Knowledge
on the Go
Siri has answers to all kinds of questions.
Quickly check facts, do calculations, or translate a phrase into another language. It’s as simple as asking. Even when you don’t ask, Siri works behind the scenes like a personal assistant. A great example is the Siri watch face, which serves up events, news, suggestions, and more right when you need them. And the Siri voice uses advanced neural text‑to‑speech technology to sound incredibly natural, particularly when speaking longer phrases, like when reading the news or answering knowledge questions.
“How do you say ‘Thank you’ in Mandarin?”
“How many dollars is 45 euros?”
“Hey Siri, how are the reviews for Tenet?”
“What’s the derivative of cosine(x)?”
Stay on top of stocks, scores, your schedule, your Activity rings, and more with the Siri watch face.
Neural text-to-speech technology helps Siri sound natural, especially for longer phrases.

“Open the presentation I was working on yesterday”
“Find my AirPods”
“Apple Pay Adam $50”

Siri helps streamline your daily routine.
Shortcuts can do multiple things across multiple apps.
Built into iOS and iPadOS, the Shortcuts app gives you a library of
useful shortcuts to choose from, like
“Heading home.” Just say the words and Siri will text your ETA, start a playlist, and find the fastest route home — all at once. You can also create your own shortcuts to streamline tasks you do all the time.
Siri is always learning how to be even more helpful.
Machine learning is constantly making Siri smarter. And you can personalize Siri to make it even more useful. Choose to have Siri speak one of 21 different languages. Teach Siri who your family members are. And spell out unusual words so Siri can recognize them
in the future.
Siri keeps your information private and secure.
Siri is designed to do as much learning as possible offline, right on your device. Searches and requests are not associated with your identity — so your personal information isn’t gathered to sell to
advertisers or other organizations. And end‑to‑end encryption ensures that data synced between your devices can’t be accessed, even by Apple.
