How does Siri/iPhone know where home is?
Like I'll be somewhere an hour away and it will say I'm about an hour away from home. How do they know?
It knows your current location due to gps and location services is enabled for siri. Also you will have entered your home address in your iPhone
It only knows because you have told Siri at some point. Is your address stored under your name in contacts? Etc.
Because of your location services and the Wi-Fi hotspot and/or location that you have set to home, it always knows where home is unless you tell it otherwise.
I've asked Siri "How do I get home?" before, and each time she reminds me that she does not know where "Home" is. She then prompted me to create a contact entry for home so that she'd be able to tell me next time.
And then I remembered, I don't have anything in my contacts listed as "home." It's not on my Facebook account, and I've don't even have a contact named "Home." My phone has no idea where I live--and therefore, Siri doesn't, either.
In your case, you must have either a contact or some profile information published somewhere that makes it evident to Siri where you live.
Perhaps it can tell based on the GPS and where you spend most of your time during non-business hours (ie. At night). That would be my guess.
- Why is IPhone Siri funnier than iPad Siri? I have an iPad mini. Siri is so boring on mine. She just says, "I can't answer that." Or "is that so?". On my friends iPhone, she replies really funny. Also on the Internet I see funny convos with Siri all from iPhone and not on iPad mini. Why is it that siri is funnier on iPhone? They are both part of apple!
- Is there an iPhone app to go to the home screen? My Home button isn't working well? IIm afraid my home button will completely stop working soon enough, and i don't currently have money to replace it. I really only need the home function, but it would be really nice if it also had a screenshot function (because screenshots need the home + lock combo) Edit: If it makes any difference, my phone is an iPhone 3GS (old, lol) and has iOS 6.1.6.
