How To Have Siri Unlock Your Phone

If you don't explore the power of Siri, you will largely underestimate the function of Siri. Recently, I found from the Internet that we can use Voice Control to unlock iPhone, which will be quite useful when you forgot the password. In this article, I will show you how to unlock iPhone with Siri using voice control as well as how to unlock iPhone without Siri. Keep reading.

Part 1. How to Unlock iPhone with Siri

The way we introduced to unlock iPhone with Siri is not the old way that works only on 10.3.2 and 10.3.3, which opens "World Clock" application via Siri. We make use of the function - Voice Control. When a Voice Command is created, iPhone will perform a certain gesture when we speak the set words to iPhone. We can set the gesture as your password so as to unlock an iPhone with voice. I found this tutorial from a video on YouTube. Let's dive into the details on how to create a voice command.

Step 1. Find the Voice Control

Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone and tap "Accessibility" > "Voice Control."

Step 2. Create a Voice Command

Tap "Customize Commands" > "Create New Command..." to start creating a voice command. Tap the microphone icon on your keyboard to say something, like "Hello," to add it under the "PHRASE" option. Then tap "Action" and choose "Run Custom Gesture." Then you can create a gesture like inputting your password [You can mark the points on your screen before you get started]. After the gesture is created, tap "Save."

Step 3. Enable Voice Control

Then go back to the previous interface and turn on Voice Control. Now you can go back to the Home screen and lock your iPhone. 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 the video tutorial. The video is from the YouTuber Tech 786.

Part 2. How to Unlock iPhone Without Siri

When you are locked out of your iPhone, I guess you probably haven't heard of the solution in Method 1. Not to mention to create the voice command. Thus it is not possible to get into the locked iPhone with Siri. You have to turn to some other ways to unlock your iPhone. Luckily, you can still unlock iPhone without Siri in another three ways. Here we will introduce every solution specifically.

Method 1. How to unlock iPhone with a third-party application

Using third-party applications is a good way for you to access your iPhone again. EaseUS MobiUnlock is an iPhone unlocking tool that can help you remove all kinds of passwords on your iPhone to regain access to your iPhone, including Face ID, Touch ID, and digital password.
