First, get Siri's attention
On most Apple devices, you can use Siri hands-free just by starting your request with "Hey Siri." Or by simply pressing a button.
Now ask Siri to ...
Send a message
"Hey Siri, send a message to Ming Lu."
"Hey Siri, text Adrian and Sofia, 'Where are you?'"
Get directions
"Hey Siri, find coffee near me."
"Hey Siri, get directions home."
Play music
"Hey Siri, play the hottest Taylor Swift tracks."
"Hey Siri, play the new Tame Impala album."
Find your Apple device
"Hey Siri, where's my iPhone?"
"Hey Siri, find my AirPods."
Control your home
Ask Siri to turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, and control all of the HomeKit products that you use in your home — even when you're away.
