Use Siri with AirPods on iPod touch

You can use Siri with your AirPods to ask questions and do tasks.

Summon Siri with your voice (AirPods Pro and AirPods 2nd generation)

While wearing one or both AirPods, 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, let’s hear the Acoustic playlist.”

iPod touch must be connected to a power source in order to respond to “Hey Siri.”

Note: If you didn’t set up “Hey Siri,” go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn on Listen for “Hey Siri.”

Summon Siri with your touch

You can set AirPods Pro to summon Siri when you press and hold the Force Sensor, and you can set your AirPods (2nd generation) to summon Siri when you double-tap one of your AirPods. By default, a double tap summons Siri on AirPods (1st generation), but you can change this behavior.

Open the AirPods case.
On iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
Tap next to your AirPods in the list of devices.
Select Left or Right, then choose Siri. (Or to change the default behavior of AirPods (1st generation), choose a different option.)

Note: If you haven’t turned on Siri, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn on Press Home for Siri.

Listen and respond to messages (AirPods Pro and AirPods 2nd generation)

With Announce Messages, you can hear your messages over your AirPods. When your iPod touch is locked, your AirPods are connected to it, and a message arrives, a chime sounds and Siri begins to read the message (iOS 13.2 or later).

To stop Siri from reading, you can do any of the following:

Remove one of your AirPods.
Say something like “Stop” or “Cancel.”
Press the Force Sensor on either of your AirPods Pro, or double-tap either of your AirPods (2nd generation).

To reply to the message, say something like “Reply that’s great news.”

Siri repeats what you said, then asks for confirmation before sending your reply. To send replies without waiting for confirmation, go to Settings > Siri & Search > Announce Messages, then turn on Reply without Confirmation.

Note: If you didn’t turn on Announce Messages when you set up your AirPods, go to Settings > Siri & Search > Announce Messages, then turn on Announce Messages with Siri.
