Use Siri
Siri (iPad 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro, iPad mini and later) lets you speak
to iPad to send messages, schedule meetings, make FaceTime calls, and much
more. Siri understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn special
commands or keywords. Ask Siri anything, from “set the timer for 3 minutes” to
“what movies are showing tonight?” Open apps, and turn features like Airplane
Mode, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and VoiceOver on or off. Siri is great for
keeping you updated with the latest sports info, helping you decide on a
restaurant, and searching the iTunes Store or App Store.
Note: To use Siri, iPad must be connected to the Internet. See Connect to Wi-Fi
(on page) . Cellular charges may apply.
Summon Siri.
Press and hold the Home button, then make your request.
Control when Siri listens.
Instead of letting Siri notice when you stop talking, you can continue to hold
down the Home button while you speak, then release it when you finish.
Hey Siri.
With iPad connected to a power source (or if you’ve already started a
conversation with Siri), you can use Siri without even pressing the Home button.
Just say “Hey Siri,” then make your request. To turn Hey Siri on or off, go to
Settings > General > Siri > Allow “Hey Siri”.
If you’re using a headset, you can use the center or call button in place of the
Home button.
