So that Siri knows who you’re referring to when you ask to make a call, make sure to introduce
yourself to Siri. See “Telling Siri about yourself” on page 41.

Stop a phone call you started
with Siri

Before Phone opens, press the Home button . If the phone call is in
progress, tap End.

Music

Ask Siri to play a song, album, or playlist. Pause playback, then resume. Set the mood by asking for
a certain type of music.

Or just say “Play” and let Siri choose for you. If you don’t recognize the song, ask Siri “What’s playing?”

Here are some ways you can play music with Siri:

Play The Light of the Sun

Â

Play Trouble

Â

Play Taking Back Sunday shuffled

Â

Play Alicia Keys

Â

Play some blues

Â

Play my party mix

Â

Shuffle my roadtrip playlist

Â

Play

Â

Pause

Â

Resume

Â

Skip

Â

To hear similar songs to the one you’re listening to, say “Genius.” (Siri creates a temporary Genius
playlist, but it’s not saved.)

Messages

You can send text messages, have Siri read new messages to you, and respond to messages
you receive.

Include the name of the person to text, or wait for Siri to ask who you want to send it to. You can
text to a phone number, and you can text more than one person at once.

To send a text, say things like:

Tell Susan I’ll be right there

Â

Send a message to Jason Russell

Â

Send a message to Lisa saying how about tomorrow?

Â

Send a message to Susan on her mobile saying I’ll be late

Â

Send a message to 408 555 1212

Â

Text Jason and Lisa where are you?
