Apple has hundreds of shortcuts available in the app that users can use to change or use for their own needs. Voice recognition is something the voice assistant is not completely expert at with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa rivals who are fully capable of understanding language nuances. Some of Siri’s other new skills include language translation and flight information control. With recent voice assistant accidents giving incorrect answers Apple is trying to fix these concerns in the forthcoming update. The new updates will be available on launch in the fall of 2018 as part of iOs 12.
