Chapter 4 Siri 48
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 when I get home to call my wife.”
Tell Siri who you are. Fill out your info card in Contacts, then go to Settings > General > Siri >
My Info and tap your name.
Note: Siri uses Location Services when your requests require knowing your location. See
Privacy on page 42.
Make corrections
Want to cancel that last command? Say “cancel,” tap the Siri icon, or press the Home button.
If Siri doesn’t get something right, you can tap to edit your request.
Or tap again, then clarify your request. For example, if Siri heard "What’s a good place to eat in
Austin,” you can say, “I meant Boston.” Don’t bother saying what you didn’t mean.
