Re: Apple Watch - wake screen and siri
Hi folks, I have found Siri to be difficult to. I have a watch Apple Watch Series 4 and it doesn’t seem to be improved from what you’ve described Jerry Doody and Hugo jerrydood...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone On Dec 9, 2018, at 2:41 PM, M.

Re: Apple Watch - wake screen and siri
Hello, What I’ve discovered is you need a special motion to activate siri. First, you raise your arm in front of you almost to mouth level keeping your elbow straight. Then you turn your wrist toward your mouth while you move the watch in that direction. Think of it as raising the watch out and over to your mouth. Raising the watch directly toward your mouth doesn’t work. My wife who is sighted had difficulty until I showed her the technique. I think you’ll like it once you learn the correct motion. Also, it is easier when you are standing starting with the watch down by your side. Chris -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
