Find out what Siri can do on iPod touch

Use Siri on iPod touch to get information and perform tasks. Siri and its response appear on top of what you’re currently doing, allowing you to refer to information onscreen.

Siri is interactive. When Siri displays a web link, you can tap it to see more information in your default web browser. When the onscreen response from Siri includes buttons or controls, you can tap them to take further action. And you can tap Siri again to ask another question or do an additional task for you.

Below are some examples of what you can ask Siri to do. Additional examples appear throughout this guide. You can also ask Siri: Say something like “Hey Siri, what can you do?”

Use Siri to answer questions

Use Siri to quickly check facts, do calculations, or translate a phrase into another language. Say something like:

“Hey Siri, what causes a rainbow?”
“Hey Siri, what does a cat sound like?”
“Hey Siri, what’s the derivative of cosine x?”
“Hey Siri, how do you say Thank You in Mandarin?”

Use Siri with apps

You can use Siri to control apps with your voice. Say something like:

“Hey Siri, set up a meeting with Gordon at 9” to create an event in Calendar.
“Hey Siri, add artichokes to my groceries list” to add an item to Reminders.
“Hey Siri, what’s my update?” to get an update about the weather in your area, the news, your reminders and calendar events, and more.

For more examples, see any of the following:

Use Siri to share information with contacts

You can share onscreen items like photos, webpages, content from Apple Music or Apple Podcasts, Maps locations, and more with people in your contacts.

For example, when looking at a photo in your Photo library, say something like “Hey Siri, send this to mom” to create a new message with the photo.

The Photos app is open with a photo of two people. On top of the photo is a message addressed to Mom, which includes the same photo. Siri is at the bottom of the screen.
