When you tap the ‘...’ icon

you will also see an option

called ‘Settings’. This lets you

determine how the keyboard

alert appears on your iPhone:

whether it’s onthe Lock

Screen, in the Notification

Centre, as a banner or even

all three.

Can I still dictate to Siri?

Of course. The benefit of enabling Type To Siri is

that you don’t lose the ability to dictate if you would

prefer that method. When the keyboard appears, just

press and hold on the microphone button on your Siri

Remote instead of entering anycharacters and the

digital assistant will function as it always has.
