How to use Siri in iPadOS 14 — Apple World Today

Siri has a new compact design that allows you to refer to info onscreen, then launch into your next task. As you start a request, Siri appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Results have been updated to give you just the information you need in a new compact layout. 

What’s more, Siri gets out of the way when you’re launching apps, making a phone call, or getting directions. And Siri can also translate between up to 65 language pairs.

To use Siri, your iPad or iPhone must be connected to the Internet.  If you didn’t set up Siri when you first set up your iPad, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then do any of the following:

• If you want to summon Siri with your voice: Turn on Listen for “Hey Siri.”

• If you want to summon Siri with a button: Turn on Press Home for Siri (on an iPad with a Home button) or Press Top Button for Siri (on other iPad models).

To use Siri: 

1. Say “Hey Siri,” then ask Siri a question or to do a task for you.
   For example, say something like “Hey Siri, how’s the weather today?” or “Hey Siri, set an alarm for 8 a.m.”

2. To ask Siri another question or to do another task, say “Hey Siri” again or tap the Siri icon.

Note: To prevent iPad from responding to “Hey Siri,” place your iPad face down, or go to Settings  > Siri & Search, then turn off Listen for “Hey Siri.”
