Use Siri with AirPods on iPhone
You can use Siri with your AirPods to ask questions and do tasks.
Summon Siri with your voice (AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, and AirPods 2nd generation)
While wearing AirPods, say “Hey Siri,” then ask Siri a question or to do a task for you.
For example, say something like “Hey Siri, how’s the weather today?” or “Hey Siri, let’s hear the Acoustic playlist.”
Note: If you haven’t set up “Hey Siri,” go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn on Listen for “Hey Siri.”
Summon Siri with the Digital Crown (AirPods Max)
Press and hold the Digital Crown, wait for a chime, then make your request.

Summon Siri with the Force Sensor or by double-tapping (AirPods Pro or AirPods 2nd generation)
You can set AirPods Pro to summon Siri when you press and hold the Force Sensor, and you can set your AirPods (2nd generation) to summon Siri when you double-tap one of your AirPods.
Open the AirPods case, or place one or both AirPods in your ears.
On iPhone, go to Settings
> Bluetooth.
In the list of devices, tap
next to your AirPods.
Select Left or Right, then choose Siri.
Summon Siri with a double tap (AirPods 1st generation)
Double-tap either of your AirPods, wait for a chime, then make your request.
Note: By default, a double tap on either of your AirPods summons Siri, but you can change this behavior in Settings. See Change the name and other settings for AirPods (1st and 2nd generation).
