And now, it’s hands-free: just say “Hey Siri... Call [contact name] using slydial!” When do you slydial? Think of slydial as your secret communication shortcut. Use it to: -Save time when you’re busy. -Respect someone’s time by not interrupting. -Get your point across when a text won’t cut it. -Avoid the stress of an awkward conversation.
