Chapter 4 Siri 42
Siri and apps
Siri works with many of the apps on iPod touch, including FaceTime, Messages, Maps, Clock,
Calendar, and more. For example, you can say things like:
•
“FaceTime Mom”
•
“Do I have any new texts from Rick?”
•
“I’m running low on gas”
•
“Set an alarm for 8 a.m.”
•
“Cancel all my meetings on Friday”
More examples of how you can use Siri with apps appear throughout this guide.
Tell Siri about yourself
If you tell Siri about yourself—including things like your home and work addresses, and
your relationships—you can get personalized service like, “remind me to call my wife” or “get
directions to home.”
Tell Siri who you are. Fill out your info card in Contacts, then go to Settings > General > Siri >
My Info and tap your name.
To let Siri know about a relationship, say something like “Emily Parker is my wife.”
Note: Siri uses Location Services when your requests require knowing your location. See
Privacy on page 37.
Make corrections
If Siri doesn’t get something right, you can tap to edit your request.
Or tap again, then clarify your request verbally.
Want to cancel that last command? Say “cancel,” tap the Siri icon, or press the Home button.
