Get started
- On your paired iPhone, tap Settings > Siri and make sure that Siri is on.
- On your Apple Watch, tap Settings > General > Siri and make sure that Hey Siri is on.
You also need to connect your Apple Watch or paired iPhone to the Internet.*
Ask Siri a question
You can ask Siri to start a specific workout, check your Glances, and much more. There are several ways to talk to Siri.
Use the Digital Crown
Hold down the Digital Crown. When the listening indicator appears, say what you need, then release the Digital Crown.
Say "Hey Siri"
Raise your wrist or tap the screen of your Apple Watch. When it wakes, say "Hey Siri" and what you need.
Change Siri’s voice or language
To change Siri's voice from your iPhone, tap Settings > Siri > Siri Voice.
To change Siri's language from your iPhone, tap Settings > Siri > Language. Choose from the list of languages that Siri speaks and understands.
Get help
If you need help with Siri, try these steps. For example:
- If "Hey Siri" isn't working
- If Siri says, "Sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the network," or "Try again in a little while"
- If Siri isn't available, doesn't understand you, or doesn't respond to questions
After each step, see if Siri responds:
- Check the Internet connection on your Apple Watch.
- On your iPhone, see if Siri is turned on. Tap Settings > Siri. Your Apple Watch mirrors your iPhone, so you don’t need to check your watch.
- On your Apple Watch, see if Hey Siri is turned on. Tap Settings > General > Siri.
- Restart your Apple Watch.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Siri and turn off Siri. Then turn it on again.
- See if the microphone on your Apple Watch is blocked. For example, if your device has a protective case, remove it.
If Siri still doesn't respond, contact Apple Support.
