The exact steps to follow are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We open the <em>Settings<\/em> app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>Go to <em>Accessibility<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>Voice Control<\/em>.<\/li><li>*Tap on *Set up &#8220;Voice Control &#8220;*.<\/li><li>A download of the content necessary to use the functionality will start. When finished, a microphone will appear in the status bar to show that the device is listening to us.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple Watch | Dear Apple | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fOHj5kGU4fY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful voice commands to control your iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once Voice Control is activated, you can perform actions in the same way as if you were touching the screen. Something as simple as saying &#8220;swipe down&#8221; or &#8220;long press on the Phone app&#8221; are just a few examples, but there are many more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>&#8220;Go to [app name]&#8221;<\/strong>: opens a specific app. For example, &#8220;Go to Safari&#8221; will open the web browser.<\/li><li><strong>&#8220;Scroll up\/down&#8221;<\/strong>: scrolls the screen up or down.<\/li><li><strong>&#8220;Touch [item name]&#8221;<\/strong>: touches an item on the screen, such as a button or link.<\/li><li><strong>&#8220;Swipe left\/right&#8221;<\/strong>: swipe the screen left or right, useful for switching between open pages or applications in the app selector.<\/li><li><strong>&#8220;Set volume to [percentage]&#8221;<\/strong>: change the device volume to the percentage you specify.<\/li><li><strong>&#8220;Enable\/Disable [feature name]&#8221;<\/strong>: to enable or disable a specific feature, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.<\/li><li><strong>&#8220;Lock screen&#8221;<\/strong>: to turn off the device screen.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-2-28423-1039.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226158\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the list could go on. All available commands can be explored in the &#8220;Voice Control&#8221; settings, under the &#8220;Customize commands&#8221; section. Also, something to keep very much in mind, is that we can turn Voice Control on and off via <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/siri-iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Siri<\/a>. A simple <strong>&#8220;Hey Siri, turn Voice Control on\/off&#8221;<\/strong> will take care of it, so there is no need to touch the device at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customize voice control on your iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the advantages of voice control on the iPhone is its ability to <strong>customize commands according to one&#8217;s preferences<\/strong> and needs. To do this, here are the steps to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We open the <em>Settings<\/em> app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>Go to <em>Accessibility<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>Voice Control<\/em>.<\/li><li>Go to <em>Customize commands<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>Create new command<\/em>.<\/li><li>Enter the phrase to pronounce.<\/li><li>We choose the action we want to do as <em>Insert text, Execute custom gesture or Execute shortcut<\/em>.<\/li><li>Choose the application in which you want the new command to be available or leave Any to make it available in the whole system.<\/li><li>When finished, tap <em>Save<\/em>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-3-28423-1039.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226161\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we have created custom commands, we can <strong>use them in the same way as the default commands<\/strong>. This allows us to tailor voice control to our specific preferences and needs, making it even easier to use the iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voice control is a really powerful tool when it comes to facilitating the use of the device for people with difficulties in doing so. Beyond that, it&#8217;s easy for everyone to get something out of it, especially in <strong>situations where we can&#8217;t touch the screen<\/strong> <strong>for whatever reason<\/strong>. With a long list of commands available and the ability to create the ones we want, it&#8217;s a feature to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple Books\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aabe7de8-9b2a-11e6-a543-00163ed833e7\/3668804529\/ibooks-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple Books<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ibooks.en.softonic.com\/iphone?ex=DINS-635.2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ibooks.en.softonic.com\/iphone?ex=DINS-635.2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softon.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a long list of commands available and the possibility of creating the ones we want, it is a function to take into account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9262,"featured_media":226143,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[3834,1405],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-226140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-accesibilidad","tag-iphone"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":320656,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226140\/revisions\/320656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226140"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=226140"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=226140"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=226140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
