Get everyday tasks done with just your voice
Use Siri to translate a phrase, set an alarm, find a location, report on the weather, get summarized knowledge from the web, and more.
An iPad screen.
Near the bottom of the screen, a notification from the Clock app shows that an alarm is turned on for 8:00 a.m.
An icon below the notification indicates that Siri is listening
.
Set up Siri
If you didn’t set up Siri when you first set up your iPad, do the following:
Go to Settings > Siri (or Apple Intelligence & Siri),
then tap Talk to Siri.
Choose “Hey Siri” or “Siri” (if you have that option)
.
Note:
The option to say just “Siri” is available on supported iPad models in some languages and regions.
To change additional Siri settings, see Change Siri settings.
.
Activate Siri with your voice
When you activate Siri with your voice, Siri responds out loud.
Say “Siri” or “Hey Siri” then ask a question or make a request.
For example, say something like “Hey Siri, set an alarm for 8 a.m.” or “Siri, what’s the weather for today?”
.
Tip:
To prevent iPad from responding to “Siri” or “Hey Siri,” place your iPad face down,
or go to Settings > Siri (or Apple Intelligence & Siri), tap “Listen for,” then choose Off
.
You can also activate Siri with your voice while you’re wearing supported AirPods.
See Set up Siri in the AirPods User Guide.
.
Activate Siri with a button
When you activate Siri with a button and iPad is muted, Siri responds silently. To change this behavior, see Change how Siri responds.
Do one of the following:
On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the Home button.
On other iPad models: Press and hold the top button.
With EarPods with Remote and Mic: (Sold separately) Press and hold the center or call button.
Ask a question or make a request.
For example, say something like “What’s 18 percent of 225?” or “Set the timer for 3 minutes.”
You can also activate Siri with a touch on supported AirPods. See Set Up Siri in the AirPods User Guide.
Make back-to-back requests
After you activate Siri, you can make follow-up requests without reactivating it. (Available on supported iPad models in some countries or regions.)
Activate Siri, then make a request.
Immediately after you make the request, make another one.
For example, say “Hey Siri, what’s the weather like in San Francisco? What about Cupertino?”
To override a request, interrupt Siri while Siri is speaking.
Make a correction if Siri misunderstands you
While making back-to-back requests: Repeat your request in a different way.
If you aren’t making back-to-back requests: Tap the Listen button, then repeat your request in a different way.
Spell out part of your request: Tap the Listen button, then repeat your request by spelling out any words that Siri didn’t understand. For example, say “Call,” then spell the person’s name.
Change a message before sending it: Say “Change it.”
Edit your request with text: If you see your request onscreen, you can edit it. Tap the request, then use the onscreen keyboard.
Tip: To correct your request without reactivating Siri, make the corrected request immediately after the original one. (Available on supported iPad models in some countries and regions.)
Type instead of speaking to Siri
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Siri, then turn on Type to Siri.
To type a request, activate Siri, then use the keyboard and text field to ask a question or make a request.
If Siri doesn’t work as expected on your iPad, see Apple Support article: If Siri isn’t working on your iPhone.
