What does telling Siri “17” do?

Siri is the personal assistant of Apple’s phone. In fact, people use the i-phone or not; Siri is still a known concept for almost every person. It has various features that a lot of people are unaware of. Siri is an automated personal assistant who is always ready to help her owner with any questions. But there are times when its responses can do more harm than good.

If you say 17 to Siri, it would automatically call the emergency services; the reason behind it is that 17 is an emergency number in various countries. The significant benefit is that if you are in some foreign country and are not aware of their emergency number, Siri would automatically connect. It will also work in the same way if you say 999 to Siri.

Whether you say 112 or 17, Siri would automatically dial the emergency number. One question that comes to various people’s minds is that when they ask Siri to call 911, what does it call? The reality is that when you ask Siri to call 112, it directs to 911 only, which is the emergency number in the UK.

If by mistake you command Siri to call any of the emergency numbers, you should immediately cancel it if not required. First of all, it can be a punishable offence. Secondly, it is wrong to trouble or wastes the time of police officials. The emergency number of Siri is beneficial; hence one should use it carefully and responsibly.

You can ask Siri to call anyone if it is in your contacts or any emergency number too. But, do you know that Siri, too, owns a private number. You need to press the button, talk to her and ask questions about updates, weather, and ask him to make calls and whatnot.

Siri is a great virtual assistant, and one should not misuse it to lead you in trouble. There are a few things that you should never ask Siri to do, such as:

• Do not seek unknown animals or plants.
• Until required, please do not ask her to call an ambulance
• Never even out of curiosity, tell her that you need to hide a body.
• Do not tell her to call your boyfriend/girlfriend.
• Do not ask any medical questions.
• Never ask Siri about September 11, as it calls 911.
