List of Siri Commands that will Improve your Workflow

Siri was developed by Apple as an assistant that could be used to do many of your hard work easily without even touching the screen. You could easily make calls, compose messages, remind yourself about the time you have to leave for picking up your kids from office and much more, well overall everyone do not know all the available commands one can use using Siri.
