Story on the MacRumors forum under the name ThomasMetz, detailing that he used the new 'Find My Friends' app on the iPhone 4S to locate his wife while she was visiting another man.
“I got my wife a new 4S and loaded up Find My Friends without her knowing,” he wrote.
“She told me she was at her friend’s house in the east village.”
According to ThomasMetz, the app showed that his wife was not at the location she told him, but in a completely different part of the city.
“I've had suspicions about her meeting this guy who lives uptown. Lo and behold, Find my Friends has her right there.”
The Find My Friends app uses the GPS capabilities on the iPhone 4 to help determine the location of a person's family and friends on a map.
Apple details that the app can be useful for keeping track of travel companions when on vacation, keeping tabs on children or locating friends when meeting up for dinner in a public place.
While the app's tracking capabilities can be shut off to protect privacy, the man's wife had no idea it was even on her phone.
After setting up, users will be able to speak commands and post updates to those platforms.
TechLand details how Siri can be programmed to be compatible with Facebook, Twitter and Google +.
"For Facebook, text 'Hello' to 32665 in the United States (or the short code for whatever country you're in), then follow the link in the reply to finish the setup process. Add the short code to your Contacts, and name it 'Facebook." That way, you can tell Siri to 'send a text to Facebook saying ...'."
"For Twitter, text 'START' to 40404 in the United States (or the short code for other countries), then respond with your username, then your password. Add the short code to your Contacts with the name 'Twitter'."
"For Google+, visit your settings page and scroll down to 'Set delivery preferences.' Add your cell phone number, but be sure to click 'don't notify me' if you don't want incoming Google+ messages by text. Verify your number with the code you receive by phone, then add the short code '33669' (in the U.S.) to your contacts as 'Google Plus.' Updates are shared with everyone in your circles."
Once programmed, pressing Siri's microphone icon and speaking whatever command the user wants prompts the personal assistant into action.
