Is there a way to turn OFF shuffle or repeat with Siri? When I’m driving, I want to play an album from start to finish without repeat and without shuffling. But if my last settings were with shuffle or repeat turned on, when I ask siri to play an album or an artist, those settings are carried over. It’s maddening that I cannot do this.
Is it possible to send a text message without actually clicking the send button?
I pay my parking via my iphone but is does not automatically stop when I drive away. Can Siri remind me to stop parking when I return to the parking place?
Is there a way to get siri to ” Call mom on Speaker”?
There’s “tell a joke command”.
Mine wont tell me the date or time, says it doesn’t know for my address
turn location services off then back on for Siri.
Thanks for these. Just got my 4S today, and your list is a very good introduction. Looks exhaustive.
Although the list looks exhaustive, you will be surprised by more things Siri can help you with. Just keep talking to her to find out.
Suddenly the command “Read my new message” will SOMETIMES result in a reading of my last OUTGOING message. I can’t find a solution to this. Am I the only one?
Where is the funny commands list?
Cool siri commands bro… but are these all siri commands though?
No. I have a 4S of my own and u can ask her a whole slew of things. If u saw a random, awkward question, she say the funniest things.
This is great list of comands thanks!
This is the best full list of Siri Commands I have found that formats nicely on my phone. You should add a special list of funny Siri Commands.
We plan to add some more funny commands over the weekend. Stay tuned!
Great post, thanks! I really want to know some more funny names for Siri to call me. Also, when will Siri work on my iPad? Wehn will Siri work on Android?
I don’t think Siri will ever be offered on Android but maybe official support for the iPad is coming in a week or so.
