Here are a few ways to talk to Siri.
Say "Hey Siri"
Just say "Hey Siri," then say what you need. For example, say "Hey Siri, what's the weather like today?"
Press and release the button
On iPhone X or later, press the side button for a few moments, then immediately make your request.
If your device has a Home button, press it, then say what you need.
Press and hold the button
Want to make a longer request? On iPhone X or later, press and hold the side button while you make your request. When you release the side button, Siri stops listening.
If your device has a Home button, just press and hold it until you're finished making your request.
On AirPods, headsets, or in a car
While wearing AirPods, double-tap the outside of either AirPod, wait for a chime, then make your request. With AirPods (2nd generation), you can also say "Hey Siri."
On other headsets or Bluetooth devices, hold down the center button or call button until you hear a chime, then make your request.
If your vehicle supports CarPlay or Siri Eyes Free, hold down the voice-command button on your steering wheel while you say what you need.
