Chapter 4 Siri 37

Siri also wants to know about the important people in your life, so put those relationships on

your personal info card—Siri can help you. For example, if you tell Siri to text your sister, Siri asks

you who your sister is (if you don’t already have that info on your card). Siri adds that relationship

to your personal info card so it doesn’t have to ask next time.

Create cards in Contacts for all your important relationships, and include information such as

phone numbers, email addresses, home and work addresses, and nicknames you like to use.

Onscreen guide

Siri prompts you with examples of things you can say, right on screen. Ask Siri “what can you

do” or tap when Siri rst appears. Siri displays a list of the apps it supports, with an example

request. Tap an item in the list to see more examples.

Handsfree Siri

You can use Siri with a compatible headset, such as the Apple EarPods with Remote & Mic

(available separately), and other wired or Bluetooth headsets.

Talk to Siri using a headset: Press and hold the center button (or the call button on a

Bluetooth headset).

To continue a conversation with Siri, press and hold the button each time you want to talk.

When you use a headset, Siri speaks its responses to you. Siri reads back text messages and email

messages that you’ve dictated before sending them. This gives you a chance to change the

message if you want. Siri also reads back the subjects of reminders before creating them.

Location Services

Because Siri knows locations like “current,” “home,” and “work” (if your iPad Wi-Fi + cellular model

supports this feature), it can remind you to do a certain task when you leave a location or arrive

at a location. Tell Siri “Remind me to call my daughter when I leave the oce,” and Siri does

just that.

Location information isn’t tracked or stored outside iPad. You can still use Siri if you turn Location

Services o, but Siri won’t do anything that requires location information.

Turn o Location Services for Siri: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
