Get everyday tasks done with just your voice. Use Siri to translate a phrase, set an alarm, find a location, report on the weather, and more.
If you didn’t set up Siri when you first set up your iPhone, do any of the following:
•If you want to activate Siri with your voice: Go to Settings > Siri & Search, tap “Listen for,” then choose “Hey Siri” or “Siri” (if you have that option).
Note: The option to say just “Siri” is available on supported iPhone models in some languages and regions.
•If you want to activate Siri with a button: Go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn on Press Side Button for Siri (on an iPhone with Face ID) or Press Home for Siri (on an iPhone with a Home button).
When you activate Siri with your voice, Siri responds out loud.
Say “Siri” or “Hey Siri,” then ask a question or make a request.
For example, say something like “Hey Siri, what’s the weather for today?” or “Siri, set an alarm for 8 a.m.”
Tip: To prevent iPhone from responding to “Siri” or “Hey Siri,” place your iPhone face down, or go to Settings > Siri & Search, tap “Listen for,” then choose Off.
When you activate Siri with a button, Siri responds silently when iPhone is in silent mode. When silent mode is off, Siri responds out loud. To change this behavior, see Change how Siri responds.

After you activate Siri, you can make follow-up requests without reactivating it. (Available on supported iPhone models with iOS 17 in some countries or regions.)
1.Activate Siri, then make a request.
2.Immediately after you make the request, make another one.
To override a request, interrupt Siri while it is speaking.
•While making back-to-back requests: Repeat your request in a different way.
•If you aren’t making back-to-back requests: Tap , then repeat your request in a different way.
•Spell out part of your request: Tap , then repeat your request by spelling out any words that Siri didn’t understand. For example, say “Call,” then spell the person’s name.
•Change a message before sending it: Say “Change it.”
•Edit your request with text: If you see your request onscreen, you can edit it. Tap the request, then use the onscreen keyboard.
Tip: To correct your request without reactivating Siri, make the corrected request immediately after the original one. (Available on supported iPhone models in some countries and regions.)
1.Go to Settings > Accessibility > Siri, then turn on Type to Siri.
2.To type a request, activate Siri, then use the keyboard and text field to ask a question or make a request.
