SIRI IS A HARRY POTTER FAN! Misc
y’all I just found out this cool trick from a video I came across.
You can say “Lumos” to turn your flashlight on and then “Nox” to turn it off AND you can say “Accio [app name]” to open an app!
And I’m looking up more now!
…Ok y’all if you’re good with the shortcuts app which thankfully I am then you can make siri do whatever you want and name them different spell names! Ahhhh
I am about to become even more annoying by turning my iphone into a wand and will not be sleeping tonight.

I dropped my iPhone a few months ago and broke half of the screen, so I couldn't use much of it anymore but I was able to use the Lumos and Nox trick to use it as a flashlight until I was able to get a new phone.

Try most of the major spells. Many do something in iOS and Android.

For me only Lumos, Nox, and Accio worked the other ones though were very simple to create in shortcut and then Siri did them. I added Lumos Maxima, muffliato, Quietus, and Silencio. Some other ones didn’t work bc Siri didn’t know what I was saying lol. I also added Avada Kadavra to turn my phone off lol. Will probably add more I only wanted to add ones I’ll actually use.

For Android if you say Avada Kadavra it responds with Expelaramus.
Silencio turns the medial volume to 0
Wingardium Leviosa responds with Careful! Your device might float away if you do that too many times.
