The online payment service PayPal recently published a updated version of your application for iOS with the novelty of Siri integration, which will now allow users to use Apple's assistant to send and request money through this service. As noted on the official PayPal blog, Siri's integration with the new PayPal app allows iPhone and iPad users to send and request money using nothing more than their voice.
The company offers a number of Examples of command strings that can be used with Siri to launch the new feature. These are: "Hey Siri", "Send payment of 50 euros using PayPal", "Use PayPal to send 125 euros to Marta for the supermarket" or "Request 20 euros to Dad with PayPal". What is not clear is whether the new feature supports the new capabilities that Siri has been given, such as contextual responses and a greater understanding of longer queries.
This update makes access to your PayPal account just a few words away. Thanks to this, users can easily divide accounts in restaurants, pay bills to friends, share expenses in any activity and more possibilities, according to the company.
At the time of update release, this voice integration with Siri has been made available in multiple languages for 30 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French and Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English and French), China, Denmark, Finland (Finland), France, Germany, Hong Kong (Cantonese), India, Israel (in Hebrew), Italy, Japan, Malaysia (Malay), Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia (Arabic), Singapore (English), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German and Italian), Thailand, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates United States (Arabic) and the United States.
PayPal and Siri integration is almost there two months later that Apple officially open APIs Siri for developers outside the company. Interestingly, PayPal, a subsidiary of Venmo, was the first to integrate Siri.
The payments app can be downloaded for free from the iOS App Store.
