After a somewhat shaky start, Siri has rapidly cemented itself (or herself, or himself, depending on your preferences) as an integral part of the iOS experience. And from the sounds of it, your favourite sassy AI assistant is only going to get more useful in iOS 10, because Apple has finally opened it up to developers.
That means you can now tell Siri to text your mates not just in Apple’s own Messages app, but in WeChat or WhatsApp or Slack.
It means you can tell her to call your cousin in Australia on Skype, pin a recipe your like on your Pinterest board, or ask her to find you an Uber when it’s 1am and you’re pretty sure you’ve missed the last train home.
The possibilities are vast here, and again, it’s great news for people who don’t like pushing buttons – or who are using CarPlay and don’t want to take their hands off the wheel.
