If you ask about a location, Siri displays it on a map. Sometimes Siri goes directly to Maps, but you
can tap the map to open the Maps app if Siri doesn’t open it.

Siri might respond with a list of choices. For example, if you ask about burger joints, Siri looks for
hamburger restaurants in the vicinity and sorts the list by proximity. If you ask for the best burger
joint around, Siri sorts by rank. To sort the list another way, just ask “which is the best?” or “which is
the closest?”

Mail

With Siri, you can send mail, check your mail, and respond to mail you’ve received.

A mail message requires at least one recipient, a subject line (say “about”), and message text. But
don’t worry about getting it all down in one breath—Siri will ask for what’s needed to complete
the email.

To email someone:

Email Lisa about the trip

Â

New email to Susan Park

Â

Mail Dad about the rent check
