To step

Method 1 of 2: Send an SMS

1. Press and hold your home button to activate Siri. If your phone supports it, you can start Siri by saying "Hey Siri".
   • If you don't hear two beeps (or see “How can I help you?” On your screen), open the Settings on your iPhone, tap Siri and slide the button next to "Siri" to the on position (green).
2. Say "Send a text". Siri will now ask "Who should I send your message to?".
3. Say the person's name or phone number. Siri now replies with "What do you want to say?".
   • If Siri doesn't recognize the name, it says "I can't find name>. Who should I send your message to?". Try another name or say a phone number.
4. Record the content of the SMS. When you stop talking, Siri shows the message and asks, "Can it be sent?".
   • If you are not satisfied with the message, you can say "Change" to start over, or "Add what you want to add>" to add another line.
5. Say "Send". The message will now be sent to the recipient.
   • You can also combine these steps in one assignment. For example, you can say "Message Sara, I'm on my way".

Method 2 of 2: Send an email

1. Press and hold your home button to activate Siri.
   • If you don't hear two beeps (or see “How can I help you?” On your screen), pen the Settings on your iPhone, tap Siri and slide the button next to "Siri" to the on position (green).
   • If your phone supports it, you can start Siri by saying "Hey Siri".
2. Say "Send an email". Siri will now ask "Who should I send your message to?".
3. Say the contact's name or email address. Siri will now reply with "What is the subject of your email?".
   • If Siri doesn't recognize the name, it says "I can't find name>. Who should I send your message to?". Try another name, or say an email address.
4. Say the subject of the email. This is the text that will be displayed as the subject line. So say a few words that summarize the content of the email.
5. Say the body of the email. When you stop talking, Siri shows the message and asks, "Can it be sent?".
   • If you are not satisfied with the message, you can say "Change subject" or "Change message" to start over. You can also add a new line to the message by saying "Add what you want to add>".
6. Say "Send". The message will now be sent to the recipient.
   • You can also combine these steps in one assignment. For example, you can say "Send Maria an email, I can't find my keys, so you have to stay home". Siri will now ask you for the missing data (a topic in this case).

Tips

• You can add punctuation by saying the name of the character, for example "comma", "period" or "question mark". ”
• To capitalize the first letter of a word, say "capital letter" before the word.
• Say "Capital Letters Only" before a word to capitalize the entire word.
• Add emojis to your message by saying "smiley", "frowny" or "winky".
• To write a number as a number (3) instead of a word (three) say "Number 3"
