These iPhone tricks can make your life a whole lot easier, as it turns out that Siri can do a number of things in a matter of moments that would otherwise take you a long time to do yourself.

The genius of Apple has meant that your iPhone is packed with a number of hidden tricks that'll make completing daily tasks a breeze, from a hidden calculator lifesaver to a low-power feature that could save your bacon if you're stuck outside with no battery.

However, while many might neglect the power of Siri - even perhaps Apple CEO Tim Cook himself - the voice assistant can do two things that you'll definitely want to be aware of from now on.

As reported by the Sun, the first of these involves turning off every single one of your alarms at the same time. This is borderline essential if you're going on holiday, as the last thing you want to hear after slapping that out of office on is the painful ringing of your workday alarm at 6 AM when you should be getting a well-deserved lie in.

All you need to do is just ask Siri to turn off or even delete all of your alarms and it'll do it in one fell swoop, saving you the hassle of having to manually scroll through and deactivate the 'just five more minute' integers.

Next up is asking Siri to turn your Wi-Fi off. While you might think that this is a bit redundant as you can just swipe down and tap to deactivate it from the control center, that actually doesn't reveal the whole story.

You see, turning off Wi-Fi yourself actually doesn't completely deactivate the signal from your device, leaving it on for certain features like AirDrop, your Apple Watch, and location services.

However, if you deactivate the signal through Siri then it'll turn it off completely, which is handy if you're wanting to stay completely offline for whatever reason.

Once again, all you need to do is simply ask the voice assistant to turn your Wi-Fi off and it'll oblige, giving you an advantage over anyone else that isn't aware of this simple trick.

You definitely might want to practice your Siri skills if you're not already a keen user though, as there are a number of AI-enhanced improvements on the way that'll make the experience more personal than ever before.

Just remember to say please and thank you with any of your Siri requests though - it's the least we can do to prevent an inevitable robot uprising.
