LIFE SAVER: Apple's Siri has been credited with saving a babies life
A mother, whoose baby had stopped breathing, has told how she enlisted the help of Apple's Siri to call for help.
Australian Stacey Gleeson had dropped her iPhone on the floor as she rushed to check on her one-year-old daughter.
Finding her toddler was desperately ill, Mrs Gleeson suddenly realised her phone was out of reach but thankfully she remembered Apple's voice activation feature.
Yelling out "Hey Siri, call the ambulance.” her iPhone instantly began ringing the emergency services.
Help quickly arrived and the tot is now recovering at home.
Speaking to Yahoo, Mrs Gleeson said: ”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,
"And then before I knew it the ambulance was on its way and Giana was breathing again."
Now the parents of the baby are urging others to make sure Siri is activated on their phones.
"Kids .. everybody, everybody should be aware of the abilities of their phone,” Mr Gleeson said.
"It's helped save our daughter's life and I never thought I'd have to go through something like that.”
SEARCH: Saying "Hey Siri" will allow your iPhone to perform simple tasks
If you own an iPhone switching Siri on is easy, simply head to Settings > General > Siri.
Siri can be activated by pressing the home button but you can also use your voice to wake the assistant up.
Switching on, Allow "Hey Siri", means you can ask your iPhone to respond to tasks or questions.
Siri can call someone in your contacts, find local weather reports, send a text, set an alarm and even tell you what song is playing.
