Q: how do i get siri to send me a reminder in a voice versus calendar

how do i get siri to send me a reminder in a voice versus calendar

 

I know I double click to see the icons at the bottom of all the applications that are open and running, but how do I close them so they do not keep using my battery power? 

 

Thanks so much!

    You can't. Siri will launch the reminders app when you instruct her to set a reminder.

     

    I know I double click to see the icons at the bottom of all the applications that are open and running, but how do I close them so they do not keep using my battery power?

    Tap and hold down on one of the icons in the recents tray and all of the icons will wiggle and they will also have a red minus sign in the upper left corner of the icons. Tap the red minus sign to close the apps. Tap the home button again when you are done.

     

    Almost none of the apps that you will find in the recents tray are actually running and consuming battery power. I only close apps when the iPad starts to act a little funky - simply for troubleshooting purposes. I could have 50 or more apps in the recents tray at any one time. I get about 10 hours of use every day out of a full 100% charge of my new iPad's battery.
