Use multiple languages to speak to Siri in India

You can ask Siri to call someone, set timers and alarms, send messages, open apps, and more using English mixed with Bangla, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, or Telugu.

Get started

Siri can recognize multiple languages in India on all of your Apple devices. To get started, just set the language that Siri uses to English (India). Then ask Siri something.

Settings for Sir with English (India) language selected

You can use a mix of languages to ask Siri to do things, but the text you tell Siri to write, such as in a message or a note, must be in English.

You can also choose to have Siri respond in English Only, or in either English or Hindi depending on which language you make the request in.

Ask Siri

If your device supports using Siri hands-free, then say "Hey Siri." If it doesn't, then you can use Siri with just a press of a button. Learn how to activate Siri on your device.
