Type to Siri
With Apple Intelligence, Siri brings a cool new feature that lets you activate it and type a message just by tapping the edge of your iPhone’s screen two times. While it might seem like a minor update, it’s quite helpful when you can’t or don’t want to talk to a virtual voice assistant.
Type to Siri should be turned on by default, but if it isn’t, this is what you need to do:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Apple Intelligence and Siri.
- Tap on Talk & Type to Siri.
- Turn on Type to Siri.
It’s worth noting that this setting will only be available on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence — the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and the complete iPhone 16 lineup.
Older iPhones still let you type your requests to Siri, but it works more as an accessibility feature than anything else.
