Since its inception, Siri
has become more and more useful. It’s obvious that Apple has put a lot of
thought into Siri’s place in today’s world, resulting in Siri's ability to do
everything from calculations to searching the web and making restaurant reservations.
With Hey Siri, Apple’s personal assistant makes things even more convenient.

Hey Siri on the iPhone 6 or
older is only available when your phone is connected to power. This is a great
feature to use while driving, but if you’d like to use it while on the go,
you’ll need to have your device charging with a battery case or external
battery pack.
iPhone 6s and 6s Plus (or
later) do not need to be plugged in to use the Hey Siri feature. This should
apply to the iPhone SE as well.
To activate Hey Siri:
·
Open
your Settings app
·
Tap
General
·
Select
Siri
·
Toggle
on Allow Hey Siri.
Your iPhone or iPad will
then have you briefly train it to recognize when you say "Hey Siri."
You'll be asked three times to say "Hey Siri." Then you'll be asked
to say a couple of phrases. Eventually you'll get a screen saying Hey
Siri Is Ready.
·
Tap
Done, and you're ready to use the feature.
From here on out, to
activate Siri all you need to do is say, “Hey Siri.” Remember that some
devices need to be plugged in for Hey Siri to work, but if you have an iPhone
6s or later, Siri will always be on for hands-free use.
