Can I use Siri on my iPhone without having to speak?
I have Hey Siri enabled and really love it! But sometimes when I want to use Siri I don’t want to speak out loud. Is there a way for me to manually use Siri with a keyboard instead of having to speak? I do not want to turn Hey Siri off. I just want the extra option.
You can do what you want with the Type to Siri option.
On your iPhone do as follows:
- Open Settings
- Tap on General > Accessibility
- Swipe up until you see the Siri label
- Tap on Siri and enable the Type to Siri option at top of screen
- Exit Settings
Now when you hold your Home button down you’ll get a keyboard pop up from the bottom allowing you to type directly to Siri (see screenshot below):
