0:00
with the Apple intelligence feature
0:02
Apple is introducing really amazing
0:03
features but these features will take
0:05
time to get released for the end user
0:08
for example Apple has promised a smart
0:10
Siri but it is going to be made
0:12
available later in 2025 or maybe in
0:15
early 2026 so we still have a couple of
0:17
months before we can actually start
0:19
using it meanwhile you can replace Siri
0:21
with a slightly smarter assistant which
0:24
works quite similar to the Siri if you
0:27
ask it a question it will display the
0:28
answer directly on your screen without
0:31
having to tap on it and actually go on a
0:33
website to find that information for
0:35
example if I ask something to Siri if it
0:38
is related to a current event or
0:40
anything like that it will not give me
0:42
direct answer it will rather give me a
0:44
page where it has a bunch of results
0:47
which looks like a search result i want
0:48
the information on the same page so if I
0:51
ask how many holidays are there in the
0:54
month of April here's what I found siri
0:56
is giving me a few websites and I don't
0:59
want this i want the actual answer
1:02
straight on my screen so even if you use
1:04
chat GPT or any other smart AI chatbot
1:07
there are a few steps before you can
1:10
actually get your answer there is no
1:12
direct access like Siri so I found an
1:14
alternative which is Arc Search it's a
1:17
browser powered by AI and it's adree
1:20
there are a lot of features but for this
1:22
video we will only focus on this actual
1:24
thing which will make you replace Siri
1:27
and use it as your smart assistant tap
1:29
on app store and search for a search and
1:32
then install it once you install it it
1:34
looks something like this the UI is
1:37
quite amazing this is the first page is
1:39
it will ask you to set it as a default
1:41
browser but you don't have to do that
1:44
you can tap on the plus icon and then
1:45
you can search something you can use the
1:48
voice search or you can type it go to
1:50
the iPhone shortcut app which is on your
1:53
iPhone and create a new shortcut and
1:56
then swipe down to find arc search if
1:59
you don't find it in the list you can
2:00
search it also using the search form
2:03
that is on the top and once you find the
2:06
arc search tap on it you will get three
2:08
options call arc search and voice search
2:11
call arc is a conversation between you
2:14
and the arc AI similar to chat GPD
2:17
conversation mode all the AI chat boards
2:19
have got this conversation board so it
2:21
is like that only search is the regular
2:23
search and the voice search is your
2:25
voice search so for this shortcut I will
2:28
use voice search you can create voice
2:30
search i've already created it so I will
2:32
not do it again the name of my shortcut
2:34
is voice search you can rename it
2:36
whatever you want and tap on done now
2:38
let's see what happens when you tap on
2:40
this shortcut show me the holidays in
2:43
month of April so it will search for you
2:45
on the same screen you don't have to tap
2:47
on a link to go to the browser you get a
2:50
beautiful UI where you get images as
2:53
well as probably the answer you are
2:56
looking for on the same page and now
2:58
that we have created our shortcut you
3:00
can assign it to the side button of your
3:02
iPhone 15 or 16 i have got iPhone 12 Pro
3:06
Max i don't have any side button i still
3:09
have got that silent button i have a
3:12
workar around for that as well you guys
3:14
can use assistive touch if you don't
3:16
know about assistive touch hang on i am
3:18
going to show you what it means and what
3:20
it is capable of doing go to the
3:22
settings of your iPhone and then go to
3:25
accessibility where you will find touch
3:28
tap on it and you can see assistive
3:30
touch is enabled for me if it is
3:33
disabled for you you can enable it and
3:36
once enabled you will be able to
3:38
customize it by the way this is the
3:41
assistive touch button and you can place
3:43
it anywhere you want in the corners of
3:45
your iPhone if you use your phone with
3:47
right hand place it in the right hand
3:50
side if you use your phone with the left
3:51
hand place it in the left hand side and
3:54
make sure that it is in the proximity of
3:57
your thumb so you can easily access it
3:59
now you can assign single tap double tap
4:01
and long press i have assigned long
4:03
press to the voice search shortcut that
4:06
opens arc search all you have to do is
4:09
tap on this and then select whatever you
4:12
want to select there are a lot of
4:13
options and when you scroll down there
4:15
is a list of all the shortcuts created
4:18
in the shortcuts app on your iPhone so
4:20
you can assign it so long press is
4:23
assigned for voice search and you can
4:25
see when I scroll down I have got this
4:27
voice search selected here so whenever I
4:30
long press how many days left in this
4:33
month so it's showing me how many days
4:35
left in this month right on the same
4:37
page I don't have to go anywhere though
4:39
is it simple query for more complex
4:42
queries where Apple Siri is not able to
4:44
answer you it will rather give you a
4:46
bunch of links where you will have to
4:47
access it on your own whereas this
4:49
shortcut has displayed the information
4:52
on the same page you can customize your
4:55
assistive touch button even further for
4:57
example you can create gestures you can
5:00
also set the opacity of this button for
5:02
example if you set it to 100% it is
5:04
visible and it is quite annoying so I
5:07
have set it to 20% so that it is not
5:10
really visible and it is still there to
5:12
access so there are other options here
5:15
as well i would suggest you to create
5:17
another shortcut for the call as well go
5:21
to the shortcuts create a new shortcut
5:23
then select arc search and select call
5:26
arc and then save it then come back to
5:29
the assistive touch area and maybe
5:31
assign this double tap to the
5:33
conversational mode there are other
5:35
customizations as well for example
5:38
single tap is open menu in the open menu
5:41
I have set up a bunch of other buttons
5:43
like talk GPD if I have to use chat GPD
5:45
and call arc so if I tap on call arc
5:48
what's up or how many days left in this
5:51
month there are seven days left in March
5:53
2025 again this is very easy query to
5:57
ask it but you can also ask complex
5:59
questions and also you can continue your
6:01
conversation for as long as you want
6:03
unlike in Siri which will restrict you
6:06
at some point because it will not know
6:07
the information any further so this is
6:10
how you can use it on your older phones
6:12
which does not have the action button uh
6:14
you can use assistive touch and then
6:15
assign a shortcut to open the art search
6:18
voice search so that you can get
6:20
information on a single page instead of
6:22
using Siri which will tell you to access
6:25
one of those links and get your
6:27
information so until Siri becomes
6:29
smarter you have got an alternative to
6:33
use a smarter assistant on your iPhone i
6:36
hope you find this useful if you did you
6:37
can hit the like button and subscribe
6:39
for more videos like this i will see you
6:40
in the next one till then take care
