For example, when reading a message in Mail, you can say "Reply, I like it" or "Call him." Siri also understands different ways of saying the same thing. For example, you could say "Send a message to Susan saying I'll be right there" or "Tell Susan I'll by right there." When Siri displays information on the screen (for example, a calendar appointment), you can usually tap the displayed info to open the related app for details and further action. Siri uses information in Contacts to know when you're referring to your friends and associates. Make sure you have contacts for the people you want Siri to know about. Include nicknames and addresses, so that you can say things like "Find restaurants near Bob's house." If you refer to someone by a single name, Siri looks for a match in Favorites (in Phone) or Conversations (in Messages). Otherwise, Siri asks for clarification, if needed. On your personal card in Contacts, enter names of Related People (such as mother, brother, or manager) to enable Siri to respond to requests such as "Call mom." Enter your home address and work address, so you can say things like "How do I get home?" and "Remind me to call Bob when I get to work." To let Siri know which card is yours, go to Settings > General > Siri > My Info. Chapter 4 Siri 39
