It's 2020, so it's been a long time since Siri was released, about 9 years. It is not available in all countries, and the list of supported languages is even shorter and does not include Polish. However, the number of systems on which it can be used has increased - in addition to iOS on iPhone smartphones, these are also macOS computers (from macOS Sierra), tvOS on Apple TV, HomePod speaker, watchOS on Apple Watch and in CarPlay in cars supporting Apple technology. It can be used in sets.

It's impossible to list all Siri's features because they are constantly being added and modified by Apple, but its capabilities are comparable to other assistants on the market. Some of the functions are characteristic for them, while others work exactly the same as in the competition. To wake up the assistant, you can say "Hey Siri" which will wake up the assistant or press the home button on older iPhones and hold the lock key on newer ones (on . Then Siri will listen and when you get an answer press the icon at the bottom of the screen to ask another question or Give an order.
Siri's features include translating phrases and sentences between supported languages, getting online sports scores, checking the weather, and setting alarm clocks and reminders. It can even flip a coin or plot a route for navigation if needed. If you want, you can also manage settings in the system like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or do not disturb mode. If you can't reach for your phone, ask Siri to send a message - you will voice the content and recipient - or dial a number/contact.

The list of devices compatible with HomeKit from Apple and Siri is not as extensive as in the case of the Amazon or Google ecosystem, but it is growing all the time. Supported accessories include those from Logitech, Ecobee4, Philips, Yale, iHome, Fibaro, Belkin, Netatmo and Emerson. We can control the smart home using the Home application, in which we will find a full menu to control the gadgets present in the house, or save time and use the HomePod speaker for voice commands. The types of compatible devices include bulbs, lamps, locks, cameras, sensors, blinds, windows, thermostats and much more.

Moreover, command history and transcription will be linked for up to 6 months and then disconnected and retained for up to 2 years by Apple for Siri development. It is worth remembering that Siri settings synchronize between all devices, and it is up to us which applications will have Siri access - if necessary, this can be turned off completely.
In the case of third-party applications, some data from these applications is sent to Apple to better handle the command - e.g. ordering a ride or sending a message. In addition to our commands in the form of sound files, names of contacts, favorite multimedia content, names of devices, photo albums and applications installed on the phone are sent to Apple.
Siri in Polish
So far, only one of the assistants from the tech giants supports the Polish language and it is the Google Assistant. Microsoft's Cortana takes on completely new shapes, and Amazon's Alexa is probably the most distant product of this kind for Poles, even though it is also developed in Amazon's facilities scattered around Poland.
It seems that the chances of Siri in Polish are slim. For example, Apple is not in a hurry to open official Apple Stores in our country, and the number of smartphones with iOS and other Siri-compatible devices is not so large that it would be profitable for the company to support Polish-speaking users. A ray of hope is the dictation function in iOS, which probably works best compared to the competition's solutions, being great at recognizing whole sentences and individual phrases in our language. Translating them into text, however, is a completely different matter than interpreting them.
