(For instance, you can ask Siri to set an alarm or a reminder for you at a specific time of a specific day.) • All devices have a button for the user to press & hold in order to activate Siri and then give the verbal command. (Mobile devices with a Home Button will press & hold this button to activate Siri. Mobile Devices without a Home Button will press & hold their Side Button. Computers will click the Siri icon near the top right corner of their screen.) 5 Siri Settings To find Siri’s settings; open your Settings App and then tap “Siri & Search” (depending on the model of your device, it may just say “Siri” and you may not see all of the Siri settings shown in this lesson). 6 Siri Settings On the next screen you will be able to turn on/off different ways to access Siri, set up the language & voice (this also effects what language & dialect Siri listens for), turn on/off different features within Siri, and manage which apps in your device are allowed to utilize Siri. 7 Siri Settings “Announce Calls” allows you to select when Siri reads aloud the name or number of an incoming call. “Siri Responses” allows you to select when Siri speaks the response to your command aloud & turn on/off captions of either what you command or Siri’s response. “Siri & Dictation History” will delete the log of your previous commands. 8 Setting Up “Hey Siri” Turning on “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” will automatically open a window that will look like this example photo. After you tap “Continue,” follow the next 5 prompts by verbally speaking aloud the words in quotes. As long as you speak the words clearly into your device, the screen will automatically move on to the next prompt. 9 Setting Up “Hey Siri” 10 Setting Up “Hey Siri” When you’ve finished all 5 “Hey Siri” verbal prompts, tap “Done.” The screen will automatically go back to the Settings App showing the “Listen to ‘Hey Siri’” feature is now turned on. If you ever turn this feature off, you will have to rerecord the 5 verbal prompts again in order to turn the feature back on. 11 What is Dictation? • Dictation is a voice activated feature on Apple devices that gives you the ability to talk to your device instead of typing. • You can access Dictation almost anytime your keyboard is on your screen. So if you really want you never have to type a text, email, note, or even Facebook message ever again (some Third Party Apps may not be capable of utilizing the Dictation feature). • You can use multiple languages for Dictation. 12 Dictation Settings To access Dictation settings; open the Settings App, tap “General,” tap “Keyboard” & then scroll down to “Enable Dictation.” Here you can turn on/off the Dictation feature & set any languages you speak. 13 Using Dictation To use Dictation; any time your digital keyboard is activated, tap the microphone icon near the bottom right corner of your device & then speak aloud whatever you would like typed out on your screen. 14 What is a Passcode? • A Passcode is the key used to unlock your device or confirm your identity before performing certain features (like an online purchase or security settings change). • You are not required to set a Passcode for your device, however it is highly recommended to do so for the safety & security of your personal information within the device. • You can change or turn on/off the Passcode at any time. 15 Passcode Settings To find the Passcode settings, Open the Settings App & tap “Passcode” (depending on the model of your device, this area of Settings may read as “Touch ID & Passcode” or “Face ID & Passcode”). 16 Passcode Settings On the next screen you can; turn on/off your Passcode, change it, adjust how quickly after you lock your device it is then required to be entered in order to unlock the device, turn on/off using your voice to dial a call (Siri), and more. 17 Passcode Settings If you scroll further down the list of Passcode settings, you can turn on/off what is accessible on your Lock Screen. “Today View” shows your calendar events, weather, traffic updates & more. “Notifications View” shows your notifications. “Siri” is another area in settings to allow Siri on your Lock Screen. “Reply with Message” allows you to reply to incoming or missed calls with text messages from your Lock Screen. “Home Control” allows you to interact with your other home smart devices from your lock screen. “Wallet” allows you to use Apple Pay from your Lock Screen. “Erase Data” is the security feature that erases your device completely after 10 failed passcode attempts in a row. 18 Saving a Passcode When saving or changing a Passcode for your device, you have the option of choosing a “Custom Alphanumeric Code” (a password with no limits that can have numbers, letters or symbols), “Custom Numeric Code” (a number code of any length) or a “4-Digit Numeric Code.” 19 What is Touch ID? • Touch ID is the ability for some Apple devices to scan a finger print in order to unlock your device or confirm your identity before performing certain features (like an online purchase or security settings change). • You are not required to set a Touch ID for your device, however it is highly recommended to do so for the safety & security of your personal information within the device. • You are also not required to have a Passcode, but if you activate the Touch ID feature your device will now require you to create a Passcode. • You can change or turn on/off the Touch ID at any time. • You can save up to 5 separate finger print scans in order to use different fingers (or toes) for the Touch ID feature. 20 Touch ID Settings To access Touch ID settings; open the Settings App & then tap “Touch ID & Passcode” (You will only see “Touch ID” in your Settings App if your device is capable of using the Touch ID feature). 21 Touch ID Settings If you have a Passcode on your device, you will first need to enter it in order to proceed. On the next screen you will need to tap “Add a Fingerprint” in order to activate this feature. 22 Saving a Touch ID To save a fingerprint; tap “Add Fingerprint Scan” & then follow the prompts by placing (not clicking) your finger on the Home Button. When asked to “adjust your grip” on the next screen, tap “Continue” & move your same finger in different positions on the Home Button (for example; horizontally instead of vertically, and the finger tip instead of finger pad). 23 Touch ID Settings When finished saving your fingerprint, you will automatically return to your Settings App, where you can turn on/off different features for Touch ID, add up to 5 total fingerprints, rename previous fingerprints & delete them. 24 Touch ID Settings If you scroll further down the list of Touch ID & Passcode settings, you will see that the same setting options are available here as previously shown for Passcode settings. The only additions are turning on/off access to “Control Center” & “Return Missed Calls” from your Lock Screen, & connecting to Third Party “USB Accessories” without needing to unlock your device. 25 What is Face ID? • Face ID is the ability for some Apple devices to scan your face in order to unlock your device or confirm your identity before performing certain features (like an online purchase or security settings change). • You are not required to set a Face ID for your device, however it is highly recommended to do so for the safety & security of your personal information within the device. • You are also not required to have a Passcode, but if you activate the Touch ID feature your device will now require you to create a Passcode. • You can change or turn on/off the Face ID at any time. • You can save up to 2 separate face scans in order to use different appearances for the Face ID feature (perfect for make-up users, eye-glasses users, facial hair changes, etc.). 26 Face ID Settings To access Face ID settings; Open the Settings App & then tap “Face ID & Passcode” (You will only see “Face ID” in your Settings App if your device is capable of using the Face ID feature).
