Part 1. How to Unlock iPhone with Siri
The way we will introduce to unlock iPhone screen with Siri is not the old way, which works only on 10.3.2/10.3.3 and opens the World Clock application using Siri. We make use of the function - Voice Control. After we create a Voice Command, we can speak the command to iPhone and it will perform the gestures we've set. We can set the gesture as our screen password so as to unlock our iPhone via voice. I found the tutorial in a video on YouTube. Now let's dive into the details on how to unlock iPhone with a voice command.
Step 1. Find the Voice Control
Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone. Go to "Accessibility" > "Voice Control."
Step 2. Set Up a Voice Command
Find the option"Customize Commands" and tap"Create New Command..." to set up a new command.Tap the microphone icon on the keyboard, speak the command (for example: Hello) to iPhone. It will be added to the"PHRASE"option.
The next step is to create gestures for the command. Go to"Action" >"Run Custom Gesture" to set the gesture. Make the gesture like the way you input your screen passcode[You can mark the numbers on your screen before you get started]. Then tap "Save" to save the gesture. Go back to the lastpage to tap "Save" to keep the voice command.
Step 3. Enable Voice Control
Then go back to theinterface of Voice Control to turn on Voice Control. Now you can lock your iPhone and testthis voice command. When you say "Hello" [everything you said earlier in Step 2], your iPhone will run the gesture to input the password to unlock your iPhone.
I have embedded the video here. See below for thevideo tutorial. The video is from the YouTuberTech 786.
