Make Personal Requests on HomePod
Personal Requests are Siri commands that use info from apps on your iOS or iPadOS device, including Messages, Reminders, Contacts, Calendar and Notes, and from other apps you’ve installed that work with Siri.
To learn how to set up Personal Requests, see Set up Personal Requests.
Make Personal Requests on HomePod
Try any of the following examples:
Hear about your day: Say “Hey Siri, what’s my update?” Siri will tell you about your weather, news, reminders, calendar events and more.
Send a message: Say “Hey Siri, send a message to Aarav saying that I’ll bring the vacuum cleaner with me”. If the recipient replies within a few minutes, you’ll hear a chime.
To send a message with a different messaging app, say something like “Hey Siri, send a WhatsApp message to Stephan”.
Read messages: Say “Hey Siri, read my unread messages” or “Hey Siri, read my messages from Kim”.
Work with Reminders: Say “Hey Siri, remind me to buy garlic”. You can also refer to places that are in Contacts on your iOS or iPadOS device. For example, say “Hey Siri, remind me to call Mum on Tuesday”. You can ask about items in Reminders too. Say “Hey Siri, what’s on my shopping list?” To tick off a reminder, say “Hey Siri, mark ‘water the plants’ as complete”.
Work with Notes: Say things like “Hey Siri, add a note called ‘birthday presents’” or “Hey Siri, add Tolkien to my ‘favourite authors’ note”.
Work with Calendar: Say “Hey Siri, what’s on my calendar for today?” You can also say things like “Hey Siri, when is my meal with Edith?”, “Hey Siri, what time is my first meeting tomorrow?” and “Hey Siri, add an appointment to my calendar on Monday at 9 am called ‘marketing presentation’”.
Find your devices
You can ask HomePod to find iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS devices that are connected to the same network as HomePod. If you have Family Sharing set up, you can also find devices for your family
Say something like:
“Hey Siri, where is my iPhone?”
“Hey Siri, ping my iPad”
“Hey Siri, find Lily’s watch”
