Siri

What is Siri?

Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by talking. Siri

understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn specic commands or remember

keywords. You can ask things in dierent ways. For example, you can say “Set the alarm for

6:30 a.m.” or “Wake me at 6:30 in the morning.” Either way, Siri gets it.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding distraction while driving, see Important

safety information on page 146.

Note: Siri is available on iPhone 4S or later, and requires Internet access. Cellular data charges

may apply.

Siri lets you write and send a message, schedule a meeting, place a phone call, get directions,

set a reminder, search the web, and much more—simply by talking naturally. Siri asks a question

if it needs clarication or more information. Siri also uses information from your contacts, music

library, calendars, reminders, and so forth to understand what you’re talking about.

Siri works seamlessly with most of the built-in apps on iPhone, and uses Search and Location

Services when needed. You can also ask Siri to open an app for you.

There’s so much you can say to Siri—here are some more examples, for starters:

•

Call Joe

•

Set the timer for 30 minutes

•

Directions to the nearest Apple store

•

Is it going to rain tomorrow?

•

Open Passbook

•

Post to Facebook
