An of the news more interesting that come along with iOS 10 is the integration of Siri with applications of third. For now, Apple does not allow that we try a function which will allow us, for example, ask Siri to send a WhatsApp to someone without having to enter the application, but it allowed it is Nathan Olivarez-Giles, of The Wall Street Journal, who has shared with us his impressions.
Olvarez-Giles says that among the first applications that will include support for Siri there are many important, as WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest or Slack, but also there will be available almost from a principle others less known as Looklive or The Roll. Runtastic also said that would be compatible soon, by what can tell you to Siri “go to train with it bike” and us open directly the application and start a session of cycling.
IOS 10 will have many things to tell Siri
On the other hand, the editor of WSJ also says that now Siri understands better what we say, as “Siri, show me pictures of what took Kanye West VMA awards this year in Looklive,” which showed him what was wearing rapper and links for buying the clothes. In the majority of cases, Siri shows the information without leaving their interface, something like when asked to send a tweet or to find us photos of something on the internet. Also says something that seems logical to me: ask things Siri is faster than doing things manually.
Applications that support Siri since autumn
The applications that Apple has announced that will be compatible with Siri in autumn-I hope that this means starting from this same month-will be:
Messaging applications
- Slack
Application of payments Mobile
- Square Cash
- Monzó
In both cases, before making the payment we will ask that use our footprint.
Applications to search photos
- Vogue Runway
- Looklive
- The Roll
- Pikazo
When is show them results, can touch on any image to open the application in question.
Over time they will be more and more applications from third parties that will be compatible with Siri, but as is usual with Apple wanting to secure it all, there will be some types of apps that will not be. We hope that the developers put hands to work and give Apple even more freedom to your virtual assistant.
