Get information with Siri on iPhone

You can use Siri to get information from the web, your contacts, and apps. You can also ask Siri to spell or translate words, perform calculations and conversions, and more. When Location Services is turned on, Siri even provides information based on location—like coffee shops near you.

On your iPhone, activate Siri, then see the ideas below for requests you can make.
