As of March 2017, the iPhone 4S is the only non-iOS 10 phone to support Siri.

You can also enable Siri while your phone is locked by sliding the Allow Siri When Locked button to the “On” position. You should see a pop up window at the bottom of the page when you enable Siri.

Access When Locked or Access on Lock Screen - Slide this switch “On” (right) to allow Siri to respond to you while your phone is locked. Allow “Hey Siri” - Sliding this switch “On” (right) will prompt you to set up “Hey Siri”, which is a process that allows you to say “Hey Siri” out-loud to invoke Siri. Language - Pick a language for Siri to use. Siri Voice - Pick an inflection/accent or gender for Siri’s voice to use. Voice Feedback - Determine when Siri will speak aloud her responses. Choosing Always means Siri will respond to you out-loud even when your iPhone is on silent, while Control with Ring Switch lets you silence Siri with the Mute button. My Info - Select a contact to whom Siri will refer when addressing you. In most cases, you will want this to be yourself, so tap your name in the list. App Support - Control which non-Apple apps Siri can use. You can view a list of these apps by opening Siri and then tapping ? in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

If your iPhone uses AssistiveTouch for a broken Home button, tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch square and then tap Siri (or press and hold the Home icon). You can also say “Hey Siri” out-loud if you enabled the “Hey Siri” function.

You can also say “Goodbye” if Siri is in listen mode.

If you have different contacts who share a name, Siri will ask you to choose one. You can tell Siri the name, or you can tap the contact in question to make the call.

If the contact whom you’re attempting to reach doesn’t have an iPhone, the FaceTime call will briefly begin and then cut itself off.

For example, to send well-wishes to a sick friend, you might say “Tell Jeff I hope you’re feeling better. " Siri would then formulate a message that says “I hope you’re feeling better. "

You’ll also have a chance to review the message and check for spelling issues before you say “Yes”, or you can tap Send yourself.

What’s the subject of your email? - Tell Siri what your email’s subject should be. What would you like it to say? - Tell Siri what the email should say. Are you ready to send it? - Siri will say this after reading aloud your email to you. Say Yes to send the email, or No to pause Siri.

Confirm with an affirmative answer or tap Confirm.

The song must be on your iPhone for Siri to play the song.

For example, saying “Teresa is my mom” will allow you to call your mom by saying “Call my mom” to Siri the next time you wish to do so. You can do the same to institutions ("[name] is my favorite restaurant”) and organizations, as long as their phone number or other information is stored in your Contacts. You can even get Siri to call you by a nickname. Just say “Call me [name]” to teach Siri what to call you.

iPhone users have found all sorts of fun things to ask Siri.

Open your iPhone’s Settings. Tap General. Tap Keyboard. Slide Enable Dictation right to “On”.
