1.1. Understanding the Concept of Virtual Assistant Siri
Siri is a virtual assistant integrated by the American technology giant Apple into its devices, enabling users to control their devices through voice commands.

1.2. How to Enable or Disable Siri App
Is it worth buying an iPhone 7 32GB or higher integrated with Siri feature. You can activate Siri by using designated buttons. For instance, if you have an iPhone 6 or later, hold down the Home button, then say what you need. However, on some modern mobile devices - tablets, you may need to wait for Siri to appear before making requests. Or on iPhone X, you need to press the power button on the right side and then command it. On HomePod, you can press the home button on its top.
Siri's supported languages include English (Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, UK, US), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Norwegian, Cantonese, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Thai, and Portuguese.
