The fight against the coronavirus continues while smartphone sales show a logical drop in the face of an economic slowdown . To cope with the pandemic, isolation is essential as is the rapid management of the first symptoms. And in order to refer its users, potentially carrying the Covid-19, Apple has decided to offer its small solution through its voice assistant Siri, present on its devices: iPad, iPhone, etc. From now on, it is possible to answer certain specific questions to assess whether contamination with the coronavirus is possible. Siri asks the user if the user has a fever, dry cough, or difficulty breathing, to which they can answer “Yes”, “No” or “Not sure” . The voice assistant then questions the possibility of having rubbed shoulders with a person tested positive for Covid-19. Depending on the answers, advice is offered to users on whether or not to consult a doctor, preventive quarantine, etc. Unfortunately, this new feature at Siri is only available in the US – at the moment? Because in France, the Cupertino company has also taken measures such as the closure of Apple Stores.
