Activating Siri
Quite often, Siri is the fastest way to work with Apple’s Calendar and Reminders apps. You’ll see tips about when to use Siri and what to say throughout this book. Here’s a quick look at how to get Siri working:
• Mac: Click the Siri
icon in the menu bar or Dock. Or, press and hold ⌘-Space. (Careful here: if you hold ⌘ and then tap the Space key, you’ll activate Spotlight instead.) (If ⌘-Space doesn’t work, go to System Preference > Siri and check on the keyboard shortcut.)
You hear a chime and the Siri window appears in the upper-right corner of your screen. When Siri is listening, a line pulses at the bottom of this window—if you don’t see this line, click the Siri icon at the bottom of the window. Speak your command.
If that doesn’t work, make sure Siri is enabled by going to Apple > System Preferences > Siri and selecting the Enable Ask Siri checkbox. Siri requires an internet connection and is available in macOS 10.12 Sierra and later.
• iOS device: On an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, press and hold the
Home button or Side button to activate Siri manually. If voice activation has been turned on (go to Settings > Siri & Search and set the “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” slider to On) just say “Hey Siri” before your request.
• Apple Watch: Press and hold the Digital Crown, or raise your wrist and say “Hey Siri.”
• HomePod: Press the top of the HomePod until you see the swirling, multicolor lights and make your request or say “Hey Siri” followed by your command. To use Calendar and Reminders on the HomePod, you must first turn on Personal Requests. See Set Up
Personal Requests on a HomePod.
Tip: To learn more about all the things you can do with Siri, check
out my book Take Control of Siri.
