Tell Siri about yourself
If you tell Siri about yourself—including things like your home and work addresses, and
your relationships—you can get personalized service like, “remind me to call my wife” or “get
directions to home.”
Tell Siri who you are. Fill out your contact card in Contacts, go to Settings > General > Siri >
My Info, then tap your contact card.
To let Siri know about a relationship, say something like “Emily Parker is my wife.”
Note: Siri uses Location Services when your requests require knowing your location.
See Privacy on page 40.
