Speak to Siri
Siri is your voice-activated personal assistant, capable of making phone calls, playing music, reading your email messages, telling you if it’s going to rain, and even controlling your home.
Summon Siri
There are two ways to summon Siri. The first is to press and hold the Home button—or the side button on devices without Home buttons—until you see “What can I help you with?” on the screen.
Or you can use the voice-activated Hey Siri, which you can enable in Settings > Siri & Search > Listen for “Hey Siri” (it should be enabled by default).
To use Hey Siri, say, “Hey Siri” and speak your query—you don’t have to wait for Siri to activate.
