Just speak normally, and Siri will understand what you\u2019re saying. You can talk to Siri like you talk to other people, without using any specific kind of phrases.s.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"How_to_Set_Up_Siri\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">How to Set Up Siri<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is very easy to get started with Siri, as the system is set up by default when you first turn on your device.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap\u00a0<em>Settings<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap\u00a0<em>General<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap\u00a0<em>Siri<\/em>\u00a0and look at the\u00a0Siri\u00a0switch.

Otherwise turn the switch to\u00a0<em>On<\/em>\u00a0(green color).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Now tap\u00a0<em>Language<\/em>\u00a0and swipe up and down the screen to see all the languages Siri can use, and select the language you prefer by tapping it.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap<em>\u00a0Siri<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap\u00a0<em>Voice Gender<\/em>\u00a0and tap the gender of the voice you want Siri to use to speak to you.
