If you don't explore the power of Siri, you will never know how powerful Siri can be. Recently, I found from the Internet that we can unlock iPhone via voice, which will be quite useful when you forgot the screen password. In this article, I will show you how to unlock iPhone via Siri using voice control as well as how to unlock iPhone without Siri. Keep reading.
Part 1. How to Unlock iPhone with Siri
To unlock your iPhone screen with Siri using Voice Control, follow these steps: Create a Voice Command by going to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control. Tap on "Add Command" and choose "Customize Gestures". Select "Unlock" and assign a gesture, such as a series of taps or swipes. Then, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode) and toggle off "Require Passcode". Now, when you say the Voice Command, the assigned gesture will unlock your iPhone screen. This method works on iOS versions 10.3.2 and later. Note: This method may not work on all iOS versions, and it's recommended to use a secure passcode or Face ID/Touch ID for added security.
Step 1. Find the Voice Control
To access Voice Control on your iPhone, open the "Settings" app, then select "Accessibility" and finally "Voice Control."
Step 2. Set Up a Voice Command
To set up a new command on iPhone, go to the "Customize Commands" option and tap "Create New Command...". Then, tap the microphone icon on the keyboard, speak the command (e.g. "Hello"), and it will be added to the "PHRASE" option.
Create a custom gesture for the command by going to "Action" > "Run Custom Gesture", then make the gesture like the way you input your screen passcode, and tap "Save" to save the gesture, and then go back to tap "Save" to keep the voice command.
Step 3. Enable Voice Control
To lock your iPhone and test the voice command, go back to the Voice Control interface, then say "Hello" followed by the voice command you created in step 2, which will input the password to unlock your iPhone.

Part 2. How to Unlock iPhone Without Siri
When you are locked out of your iPhone, I guess you probably have no idea to unlock iPhone with voice. Not to mention the setup of this voice command. Thus it is not possible to get into the locked iPhone with Siri. You have to turn to some other ways to get into your locked iPhone. Luckily, you can still unlock iPhone without Siri in another three ways. Here we will introduce everysolution specifically.
Method 1. How to unlock iPhone with a third-party application
Using third-Qiling MobiUnlock is a tool that helps you regain access to your iPhone by removing all types of passwords, including Face ID, Touch ID, and digital passwords, providing a fast and smooth process to unlock your iPhone without a password or Siri.
To reset your iPhone using a computer, you'll need to know your Apple ID and password. This method will erase all content on your iPhone, so it's essential to back it up first. You can follow guides on how to back up your iPhone without iTunes and how to restore it from a computer backup. Once you've backed up your iPhone, you can proceed with the reset process.
Step 1. Open Qiling MobiUnlock on your computer, connect your device, and select "Unlock Screen Passcode" from the home page.
Step 2. Once Qiling MobiUnlock recognizes your device, click "Start" to proceed.
Step 3. Check your device model and click "Next" to download the latest firmware version for your device, or click "Verify" to continue if you've already downloaded it.
Step 4. After the firmware verification is completed, click "Unlock Now" to proceed. This will prompt a warning screen where you need to enter the required information. Enter the necessary details and then click the "Unlock" button.
Step 5. Enter your passcode or use Face ID/Touch ID to unlock your iPhone or iPad. After a few seconds, your device will be unlocked successfully.
Method 2. Unlock iPhone with iTunes
If you're unable to access your iPhone, you can use iTunes to reset it and regain access. This process may take longer since it requires downloading firmware from iTunes. If you've backed up your iPhone to iTunes, you can restore your backup data after the reset. To do this, connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your iPhone. Note that this process may take some time, but it's a good option if you don't have a third-party application.
Step 1. To unlock your iPhone, launch iTunes on your PC and connect your locked iPhone to your PC via a USB cable.
Step 2. Enter recovery mode on your iPhone. You can refer to this page for detailed operations. The common for iPhone running iOS 8 or later is as below:
To enter recovery mode, press the Volume Up button quickly, then the Volume Down button quickly, and finally hold the Side button until the recovery mode screen appears.
Step 3. After restoring your iPhone, a popup from iTunes will appear. If you have a backup, choose it and click "Restore" to reset your iPhone. If not, you can click "Restore" without a backup. Once the process is complete, you can set up your iPhone.
Method 3. Unlock iPhone with iCloud
You can remove the password on your iPhone by using iCloud through the "Find My iPhone" option, specifically by selecting "Erase iPhone". This process will erase your iPhone and reset it like a new one, effectively removing the password.
Step 1. Visit iCloud.com and sign in with your account.
If you've enabled two-factor authentication and can't receive the verification code on your locked iPhone, you can click the "Didn't get a verification code?" link and select "Txt me" to receive the code via message. If that doesn't work, you can click "More options..." to update your phone number.
Step 2. After you get into your iCloud control panel, click "Find iPhone" and choose the locked device under the option "All Devices."
Step 3. To reset your iPhone, go to Settings, click on General, then click on Reset, and select Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase all data, settings, and apps from your iPhone. Then click "Erase iPhone" and confirm the operation. Your iPhone will then be reset and ready to set up again.
The Final Words
If you've never used Voice Control on a locked iPhone before, you can use one of three methods to unlock it without Siri. Once unlocked, you can set up Voice Command on your iPhone, allowing you to easily unlock it with your voice, even if you forget your password.
