How To Enable And Use Siri On iPad

Since the launch of Siri, I don’t think any iPhone user is new to the word Siri or to the concept of Voice assistance. Siri has become the part of everyone’s family. Overall, Siri is amazing and intelligent personal assistant. She can plan your day, schedule meetings, shows you the correct route, set reminders and follow and more. You can change her language or accent. This digital assistance is by far the best feature Apple has introduced till now.

Whenever you buy an Apple iPhone, iPod, or iPad, it comes with Siri pre-installed on it and you don’t have to go for any third party assistance. Generally, with newer products, you may find “Hey, Siri” feature already set up on it. But if not, we will tell you step by step process on how to enable and use Siri on iPad.

How to enable and use Siri on iPad

Compatible iPad:

The first thing you need to check is the compatibility. Siri is not available on iPad and iPad 2. It is available for iPad 3 and later versions. So make you’re your device is compatible to Siri. Also if you have iPad or iPad 2, you can jailbreak your device to use Siri but it will void your warranty. So we do not recommend it as it will be a nuisance for you.

Open Settings:

You can find Settings on your widget of your iPad.

Select Siri:

In the Setting section, you will find General Settings, select it and choose Siri from the options available.

Turn On Siri:

Toggle the bar in front of the Siri to On. Keep in mind that you should have an internet connection to Enable And Use Siri On iPad.

Modify Siri’s Settings:

Now you will see multiple settings which you can set according to your preferences. You will get the options to modify settings like male/female voice, Siri’s language, and if you want to access Siri on lock screen too.

Enable “Hey, Siri”:

When you activate this feature, it allows you to activate Siri by saying “Hey, Siri”.

Now your iPad is fully set up with the Siri feature and will allow you to use it as soon as you say “Hey, Siri”.

If you have an iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, or iPad Pro 12.9-inch (second generation), “Hey Siri” is available to you at any time. On the other hand, for previous iPad models, your device needs to be plugged into power to be able to use “Hey Siri”.
