Set up Siri

You have no idea what exactly Siri could do for you until you try it out by yourself. But before launching Siri, the first thing you need to do is set up Siri on your iPhone.

1. Turn on Siri App if this is the first time you use it.

Tap Settings > Tap General > Slide the button next to "Siri" from the "off" state to the "On" sate. Now Siri on your iPhone is enabled.

2. Checking other settings

- Choose your language you prefer: For example, if you have a special English accent, you have options for English (Australia), English (Canada), English (United Kingdom) or English (United States).

- Select your gender: Siri is capable of telling the voice from male and female.

- Enable Raise to Speak. This setting means you can simply pick up the iPhone when it is awake and hold to your ear as if making a call. Once you do so, Siri will activate.

Now that you've finished the appropriate settings for Siri, you can start to interact with it for the commands you want it to deliver for you. Start issuing commands by holding the Home Button. If you have an iPhone headset or Bluetooth device, you are allowed to launch Siri by pressing the Phone button. Also, you can choose to launch it by simply holding the phone up to your ear as you've turned on the Raise to Speak.
