Use “Hey Siri” without connection to this tweak

Just today we were talking about the new feature that “Oye Siri” will have in iOS 8.3 allowing us to make calls using the speakerphone directly. In the same way we told you about one of the shortcomings of “Oye Siri”, and that is that it only works if it is connected to the power grid.

Waiting for Apple to see if they support using this function without connecting our device we find UntetheredHeySiri , a tweak created by a developer called Hamza Sood and that allows us to use “Hey Siri” without having the device plugged in, which is quite useful in situations where we can’t get it.

The tweak can be downloaded from Cydia and is located in the Big Boss repository. Once installed we need to go to Settings> General> Siri and check the box to Allow “Hey Siri”. Thanks to tweak we’ll get two new options where we can select if we want it to be activated only while it loads or always.

Please note that Apple does not allow the use of “Oye Siri” without a power connection because this makes our device continuously attentive to what we tell it, which leads to higher battery consumption. That’s why it’s advisable to activate it when you think you’ll need it.
