Movies

Ask Siri about what movies are playing, or where you can see a specific movie. Find out when a film premiered, who directed it, and what awards it won. Siri gives theater locations, show times, and Rotten Tomato reviews.

Siri works with Fandango to help you purchase tickets (for theaters that support it). Ask about showtimes for a movie, or tell Siri you want to buy tickets. When you tap Buy Tickets, Fandango opens if it’s installed, or you’ll be prompted to install the app from the App Store.

Sports

Siri knows a lot about sports—including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and hockey. Ask Siri for game schedules, scores from the current season’s games, or up-to-the minute scores from live games. Tell Siri to show you player stats and compare them against other players’ stats. Siri tracks team records, too. Here are some things you might ask:

••

••

What was the score of the last Giants game? What are the National League standings?

When is the Chicago Cubs first game of the season?

Dictation

When Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text. See Dictation on page 25.

Although you can compose email, text messages, and other text by talking directly with Siri, you might prefer dictation. Dictation lets you edit a message instead of replacing the entire text. Dictation also gives you more time to think while composing.

Siri understands a pause to mean you finished talking for the moment, and takes that opportunity to respond. While this lets you have a natural conversation with Siri, Siri might interrupt you before you’re really done if you pause too long. With dictation, you can pause as much as you like, and resume talking when you’re ready.

You can also start composing text using Siri, then continue using dictation. For example, you can create an email with Siri, then tap the draft to open the message in Mail. In Mail, you can complete or edit the message and make other changes, such as adding or removing recipients, revising the subject, or changing the account you’re sending the email from.
