Siri with iOS App

Wondering how Siri can add value to your app, improve User Experience (UX) and let you stay ahead of the competition? Whatever your goal is, iOS app development with Swift can help you achieve your goals.

iOS 10 SDK brings an API called SiriKit that helps iOS Swift developers to connect their app with Siri and let users access the content or services offered through the app via voice commands. Users no longer need to be in physical contact with their devices. Rather, in a hand-free manner, they can exercise control on their phone and get things done smartly.

Here is the list of things that users can do with iOS apps equipped with SiriKit.

1. Take a Ride

Users can access services of ride booking apps by merely giving a voice command. So nothing can stop you to become the next Uber, Hailo, GetTaxi or CabWise. Interestingly, your prospects or customers can also send you a text message using Siri. Thus, take user engagement to a new level.

2. Search Photo & Videos

If you have offered a creative photo editing app, it’s time to innovate it with SiriKit and establish a better chemistry with your users. Siri will automatically look for photos and videos of particular content type and ease the user’s task of browsing different collage or folders. Thus, the cherished memory is now at their voice command.

3. Make Payment

Sending and requesting payments to and from other people is much easier. If you want your personal payments app to stay relevant to iOS 10 users, ask your iOS developer to make it compatible with Siri. New accessibility feature will help you contest effectively with mobile payment giants to the likes of PayPal, Venmo, Square Cash and Google Wallet.

4. Use VoIP

Don’t have a toll-free number for your business to help customers connect with you conveniently? No worries. Get SiriKit API integrated with your app and stay relaxed. This integration will allow users to connect with you over IP harnessing the capability of Siri. They can initiate audio or video calls without incurring any extra cost. All that is required is a good Internet connection.

5. Manage Workout

Now Siri can be used to manage MyWorkout, a physical fitness app. Users can create custom exercise routines, log workouts, track their progress, and calculate the fitness level achieved.

6,7. Control Climate & Radio

Talking on phone is an offence, but it seems Siri is all set to challenge the transport enforcement agencies round the globe by associating with CarPlay, the standard that allows users to display and manage the functionalities of iPhone on a infotainment system mounted in front of the driver.

So what envying acts you can do? Without picking your iPhone, make calls, send and receive messages and listen to music. Keep your hands and eyes focused on what they should be. Also, control the heating and cooling system of your vehicle remotely at anytime, from anywhere.
