You can ask Apple’s virtual assistant app Siri to do anything. Siri will do what it can, and what it can’t, will let you know and try to suggest an alternative. For example, if you ask Siri to make a cup of coffee, Siri will say that it can’t make coffee for you – but Siri will show you the address of a nearby coffee shop on the screen.

Siri can send messages, search for information and even open the camera. Apple has never released a complete command list of Siri, but you can still get some help. Turn on Siri and say Help, the app will tell you what it can do!

This post gives some unofficial guides on Siri’s commands and questions. Remember, some commands may not work equally well in iOS, even if they work on Mac.

To use these commands, you must first enable Siri on your iPhone or Mac. On iPhone, enable / activate Siri from Settings> Siri option. Go to System Preference> Siri menu on Mac and see if Siri is active. If not, activate it.

Hold down the home button to start talking to Siri on the iPhone. You can provide any instructions when turned on. Also, if you run the “Hey Siri” command from the Settings> Siri option, Siri will appear whenever you say ‘Hey Siri’. No need to press the home button.

You can create a keyboard shortcut to launch Siri on Mac and find Siri in the menu bar! The default keyboard shortcut for launching Siri is ‘Command + Spacebar’ although you can change it by going to System Preferences> Siri.

Examples of some common commands in Siri
