London, Oct 15 (ANI): Developers of the Apple's new Siri voice-control system has included a pre-programmed response that brings up contacts for local prostitutes, sorted by how near they are to users using the phone's GPS system.
If users say, 'I am horny' or 'Do I make you horny?' to the handset, it brings up numbers of nearby 'escort' services, the Daily Mail reported.
Other requests for escorts bring up statements including 'Bad Boy! Looking for escorts', users have found.
But if users ask the handset for hard drugs such as cocaine or heroin, the handset recommends nearby rehab centres instead.
None of the responses related to using prostitutes appears to offer similar advice.
The 'service' is supposedly a joke, built into the software as an 'Easter Egg'.
'Easter Eggs' are hidden features built into videogames, DVDs and videogames - in Siri, most of these are geeky jokes.t present, the 'service' only works in America, as Siri's 'business' search is not enabled on handsets in the UK.
Siri is currently in 'Beta' testing, officially, and the company has no official date for when the 'final' version will be live, allowing users to find 'businesses' worldwide. (ANI)
