For all iPhone users, I am truly delighted to announce to you that your virtual assistant, Siri, is not just there for display or for feature-adding. As many of us already know, Siri helps its users to be more efficient, to be hands-free, and to have more time on more important things. But do you know that Siri can ultimately help you to transform you and to be your most productive? In this article, you will be informed and educated on how you can make Siri help you to make the most out of your smartphone usage.
For starters, who is Siri?
Siri is the voice-controlled personal assistant of Apple and she/he, has been around for quite some time now. Almost all iPhone users, and previous users have spoken with Siri; they do not know who it is until CNN found audio forensic experts’ help to back up the claims that the voice behind the worldly-known voice is Susan Bennett.

Siri can do a lot of things for you, she is a personal assistant, so you can expect that she can do things like compose a text message for you, call someone in your contacts list, search something for you, etc. Siri can perform things that assistants do, only virtual.
Raise to Speak
The known way of activating Siri is by a long-press to the home button, right? Did you know that you can actually activate Siri just by raising your iPhone up to your ear only when you are not making a phone call. Her voice will emerge from the earpiece, not the speaker and there, you can have Siri assist you.
To activate this gesture, if it is off, go to Settings > General > Siri scroll until you find “Raise to Speak” button, turn it ON.
