Siri’s Personality – Guidelines for Siri Features

Siri always follows the same pattern when you use the system. She will always prompt you for input and direction when needed.

How to Understand Apple Siri’s Personality

Activate Siri by pressing and holding the Touch ID/Home button, or by saying, “Hey Siri,” if this feature is enabled. When using EarPods, you can activate Siri by pressing and holding the center part of the buttons.

When you hear Siri chime, that means that she is listening to you. “What can I help you with?” text will appear on the screen, along with an animated sound wave at the bottom.

Ask Siri a question, or speak your command. You’ll see the line at the bottom of the screen oscillate, what means Siri can hear you. You’ll also see text displayed at the top of the screen to show what Siri is hearing.

As soon as you stop speaking, Siri goes into processing mode, and the line at the bottom will be replaced by a rotating circle. This circle means that Siri is thinking and processing your words. Then, she provides two kinds of feedback, your words will be displayed on the screen, and Siri will provide audible feedback (unless you’ve set Siri to Handsfree Only). Siri will now respond to your command.

If Siri needs more input, you’ll be prompted to provide more info. Siri may ask you to confirm the command or to make a selection.
You can tap the microphone icon at the bottom of the screen, and speak your command. If you want to work with an object Siri created in an associated app, tap the object.

When you are done, you can lock the iPhone or tap the Touch ID/Home button to display the Home screen again, or to move to the app you were using.

  • Why does Apple use woman’s voice in the US and man’s voice in a series of countries? What do you think?

  • Same here. Let me know when you find out I would love to be able to have different personalities for Siri.
