How to turn on Siri for voice message transcripts

iOS
Your device's speech recognition is used to transcribe messages. To use speech recognition on your iPhone, you need to turn on Siri. Turning on Siri lets you see transcripts of your voice messages.

Turn on Siri

  1. Go to iPhone Settings > tap Siri & Search.
  2. Turn on Press Side Button for Siri or Press Home for Siri.
On iPhone X, XS, XS Max, and XR you can press and hold the side button > tap Turn On Siri.
Note: Siri should remain on if you want to continue to see transcripts for voice messages received in chats. If you turn Siri off, existing voice message transcripts will still be visible in the chat.
Visit the Apple Support website for specific information on how to use Siri and how Apple handles data sent through Siri.
