Use Voice Control. Turn Siri off in Settings > General > Siri, then press and hold the Home button

until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep, or press and hold the center button

on your headset. See

Use an Apple headset

on page 41.

For best results:

Speak clearly and naturally.

Say only Voice Control commands, names, and numbers. Pause slightly between commands.

Use full names.

Change the language for Voice Control. By default, Voice Control expects you to speak voice

commands in the language that’s set for iPhone (in Settings > General > International >

Language). To use Voice Control in another language or dialect, go to Settings > General >

International > Voice Control.
Voice Control for the Music app is always on, but you can keep Voice Control from dialing

when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or

Settings > Passcode (other models), then turn off Voice Dial.

For specific commands, see

on page 51 and
