Toggle Dark Mode
With the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons set to face-off this Sunday in Super Bowl LI, fans and spectators from all across the US are expected to gather and partake of celebrations, watch the game, and munch out on all the Super Bowl Sunday treats. Even better yet, Apple just unleashed a flurry of new, Super Bowl Sunday-themed tips and tricks that Siri is serving up on game day. Check out some of the most useful among them below.
Use Siri to Launch the Game
To get the game up and running, first and foremost, all you have to do is initiate Siri, ask her to “Watch the Super Bowl,” and she will tune into the game, live, on your mobile device or Siri-compatible Apple TV (4th generation) — just so long as your apps are live-streaming compatible, of course.
Learn Stats, Rosters, and Much More in an Instant
Siri is also home to a plethora of information and statistics about the big game, including team rosters, player comparisons, historical stats, season records, and more, which are available to users who simply ask her one of several key commands. And it doesn’t matter where you are, or where you’re watching the game, since Siri on your iPhone will always be right there in your pocket — ready to help answer your big game-day inquiries, just as fast as you’re able to ask them.
Fans can turn to Siri for help with planning for the game. For instance, try asking her, “When is the Super Bowl and who’s playing?” or “Where is the Super Bowl being played this year?” You can also try asking broader, non game-related questions; for example, “Who is performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?” or even “What channel is the Super Bowl on?”
And for the die-hard football fans out there, Siri can even act as your personal ‘game day playbook’. For example, try asking Siri, “What is the Patriots record?” or “What about the Falcons?” Other inquiries can include things like, “Who had more field goals this season, the Patriots or the Falcons?” — or, even more specific — “Who has more rushing yards this season, Tom Brady or Matt Ryan?”
Use Siri to Help You Plan for Game Day
Last but not least, Siri can be used to help you prepare for your Super Bowl Sunday celebrations, too. Ask her to send you a reminder that you need to pick up certain ingredients at the supermarket the day prior, or if you’d rather celebrate on someone else’s turf, Siri can also give directions to the nearest Sports Bar.
