Note: Voice Control and Voice Control settings aren’t available when Siri is turned on.
Use Voice Control. Turn Siri o in Settings > General > Siri, then press and hold the Home button
until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep, or press and hold the center button
on your headset. See Use an Apple headset on page 35.
For best results:

Change the language for Voice Control. By default, Voice Control expects you to speak voice
commands in the language that’s set for iPhone (in Settings > General > International >
Language). To use Voice Control in another language or dialect, go to Settings > General >
International > Voice Control.
Voice Control for the Music app is always on, but you can keep Voice Control from dialing when
iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other
models), and turn o Voice Dial.
