Set Up Siri on Your Mac
In case you didn’t know, Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, is also available on the Mac — and the best part is that it’s pretty easy to set up. All you need to do is follow these steps:
- Click the Apple menu in the top right corner of your screen (it’s the button with the Apple logo).
- Go to System Settings.
- Scroll down on the left sidebar and click on Siri & Spotlight.
- Enable Ask Siri.
That’s pretty much it. You can now trigger Siri by pressing the F5 key or by pressing and holding Command + Space, Option + Space, or fn + Space. The option will depend on what you choose in the Keyboard shortcut section in the Settings app.
Keep in mind that you can also use your voice to trigger Siri. All you need to do is enable Listen for Hey Siri and then follow the instructions on the screen so your Mac learns what your voice sounds like.
