Tell Siri About Yourself on i Phone

You can provide information to Siri—including things like your home and work addresses, and your relationships—for a more personalized experience so you can say things like “Give me driving directions home” and “FaceTime mom.”

Tell Siri who you are

  • Open Contacts, then Fill out your contact information.

  • Go to Settings > Siri & Search > My Information, then click on your name.

Tell Siri how to say your name

  • Open Contacts, then tap your contact card.

  • Click on Edit, scroll down and click “add field,” select a pronunciation name field, then type how to say your name.

You can also add a pronunciation for any other contact card in Contacts.

Tell Siri about a relationship

Say something like “Hey Siri, Taylor Swift is my wife” or “Hey Siri, Kim Kardashian is my mom.”

Keep what Siri knows about you up to date on your Apple devices

On each device, go to Settings, then sign in with the same Apple ID.

If you use iCloud, your Siri settings stay up to date across your Apple devices using end-to-end encryption.

If you don’t want Siri personalization to stay up to date across iPhone and your other devices, you can disable Siri in iCloud settings. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn off Siri.

Note: If you have Location Services turned on, the location of your device at the time you make a request is also sent to Apple to help Siri improve the accuracy of its response to your requests. To deliver relevant responses, Apple may use the IP address of your internet connection to approximate your location by matching it to a geographic region.
