Apple released iOS 5.1 during the new iPad keynote and looks like Siri has got a little more smarter with an improved Yelp integration. Now, when you tap on a Yelp listing that Siri returns, you are taken to the Yelp’s App Store app instead of taking no action. This information was revealed by Yelp itself on their blog and this is a strong sign that many companies would be looking out to integrate their services with Siri.
Here’s what the blog read on talking about Yelp’s integration:
Well, last week, Apple launched iOS 5.1 and with it, an updated Siri and Yelp integration on iPhone. Now when searching for a recommendation on local businesses, Siri will return Yelp-reviewed businesses and when you tap the star rating (BOOM!) you are immediately taken to the Yelp business profile page. Oh, the places you’ll go… now that you’ll have faster access to Yelp review highlights, quick tips, hours of operation, address, phone number, photos — the list goes on.
Siri is being used by almost all the users who own an iPhone 4S and also those who have Siri on their jailbroken devices. All these minor changes count for Apple, in making Siri the most powerful and humble personal assistant yet.
