Use Siri to Make a Calendar Appointment on your iPhone

If you haven't tried this it works pretty well.  Invoke Siri on your iPhone.  You can use the home button, or say "Hey Siri" or whatever method you might use to start Siri.  Then just say "Make Eye Doctor Appointment for 10 AM on August 3rd". Siri will make the appointment and add it to your calendar.  

In the example below, that's exactly what I did to have Siri create this appointment for my Eye Doctor.  I said "Hey Siri, schedule my eye doctor appointment with Dr. Wilson at 10 AM on Aug 3rd" and Siri scheduled this appointment.







How to Use Siri to add a Reminder on your iPhone or iPad

iPhone Quick Tips

I use the iPhone reminders app to track all my tasks and todo's.  If you are driving, walking around or just don't feel like typing, you can ask Siri to add a reminder for you.

Invoke Siri by either pressing the home button or saying "Hey Siri".  When Siri is listening just Say "Remind Me to ....."  Or you can just put it all together and say "Hey Siri Remind Me to ...."  Siri will add the reminder to your reminder list.

In this example I said, "Hey Siri Remind me to Paint the living room white."  As you can see from the screen shot below, Siri added the reminder and prompted me to see if I want to change it.



How to Automatically Close Safari Tabs

Open the iPhone settings menu and scroll down to the Safari app. Open up the settings for the Safari app and scroll down to close tabs. I would suggest closing tabs after one week.
