Watch. You can easily ask Siri to send a message, and it’ll write the message and send it for you. Just say something like “Tell Mom I’m on my way.” After that, Siri will write the message and ask you if that’s what you want to send. All without even looking at your iPhone! 7. Use Siri for Your Math Homework With Siri, it’s easier than ever to do basic calculations. For example, you can ask to add, subtract, or multiply any numbers, and Siri will give the answers you need. A simple command like “What’s 32 times 57” will make Siri do the hard work for you. 6. Control Your Music With Siri Siri is a great tool to find the name of new songs instantly. You can ask Siri something like, “What song is this,” and it will tell you the name of the song and the artists. Not only that but it’ll be automatically stored in your Shazam app too. Likewise, you can use Siri to play music without ever taking out your iPhone. For example, if you’re using Apple Music, you can ask Siri to “Play rock music, skip this track, play my work playlists,” and many other options to control what you want to hear from your wrist. 5. Use Siri to Search on Google Believe it or not, Siri also works to search through the web and get the information you need. You can ask Siri things like “What causes rainbows?” or “Who was Napoleon Bonaparte?” and you’ll get a brief explanation of what Siri thinks might answer your questions. 4. Ask Siri to Make Phone Calls Instead of texting, you can ask Siri to call anyone if you have your hands full. You can say something like “Call my sister,” and Siri will make the phone call right on your Apple Watch. You won’t even need to use your iPhone to talk. Instead, you can answer and hang up calls from your Apple Watch too. 3. Check Emails With Siri Siri can also help you check your latest emails with a single command. You can ask Siri to “Show me my email” or “Check my email,” and you’ll get a small list of your latest emails on your wrist. You can also ask for specific emails and people like “Show me the email from Justin” or “Do I have any emails from Robert” and Siri will do the rest. 2. Ask Siri About Your Update This is a cool Siri command that everyone should try. You can ask Siri about your “update.” Siri will tell you what your reminders are, what’s the weather is like, travel time, and even short news updates. It’s a perfect way to start off the day. All you need to ask Siri is “What’s my update” and listen to what Siri has to say. 1. Ask Siri What Siri Can Do No one knows Siri better than Siri. If you want to find out what other cool features and commands Siri has under its sleeve, you can ask Siri itself. Just say something like, “What kinds of things can I ask you” and Siri will show you a link where you can learn more about it. Yes, you can open the link on your Apple Watch, but you might want to read it on something with a larger display, like your iPhone.
