Siri" command for another question.
  4. You can continue to ask Siri questions, hands-free, and not be connected to power.
  5. If the screen times out and locks, you'll no longer be able to use this trick.  You can change the length of time for the lock screen in settings.


Of course, the reason that Apple requires Siri to be connected to power in the older models is to conserve battery strength.  But there are times when this hands-free trick can be handy, like in the kitchen.

So enjoy!
