What is Siri?

Siri is a built-in, voice-controlled personal assistant available for Apple users. Siri is designed to offer you a seamless way of interacting with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac by you speaking to her and her speaking back to you- to find or do what you need.

You can ask her questions, tell her to show you something, or issue her with commands for her to execute on your behalf, hands-free.

Activate Siri with a button on the iPad

• Press and hold the Home button
  For iPads without the home button, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
• When Siri appears, ask Siri a question or do a task for you.

Activate Siri with your voice

• Say “Hey Siri” to your device to activate Siri
• Immediately ask a question or speak a command

Activate Siri on a Mac

• To ask Siri, take any of these actions, then just say what you need.
• Click the Siri button in the menu bar, Dock, or microphone.

What to ask Siri

Find out what Siri can do

• Use Siri to quickly check facts, do calculations, or translate a phrase into another language. Say something like:
• “Hey Siri, what causes a rainbow?”
• “Hey Siri, what does a cat sound like?”
• “Hey Siri, what’s 5+13?”
• “Hey Siri, how do you say Thank You in Mandarin?”

Use Siri with apps

• You can use Siri to control apps with your voice. Say something like:

• “Hey Siri, set up a meeting with Gordon at 9” to create an event in Calendar.

• “Hey Siri, add artichokes to my groceries list” to add items to Reminders.

• “Hey Siri, what’s my update?” (gives an update about local weather, news, your reminders, calendar events, and more)

• “Hey Siri, play the top 40 jazz songs.”

Use Siri to share information with contacts

• You can share on-screen things like a photo you’re looking at, a website you are on, content from Apple Music or Apple Podcasts, Maps locations, and more with people in your contacts.

• For example, when looking at a photo in your Photo library, say something like “Hey Siri, send this to mom” to create a new message with the photo.
