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

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

This post provides some unofficial guide to Siri’s commands and questions. Note that some commands may not work equally well in iOS even if they work on Mac.

To use these commands first on your iPhone or Mac Siri You have to enable it. On iPhone, enable / activate Siri from Settings> Siri option. On the Mac, go to System Preference> Siri menu and see if Nini 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. In addition, if you start the “Hey Siri” command from the Settings> Siri option, Siri will appear at any time by saying ‘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.
