Make your life easier with Siri and iOS

Siri, the iOS’s personal assistant, can help you a lot in many areas. Siri can get you home, play music, set reminders, check calendar, and much more. We’ve collected all important voice commands and questions in one place so you could use this comprehensive guide to ask Siri do things for you. Before the real commands, let’s see how to set up Siri.

You need to manually enable Siri on your iPhone, iPad or iPod. Navigate to Settings → General → Siri and turn the assistant on. Make sure you’ve connected to a WiFi or a cellular network because Siri lives in the cloud.

You can use one of the following ways to talk to Siri:

  1. hold down the Home button

  2. say Hey Siri

  3. talk in your car or with your headset
