What is Siri?

Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by talking. Siri understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn specific commands or remember keywords. You can ask things in different ways. For example, you can say “Set the alarm for 6:30 a.m.” or “Wake me at 6:30 in the morning.” Either way, Siri gets it.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding distraction while driving, see Important safety information on page 124.

Siri lets you write and send a message, schedule a meeting, place a FaceTime call, get directions, set a reminder, search the web, and much more—simply by talking naturally. Siri asks a question if it needs clarification or more information. Siri also uses information from your contacts, music library, calendars, reminders, and so forth to know what you’re talking about.

Siri works seamlessly with most of the built-in apps on iPad, and uses Search and Location Services when needed. You can also ask Siri to open an app for you.

There’s so much you can say to Siri—here are some more examples, for starters:
