Use Apple Intelligence with Siri on iPhone

Siri is the intelligent assistant that’s built into your iPhone to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. With Apple Intelligence,* Siri has a new design, and is more natural and helpful. When Siri is activated, the Siri search field appears and remains until you close it, so you can continue what you’re doing while you talk to Siri.

Siri also follows along if you stumble over your words while making a request. For example, you might say, “Siri, set an alarm—wait no, sorry, I meant a timer for 10 minutes—actually, let’s make that 15.” Siri understands what you meant and starts a timer for 15 minutes.

In addition to using your voice, you can type requests to Siri. You can also tap into Siri’s product knowledge to get answers to questions about your Apple products.

And with your permission, Siri can tap into ChatGPT to get even more expertise. See Use ChatGPT with Apple Intelligence.

Note: Apple Intelligence is not available on all iPhone models or in all languages or regions.** To access the most recent available features, make sure you’re using the latest version of iOS and have Apple Intelligence turned on. Siri availability and features vary by language, and by country and region. For more information, see the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.

Type to Siri

When you don’t want to speak out loud, you can type to Siri—for example, when you’re in a quiet place like a meeting or a library.

To quickly type to Siri, double-tap the bottom of the screen, then enter your request.

If Apple Intelligence is turned off or unavailable in your language or region, you can still type to Siri by changing accessibility settings. See Change Siri accessibility settings.

Make requests to Siri that maintain context

With Apple Intelligence, you can make requests to Siri that build on your previous requests, maintaining the context of what you just said.

For example, you can say or type something like “How are the San Francisco Giants doing this season?” Then ask, “When are they playing next?” And finally: “Add that to my calendar.”

  1. Activate Siri, then make a request.

  2. Immediately after you make the request, make another one.

Ask Siri questions about your Apple products

You can tap into Siri’s product knowledge to get answers to questions about your iPhone—as well as other Apple products like iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, Apple Watch, AirPods, and HomePod.

Activate Siri, then, in a supported language, say or type something like:

  • “Where do I name a group text on iPhone?”

  • “I want to block someone from texting me on my iPhone. How do I do that?”

  • “How do I make the text on my iPhone bigger?”

  • “Tell me how to connect my AirPods to iPhone?”

  • “How do I change what shows up in Control Center on my iPhone?”

  • “How do I play sound from my TV through HomePod?”

  • “How do I use Apple Pay on iPhone?”

  • “How do I take a screenshot?”
