iOS 16, Siri can close calls and perform other operations. If you make a hands-free call on iOS 16, you can ask Siri to hang up for you. Just say “Hey Siri, hang up”, keeping in mind that the person on the other line will be able to hear you. The feature is supported in the Phone and FaceTime apps, but is disabled by default. To enable it, you need to go to the iOS 16 Settings under Siri and search.
Apple releases WatchOS 9, here are all the news
Siri also offers new features with iOS 16.
With iOS 16, Siri can also insert emojis in texts when you use voice commands to send a message, and is also able to send messages automatically, without having to make any verbal confirmation. For those who use Shortcuts, Siri is able to run them as soon as an app is downloaded, without the need for any configuration.
Apple has also expanded offline support for Siri, as with iOS 16 the voice assistant can do many more things without having to contact Apple’s servers. For example, can handle HomeKi requests and òa offline voicemail in iOS 16.
In addition, Siri can take advantage of a new voice command in iOS 16, which allows hands-free activation of Apple’s assistive function “Auto-answer calls“. This feature can already be activated from iOS 15, but only manually by going to the accessibility settings. This is a useful option for those who have motor skills problems or problems with the coordination of hand movement that give touch commands on the iPhone screen. In such situations, you can now ask Siri to turn on auto-answer calls with the “Hey Siri turn on auto answer” command.
