4. Remove the “What’s up” when saying “Hey Siri”
Many people find it irritating to say “Hey Siri” to activate Apple’s virtual assistant. After all, it is possible to activate Alexa, for example, by just saying her name, rather than saying “Hey Alexa”. To change this setting, go to:
Settings > Siri and Search > Activate by > Siri or Hey Siri.
5. View pets in the People album
With the new update, iOS is smarter and recognizes people, places and things in your photos. Now the iPhone is able to use this feature and categorize pets. So, you can access the animal’s “icon” and see all the images grouped together. For that:
