Built-in Siri Tip Sheet

Updated December 2nd, 2015.

iPhone 4S users: if you have trouble remembering what Siri can do for you, try bringing up Siri’s built-in tip sheet. I don’t know why it took me so long to find it but you know me– as soon as I find something, I write it up so you can know too.

Here’s what you get when you touch “How many calories in a bagel?” (Note: there are a LOT of examples in that category– scroll down to see them all.)

Super stuff, and it’s built right in, available where and when you need it.

By the way, there are 207 calories in a bagel.
