Apple's digital assistant have saved the life of a little girl in Australia as Stacey Gleeson called on Siri after realizing her one-year-old daughter had turned blue and stopped breathing.
'Hey Siri, call me the ambulance', Gleeson yelled at her white iPhone that laid on the carpet across the room, which prompted the digital hero to dial for help.
Mail online reports that Gleeson caught a glimpse of Giana on the baby monitor and saw she had turned blue and stopped breathing.
'I picked her up and sat down with her on the floor and as I checked her airways... I looked over and remembered my phone,' Mrs Gleeson told 7 News.
Gleeson had dropped her phone while in a panic, but remembered that users with the latest Apple devices just have to say 'hey Siri' in order to activate the digital assistant and asked Siri to call an ambulance.
'And then before I knew it the ambulance was on its way and Giana was breathing again.'
Nic Gleeson, Stacey's husband who was away on business, said the few seconds of time could have made all the difference.
'It might have given the precious moments Stacey needed to revive Giana,' he said
News about Siri's upgrade hit the web last fall right before the iPhone 6 and 6s hit the market.
The announcement said the software could be 'trained' to recognize its owner's voice.
The technology uses what is called M9 motion coprocessor, which is integrated directly into the A9 chip.
The M9 connects to the accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, and barometer for a wide range of fitness tracking capabilities.
'The integrated M9 works so efficiently and intelligently that Siri is always on and waiting for your voice commands,' said Apple.
'You can easily activate Siri by saying 'Hey Siri' whenever your iPhone 6s is nearby.'
Users activate this feature in Settings by switching the option 'Allow Hey Siri'.
