iOS 10: Siri brings new tricks to the voice control game

Siri receives a much-needed upgrade with iOS 10. Apple’s voice assistant can do a lot more than before. Let’s break down on all the new features available in Siri.

Apple has introduced a deep neural network, which will offer enhanced voice interpretation and better Siri responses.

Apple has also made its voice-assistant Siri, open to all app developers with iOS 10. It gave developers a chance to add Siri integrations in third-party apps. This implies that you can now use non-Apple apps such as WhatsApp, Zomato and LinkedIn for various purposes.

For example, you could now place a call and send messages via WhatsApp, with Siri. You can also order food from Zomato with a simple voice command. “Where can I order a burger” will bring up all the nearest places in your location which serve burgers.

With Uber integration, you can now hail for a car ride, using voice commands. Additionally, LinkedIn lets you send messages via Siri as well. Siri brings in Twitter integration with iOS 10. You can now tweet without opening the app, from the lock screen itself.

Not many Indian apps are offering Siri integration at the moment.
