Siri, the virtual assistant for devices manzana, it is a strong competition to the other smart assistants like Alexa or Google Assistants. With voice commands, Siri can perform actions customized by the usersuch as calling or texting a contact.

While users with iOS devices can press a button to invoke Siri, the most convenient is to activate voice access. In the mobile configuration, in the section “Siri and Search” can enable the phrase “Hey Siri.”so that the assistant starts listening to the order.

Another way to make using Siri easier is let the phone listen even when it is locked, and that can be set from the Siri Preferences. So it is not even necessary to have the mobile phone in hand to be heard by the device.

The magic words of the flashlight

The curious thing about Siri is that in addition to the most famous commands, it also works with very specific words. It is the case of the word ‘Lumos’ to turn on the lanternjust like in the magical universe of Harry Potter.

Since there are no mobile phones in the fictional wizarding world, wizards light up their wands by saying “Lumos”. To turn off the lights, they say ‘Nox’which is exactly the same word that Muggles, meaning people with no magical powers, must use when asking Siri to turn off her flashlight.

Believe it or not, this voice command can be useful on more than one occasion. Maybe if the power goes out and you don’t have your cell phone to hand, or if you’ve lost your device and want to turn on Siri to locate it.
