How to make Siri set an alarm AND name/label the alarm at same time?
How can I make iOS's Siri set an alarm AND name/label the alarm at same time?
I set many alarms on my iPhone5S running iOS7, and sometimes it's hard to remember what I set them for when they go off. With a label I'm reminded the purpose (of the alarm). I don't want to take time to manually edit the alarm after Siri sets it--that's what I want Siri to do for me.
Some discussion here with apparently no clear answer, or at least nothing that yet works reliably on my phone.
Solution 1:
Exactly say this:
Set alarm for [time] labeled [insert name here]
This works for me every time, thus it should work for your appointments or alarms too. Make sure you say labeled right: click here for the pronunciation and just make sure the names aren't too long.
Names I've tried:
- Hello
- Triangle
- Square
Solution 2:
You can also have Siri set reminders for you, in the Reminders app, instead of alarms.
Remind me at time to task.
It also works for geofenced reminders:
Remind me when I get home to task.
Remind me when I leave here to task.
This right here is easily 75% of what I use Siri for, and I find it's a more fitting solution than using alarms—in my mind, alarms are for waking up. 😊
