How do I end my conversation with Siri?

Community Answer

Just click the home button (which is underneath the screen, and it looks like a circle with a square inside it) and you should be redirected to whichever page you were on before you began to have a conversation with Siri.

How do I access voicemail using Siri?

Ask Siri "Hey Siri, will you check my voicemails for me?" It will list your voicemails and when and how long the message it was. Then click on one of them and it should play it back for you.

How do I use Siri on Messenger?

Question

What if I don't have Siri on my settings?

Community Answer

You may have restricted Siri, which would prevent her from showing up. Go to your Settings, then open up General. From there, open Restrictions, and make sure that Siri is "allowed." If she isn't, turn the switch on.

Question

How to get Siri to call me by name?

Community Answer

Hold down the home button to access Siri, then say "call me (whatever name you want her to call you)." Siri will confirm that you want her to call you by your preferred name. Tap "yes" if she heard you correctly or "cancel" and start over if she did not hear you clearly.
