Siri
You can use Siri to control music playback. To activate Siri, press and hold the Home
button. See .
Use Siri. Siri supports a wide variety of commands, which you can use to do the
following:
Play an album, artist, song, playlist, or radio station: Say “play” followed by the name
of the artist, album, song, playlist, or station that you want to play. If Siri doesnʼt find
what you asked for, be more specific. For example, say “play the radio station ‘Pure
Popʼ” rather than saying “play ‘Pure Pop.ʼ”
Play music in random order: Say “play (artist or album) shuffled.”
Play similar music: While music is playing, say “play more songs like this one”
or “create a radio station based on this song.”
Browse Apple Music: You can play any Apple Music track by title (“play ‘Smooth
Sailinʼ by Leon Bridges”), by artist (“play M. Ward”), and by chart (“play the top song
from March 1991”).
Choose music by mood: Say something like “play something happy” or “play some
upbeat music.”
Make personalized requests: Say something like “be my DJ,” “play something that I
would like,” “play recommended music,” “play a Mutemath album that Iʼd love,” or
“play my daily playlist.”
Ask for more information: Ask something like “when was this album released,” “what
is Santigoldʼs most popular album” or “who sings ‘Used Toʼ.”
Add music from Apple Music to your collection (Apple Music membership required):
Say, for example, “add ‘This is Actingʼ by Sia to my Library” or, while playing
something, say “add this to my collection.”
Correct Siri: If Siri doesnʼt play what you expect to hear, say something like “no, the
album” or “no, the version by David Bowie.”
Siri can also help you find music in the iTunes Store. See
