iOS 10 lets third-parthy app developers integrate Siri with their apps. This allows interesting possibilities such as using Siri to send WhatsApp messages, or order a cab. Even though Siri is better and faster, it still isn't great at recognising Indian English accents. However, if Siri understands what you're saying these new features could save you a lot of time.

For this to work, head to Settings > Siri > App Support. Then grant access to all apps that you want to use Siri with. Once you've done that, check out our top picks of apps that use Siri, in the list below. To use the apps, just tell Siri to use them in your commands.
