iOS 10 has just completed its first month officially installed on our iPhone and iPad devices. With the new operating system many new features have arrived. Some of them are highly visible and prominent, such as the renewal of the Music app, the new notification center with its widgets, the news in Photos or Maps, and so on. But others are not in plain sight, although they can be even more useful than the previous ones.
I mean the virtual assistant Siri which, since the launch of iOS 10, is compatible with third-party applications. And many developers have already got down to work and have updated their apps allowing users to use Siri with them.
You can now use Siri in third-party apps
Because Siri has been compatible with third-party apps for a relatively short time (although it was already so during the beta phase that started in mid-June), there are still few apps that have already integrated the assistant virtual voice.
In addition, I am sure that many of you still do not know exactly which applications are compatible with Siri, and which are not. So let's do a review but remember, this list is open and will continue to expand to new applications as time goes on.
Siri-compatible apps on iOS 10
Viber
Viber is an instant messaging service that has been with us for a long time. It is free, however, despite having incorporated free calls years before WhatsApp, it has not achieved the success of it.
The "king" of instant messaging already allows us to interact with Siri. Once we have given permission from Settings -> Siri, we can send messages and make calls just by asking our assistant.
Skype or Whatsapp
There is little to say about Skype, another instant messaging and calling app, owned by Microsoft, and heir to the old Messenger that many of you will still remember.
Yelp
One of the best applications / services to locate places of interest and above all, read and publish recommendations and ratings.
Professional social network par excellence, although it is a bit in the doldrums.
Runtastic GPS Running, Jogging and Fitness Tracker (and also its PRO version)
One of the best known and most used applications to perform a complete track your workouts and physical activity: time, distance, speed, calories burned and much more. In addition, you can use it in a wide variety of activities using the GPS (running, walking, cycling ...)
Telegram Messenger
From my point of view, the best instant messaging app that exists today. And now it is even more so by being compatible with Siri.
Airmail
Airmail is one of the most popular email managers currently. With Siri, you can send new messages or reply to received emails quickly.
Social network focused on photography, infographics, illustrations, etc.
Seven - 7 Minute Workout Training Challenge
"Seven" is an application that promises to get you in shape in just a few months. It is based on the system of the same name thanks to which you must spend seven minutes each day exercising. Of course, you should be constant, no "I'll do it tomorrow."
Pocket Yoga
And if you prefer something calmer than those seven minutes of intense exercise that Seven offers, Pocket Yoga is for you, «a simple application that allows users to practice various yoga positions at your own pace from anywhere. It's the best way to relax after a long day.
And in addition, they are also compatible with Siri:
- Fancy
- Venmo
- zenly
- Map My Run
- Square Cash
- Roger
- iCalorie
- Golfshot Plus
- Between
- Crew
- lark
- tappsi
- Voque runaway
- numflix
- Slopes
- sky fit
I admit that I have never been a fan of Siri (or any assistant for the kind that involves talking to a device), and despite the fact that to Mossberg Siri look a bit sillyPerhaps now it will be able to show its full potential and who knows! I still incorporate it into my day to day life.
I can't download siri and I can't chat
