VoiceOver - iOS - iPad - Posting to Facebook Using Siri

Using Siri For Short Updates in Facebook

Did you know that you can easily use Siri to post short Facebook updates directly to your wall? Doing this is relatively straightforward when you use VoiceOver, this is how:

1. For this feature to work, you need to ensure that your Facebook app knows about your account details and that you are logged in. So, navigate to the main Settings area and locate the Facebook app entry. Complete the relevant information fields such as your Facebook account email address and the appropriate password. You may also want to fine tune other settings, switching off the access to your Calendar and Contacts apps and, via the Facebook app Settings option, turning off the Auto-play video option.
2. Before you try and post an update, if you have just input your details, go into the Facebook app and ensure that you are logged in fine and that what you typed in is correct and so on. When you confirm this you can leave the app and go back to the Home screen
3. Now, think about what you want to say then hold the Home button in on the iPad or iPhone to eventually launch Siri.
4. Use the voice command "Post to Facebook" then continue to dictate your short update text.
5. When you stop reading (or let go of the Home button) Siri will pipe up and work with VoiceOver to read what you are going to post back to you. You will then be given the option of agreeing to post the update or not and this is also done by using voice, so you can say either "yes" to post or "no" to cancel.
6. Now check your update in Facebook - that's it!
