Siri and apps
Siri works with many of the apps on iPad, including FaceTime, Messages, Maps, Clock, Calendar,
and more. For example, you can say things like:
•
“FaceTime Mom”
•
“Do I have any new texts from Rick?”
•
“I’m running low on gas”
•
“Set an alarm for 8 a.m.”
•
“Cancel all my meetings on Friday”
More examples of how you can use Siri with apps appear throughout this guide.
Tell Siri about yourself
If you tell Siri about yourself—including things like your home and work addresses, and your
relationships—you can get personalized service like, “remind me to call my wife when I get
home.”
Tell Siri who you are. Fill out your contact card in Contacts, go to Settings > General > Siri >
My Info, then tap your contact card.
To let Siri know about a relationship, say something like “Emily Parker is my wife.”
Note: Siri uses Location Services when your requests require knowing your location. See
Privacy on page 41.
