#1. Don’t let Siri go while you stammer 💁‍♀️

Most people who disabled “Listen for Hey Siri” use Siri like this: They

• Hold the side-button,
• Let Siri appear,
• Leave the button, and
• Command Siri.

I too used her the same way for so long. But the problem: I stammer on few words and word-combinations. Ex:

To set alarm for 8:25, I say “Set an alarm for eight ….t-t-t-t-t-t-tonty five”. But even before I complete the sentence, Siri thinks it’s already completed. And it sets an alarm for 8:00 😩.

If you suffer from the same issue, or any other speech difficulties, try using Siri like this:

• Hold the side-button,
• Complete your command,
• Leave the button.

Siri will not go away until you leave the button — so all your words will be considered for the command.
