Activate Siri

Note: You must be connected to the internet to use Siri.

To activate Siri on your Mac, do any of the following:

  • Press and hold the Microphone key in the row of function keys on your keyboard. If this key isn’t available, use the keyboard shortcut specified in Siri settings.

  • Click Siri or Apple Intelligence Siri in the menu bar. If neither key is shown, you can add them using Control Center settings.

  • Say β€œHey Siri” or β€œSiri” (if this option is available and turned on in Siri settings). To check whether β€œHey Siri” or β€œSiri” is available for your device and language, see the Apple Support article Use Siri on all your Apple devices.

  • Tap Siri or Apple Intelligence Siri in the Touch Bar (if your Mac has a Touch Bar).
