Siri

Make requests

Siri lets you speak to iPod touch to send messages, schedule meetings, make FaceTime calls,

and much more. Siri understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn special commands

or keywords. Ask Siri anything, from “set the timer for 3 minutes” to “what movies are showing

tonight?” Open apps, and turn features like Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and

VoiceOver on or o. Siri is great for keeping you updated with the latest sports info, helping you

decide on a restaurant, and searching the iTunes Store or App Store for purchases.

Note: To use Siri, iPod touch must be connected to the Internet. See Connect to the Internet on

page 13.

Summon Siri. Press and hold the Home button until Siri beeps, then make your request.

Control when Siri listens. Instead of letting Siri notice when you stop talking, you can continue

to hold down the Home button while you speak, and release it when you nish.

Hey Siri. With iPod touch connected to a power source (or if you’ve already started a

conversation with Siri), you can use Siri without even pressing the Home button. Just say “Hey

Siri,” then make your request. To turn Hey Siri on or o, go to Settings > General > Siri > Allow

“Hey Siri”.

If you’re using a headset, you can use the center or call button in place of the Home button.

Tap to speak to Siri.
