Teach Siri family members - Here's how
You can teach Siri family members through your iPhone's contacts. This practical tip shows you how this works in detail.
How to teach Siri family members
- First open the contacts of your iPhone.
- Then select the desired contact. For example, if you want to teach Siri who your own mother is, choose your own (!) Contact information.
- Then tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner.
- Now you have to choose "Add related name".
- Use the drop-down menu to set the relationship between the person and the selected contact. If you wanted to add your own mother to your contact, you would have to select "Mother" from the drop down menu.
- Finally, enter the name of the contact who is in the specified relationship with the profile currently being edited.
You can of course also teach Siri other family members. For example, to teach her spouse's mother and siblings, you must edit their contact information on your iPhone.
Unfortunately, Siri is not so intelligent that she can open up more to the given family relationships. For example, if you taught her who your mother is, Siri does not automatically derive from this that you are her son too. But the lady in your iPhone has other qualities. For example, you can recognize music with Siri.
