How to give Siri commands

You deliver commands to Siri in a conversational style, and at the normal volume you use when talking to someone during a phone call.

If Siri misunderstands what you’ve said (often because of background noise), tap the Microphone icon and say No, I want . . . or No, I meant. . . .

After you've invoked Siri, what should you request? You can always display a list of example commands — just ask Siri What can you do? Commands are essentially free-form, here are some common commands:

1. Call name places a phone call. Don’t say name, though. Say the name of someone who’s in your contacts. If the contact has multiple phone numbers, mention the number you want to use, as in Call Jesse mobile.

2. FaceTime name places a FaceTime call.

3. Reply followed by the text of a reply, when listening to Siri speak the contents of a Mail message.

4. Send a message to name. The Messages app prepares a text message. Siri asks you for the message you want to send.

5. How do I get home from here? You can get directions to your home from your current location.

6. Is there a Chinese (Indian, vegan) restaurant close by? You can get a specific restaurant near your current location.

7. What does the weather look like tomorrow? The Weather app shows tomorrow's temperatures.

8. What are the showtimes for Casablanca (The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars)? Get showtimes for that movie at theaters close to your current location.

9. What's the score for the Cardinals (Bears, Red Wings)? You can hear the current score for a game.

10. Set up a meeting at time and date. Set up a Calendar event at the day and time you say. Commands can have multiple criteria as well, like Set up a meeting with Mark at his office at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

11. Play smooth jazz (Lyle Lovett, “Beethoven’s Fifth”). Music fills the air.

12. Tell me a joke. Yep, this is a favorite of mine! Some of the selections, however, are pretty corny.
