Outside of driving, I never really understood the popular use case for these voice assistants. In most situations it is easier to type your query rather than say it out loud.
It was a novelty touted as a big leap in technology.
I use Siri to turn on voice control when I drive. I have voice control number every item on the screen.
This lets me have 100% control of every feature/button and every app whilst I drive.
I can swipe on the screen using my voice.
I can write notes and messages.
I can switch to any app.
Voice control is a world leading accessibility feature that is a complete touch replacement controlled via voice.
Once I no longer need voice control I turn it off via Siri. The entire action of turning it on, using it, turning it off occurs with no touch at any point.
Also it's great for when I am cooking or doing diy and don't want to touch my phone.
In comparison Siri is better at a few narrowly defined actions but has less than 1% of the scope of voice control.
Reading people's complaints about Siri in this thread I feel what most people actually want is voice control.
But no one outside the visually impaired community knows about it.
it's for when you can't type reasonably isn't i? Like while you're cooking you might say "skip to next song" or "set a timer for 10 minutes" or something.
