How to use "Hey Siri!"

Learning how to set up Siri is easy, but using "Hey Siri!" is, by design, ridiculously easier. You literally just say, "Hey Siri" to initiate the start of your interaction.

Position yourself within audio range of your iPhone or iPad
Say "Hey Siri!" loud enough for your iPhone or iPad to hear you.
Tell Siri what you want it to do — "call mom on speaker", "make a dinner reservation", "what's the weather like in Bermuda?", etc.

Here's a list of awesome Siri commands you can test out right now.

How secure is "Hey Siri!" voice ID?

We've tested "Hey Siri!" with over a half-dozen voices and nothing has worked except the registered voice or a recording of the registered voice, but that can vary. But Voice ID on Hey Siri isn't meant for security. Don't mistake it for "My voice is my passport, authorize me!" It's meant to solve the problem of unintentional activation, whether it be accidental, a prank, or even malicious.

If you're worried about security, turn "Hey Siri" off and stick with manual activation. If you're interested in the convenience of voice activation while you're caring for children, cooking, working, or otherwise have your hands full, then know the limitations but enjoy the functionality.
