Voice Control
Voice Control lets you make phone calls and FaceTime calls, and control music playback,
if you have Siri turned o. (For information about using Siri to control iPhone by voice, see
Chapter 4, Siri, on page 50.)
Note: Voice Control and Voice Control settings aren’t available when Siri is turned on.
Use Voice Control. Turn Siri o in Settings > General > Siri, then press and hold the Home button
until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep, or press and hold the center button
on your headset. See Use an Apple headset on page 43.
For best results:
•
Speak clearly and naturally.
•
Say only Voice Control commands, names, and numbers. Pause slightly between commands.

Change the language for Voice Control. By default, Voice Control expects you to speak voice
commands in the language that’s set for iPhone (in Settings > General > Language & Region).
To use Voice Control in another language or dialect, go to Settings > General > International >
Voice Control.
Voice Control for the Music app is always on, but you can keep Voice Control from dialing
when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or
Settings > Passcode (other models), then turn o Voice Dial.
