Using Siri

Starting Siri

Siri comes to life with the press of a button.

Start Siri: Press the Home button until Siri appears. If you didn’t turn Siri on when you set up iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Siri.

You’ll hear two quick beeps and see “What can I help you with?” on the screen.

Just start speaking. The microphone icon lights up to let you know that Siri hears you talking. Once you’ve started a dialogue with Siri, tap the microphone icon to talk to it again.

Siri waits for you to stop speaking, but you can also tap the microphone icon to tell Siri you’re done. This is useful when there’s a lot of background noise. It can also speed up your conversation with Siri, since Siri won’t have to wait for your pause.

When you stop speaking, Siri displays what it heard and provides a response. Siri often includes related info that might be useful. If the info is related to an app—for example, a text message you’ve composed, or a location you asked for—just tap the display to open the app for details and further action.

Telling Siri about yourself

The more Siri knows about you, the more it can use your information to help you. Siri gets your information from your personal info card (“My Info”) in Contacts.

Tell Siri who you are: Go to Settings > General > Siri > My Info, then tap your name.

Put your home and work addresses on your card, so you can say things like “Tell me how to get home.”
