Muse News episode 6. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could just press a button and immediately talk to Muse? Well, Meta already made that available through the action button, which I showed on the last episode of Muse News. But, there are some people that don't have the upgraded iPhone yet, so there's still a way around it. You can dictate to Muse simply by doing this. Hey Muse, how are you today? Here's how to set it up. First, on your home screen, you want to go to the shortcuts app, so search for that. Open that, and then once you're here, you want to go to the plus icon at the bottom. In the top right, tap edit, and under search, you want to search for Muse. You're going to see lots of options, but scroll down until you see dictate and send in the middle. Tap that. Part one is done. Now, open the settings app. Once you're there, scroll down to where you see accessibility and tap that. Scroll down to where you see touch. Tap that. Then you want to scroll all the way to the bottom where you see back tap. You see where we're going here. For the double tap or triple tap, switch it to dictate to Muse. Hit it, back out of it, and then test it out. Simply tap the back of your phone a couple of times, and let it trigger. There you go. Now, if you think that's awesome, wait till the episode 7 of Muse News, where instead of saying, "Hey Siri," you can simply say, "Hey Muse," and begin having a conversation with your AI assistant. Subscribe for that episode next on Muse News.
