Just discovered this!

Knox will shut it off too.

Activate Siri on iPhone first. Not sure about android

If you say Avada Kedavra to Google it will say Expelliarmus back at you. My Harry Potter mad 12 year old has been doing this all day!

isthismylifenow · 04/01/2022 20:14

Meh. Doesn't work for me on android.

inheritancetrack · 04/01/2022 20:16

I did know that but forgot, and just blinded myself looking at the light...

jeepersdeepers · 04/01/2022 20:17

WingBingo · 04/01/2022 20:18

You can also just say “torch on”

SteppinOutwithMyBaby · 04/01/2022 20:22

Thanks, that's fabulous, it'll save me scrambling around finding my phone in the middle of the night when I have to go to the toilet.

Actually, that's the most useful thing I've read in weeks!

Suzi888 · 04/01/2022 20:24

Ooh thanks very handy

FallonCarringtonWannabe · 04/01/2022 20:26
