As with our iPhones or iPads, the Apple Watch also has Siri, the voice assistant that will respond to our voice commands quickly and easily. Today we will see how to activate it and use it on our watch and thus we are preparing for when it arrives in Spain.
How to activate Siri on Apple Watch
We can activate Siri on our Apple Watch in two different ways either through the voice itself or through the physical buttons of the watch. The vocal method is the easiest to activate as it is enough to activate the watch by raising your hand or touching the screen and then clearly pronounce (this is important) the command "Hey Siri" along with what we want Siri to do for us.
In case of not giving any indication to CrabWe will only have to wait a few seconds for Siri to ask us "How can I help you?"
It should be noted that its operation will be better in quiet areas where ambient noise does not interfere with the "Hey Siri" command.
You can also activate Crab pressing the Digital Crown and, once you feel the vibration on your wrist, release and make your request to Siri. Once you finish interacting with Siri, just press once on the Digital Crown and your Apple Watch you will return to the home screen.
Talking to Siri
Since then Crab will respond as accurately as possible to your requests just like it does on the iPhone or iPad, however, in the Apple Watch It will only do so by displaying the text on the screen (your watch will not be talking on the street). Despite this, it is possible to activate VoiceOver although this seems to alter its performance so it is not highly recommended at the moment as reported from iPhone Hacks.
