In this article, we will guide you through the steps to get the new Siri on your iOS 18 device. Let’s dive in!
1. Check Compatibility
Before you proceed, it’s essential to ensure that your device is compatible with iOS 18. The new Siri is available for the following devices:
– iPhone 8 and later
– iPad Air (3rd generation) and later
– iPad Pro (all models)
– iPad (5th generation) and later

If your device is not on this list, you won’t be able to upgrade to iOS 18 and, consequently, won’t be able to get the new Siri.
2. Backup Your Data
Before updating your device to iOS 18, it’s crucial to back up your data to avoid any potential loss. You can back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. This step is especially important if you have a lot of important files, photos, or other data on your device.
3. Update to iOS 18
Now that you have confirmed your device’s compatibility and backed up your data, it’s time to update to iOS 18. Here’s how to do it:
– Go to “Settings” on your device.
– Tap on your name at the top of the screen.
– Select “iCloud” or “iCloud Drive,” depending on your preference.
– Tap on “Backup” or “Back Up Now.”
– Connect your device to a power source and Wi-Fi.
– Wait for the backup to complete.
– Go back to the main “Settings” screen.
– Tap on “General.”
– Scroll down and tap on “Software Update.”
– If iOS 18 is available, tap on “Download and Install.”
– Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4. Enjoy the New Siri
Once your device has been updated to iOS 18, you should see the new Siri interface. To start using the new Siri, simply press and hold the Side button (or the Home button, if you have an iPhone 8 or earlier) and speak your command. You can ask Siri to perform various tasks, such as setting reminders, sending messages, or even controlling your smart home devices.
5. Customize Siri
iOS 18 allows you to customize Siri’s voice, accent, and even change the name you call Siri. To customize Siri:
– Go to “Settings.”
– Tap on “Siri & Search.”
– Under “Siri,” you can change the “Name” and “Voice.”
– Under “Language,” you can select the accent you prefer.
By following these steps, you should now have the new Siri on your iOS 18 device and be ready to enjoy all the exciting features it has to offer. Happy Siri-ing!
