If you are an XRP holder and have an iPhone, you might want to be careful what you say around Siri. XRP developers have created a Siri integration that will allow Apple product users to command Siri to send XRP to just about anyone loaded into your phone contacts. This could prove problematic for any XRP fans who lose their phone or become rather talkative after a few drinks on the weekend.

Still in Beta – Thankfully
It’s usually wise not to install apps that are still in beta mode, especially if they have the ability to move your cryptocurrencies around. For now, this Siri shortcut is still in the beta mode testing phase, but it will soon be available on the app store for you to download, so sending XRP to your friends is very close to becoming a reality.
Sending XRP is Cheap
If you do decide to use this Siri shortcut and to XRP to your friends, family, or anyone else for that matter, you can rest easy knowing that a transfer won’t break the bank. To prove this point, a whale recently moved 2.6 billion XRP for a mere cost of 0.000012 XRP. This means that if you’re employing the help of Siri to manage your finances, you won’t get hit with a barrage of emails asking why you’ve underpaid after bank charges have been calculated.
Beware of XRP Thieves
If you’re going to let Siri have access to your XRP wallet, you might want to be a little careful. One Australian thief stole 100,000 XRP from a gentleman friend after hacking into his email accounts. If she just needed to access his phone for a few minutes and talk to Siri, this theft could have taken a few seconds and been far more devastating.
Crypto Transfers Made Easy
A lot of people complain that completing crypto transactions can be difficult and confusing. Thanks to the help of Siri, this will become a thing of the past. Simply tell Siri who you want to send your XRP to and how much, then it will take care of the rest – you can’t get simpler than that.
While this Siri shortcut might seem like a really cool idea, it could make life easier for hackers and thieves who are out there to steal your crypto. For the time being, it’s probably best to play it safe and not install the shortcut – unless you’re a diehard XRP fan that can’t live without it.
