Siri does more than ever.
Calls and Text Messages
Siri lets you stay connected without lifting a finger.
Siri can make calls or send text messages for you whether you are driving, have your hands full or are simply on the go.1 It can even announce your messages on your AirPods.2 It also offers proactive suggestions — like messaging someone that you’re running late for a meeting — so you can stay in touch effortlessly.3
“Hey Siri, call Mum on speaker”
Siri reminds you to make the calls that matter.
“Text Sally ‘I’m on the way exclamation mark’”
Siri can announce your incoming messages and calls on your AirPods.

Everyday Tasks
Siri is a faster, easier way to do all kinds of useful things.

Based on your routine, Siri can even anticipate what you might need to help you breeze through your day. And with Siri Shortcuts, you have an even faster way to access apps.

Home
Siri is a smart way to
run your smart home.
Now you can control your smart appliances, check their status or even do a bunch of things at once — using just your voice. In the Home app, for example, you can create a scene named “I’m home” that opens the garage, unlocks the front door and turns on the lights.

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, just 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 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.
Siri gets you answers even before you finish searching in Safari.
More Powerful Tasks
Siri can search, send and book faster than you can.
It’s amazing how quickly Siri can find your devices, locate your parked car, or unearth what you’re looking for from massive numbers of files. And the capabilities of Siri are optimised for each device, so you get the right kind of help, anywhere you are.
“Open the presentation I was working on yesterday”
“Find my AirPods”
When Siri recognises events in apps like Mail or Messages, it suggests adding them to your calendar.
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 message your arrival time, 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 personalise 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 recognise them
in the future.
Siri keeps your information private and secure.
Siri is designed to do as much learning as possible offline, right there 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 organisations. And end‑to‑end encryption ensures that data synced between your devices can’t be accessed, even by Apple.
How to use Siri on all your devices.
You can activate Siri hands-free just by saying “Hey Siri”. Or simply press a button. Whatever you need, Siri is there to help. On every Apple device.
