When the iPhones started evolving, one of the features that were introduced, was voice control. Now, initially, the voice control was very surface level, in the sense that there were fixed commands that you could speak into your iPhone, and that particular instruction would be carried out, and that was that. However, the whole game changed when Apple evolved the humble voice command feature to a full-fledged voice assistant – Siri.
Siri emulates a real-life person living within your iPhone, more like a personal assistant. You can ask Siri to perform local tasks like opening apps, or read out your messages and announce calls. But, the real deal lies in the not-so-local tasks, like searching for something on the internet, booking a table at a restaurant, playing and controlling media playback, and much much more.
Initially, you can have to long-press a button on the iPhone, to activate Siri, but today, thanks to upgrades to the Siri platform, you can now simply say “Hey Siri”, and the voice assistant will fire up.
