Siri is an intelligent personal assistant that helps you complete everyday tasks. Preview your daily calendar, set grading reminders, open the latest version of a document, and much more.

Ask a question. Press and hold the Home button, then make a request. Try asking something like “What’s the weather going to be like today?”
Translate a phrase. Say something like “Hey Siri, translate ‘Would you like to go to the library?’ into French.”
Set a timer. Say “Hey Siri, set a timer for three minutes.”
Set a task reminder or Calendar event. Request something like “Hey Siri, remind me to check my voicemail at 3 p.m.” or “Hey Siri, set up a meeting with Sarah for tomorrow at three.”

Greet students in the native language of a culture you’re learning about. Say something like “Hey Siri, translate ‘Good morning class’ into Chinese.”
Capture and analyze fleeting learning moments with slo-mo video. Say “Hey Siri, take a slo-mo video,” and Siri will open Camera in Slo‑mo mode.
As Siri learns more about things you do frequently, you’ll get timely suggestions in places like the Lock screen or in a search. You can also add shortcuts for things you do the most so you can get them done simply by asking Siri.
