using the add command with Siri

I have just discovered that you can add to a text message whilst using Siri. E.g. After you dictate a message and Siri asks: “ready to send it?” Say: “Add”, or “add to it” and both parts will be read back. You can then add again before sending of course. Is this a new feature?
No one that I have told has been aware of it and Siri doesn’t mention it in the hints. It does make using Siri much more of a relaxing experience as you don’t have to get it perfect at the first try.

Wow! That's something new I learned. I have known about changing your text with siri, but not adding to it. That makes my life zoo much easier

The Add command also works in iOS 7.0.6, which is great for those of us who have decided not to update to 7.1. I also never knew about this feature until I tested it just now.

I thought I heard about the add command way back on 2011, but I never use it. I always dictate a sentence at a time in the text area when I by hand compose a text message, makes things easier for me.

Take care.
