Use Siri on iPod touch to get information and perform tasks. Siri and its response appear on top of what you’re currently doing, allowing you to refer to information onscreen.

Siri is interactive. When Siri displays a web link, you can tap it to see more information in your default web browser. When the onscreen response from Siri includes buttons or controls, you can tap them to take further action. And you can tap Siri again to ask another question or do an additional task for you.

Find answers to your questions: Say something like “Hey Siri, what causes a rainbow,” “Hey Siri, what does a cat sound like,” “Hey Siri, what was the score of the Orioles game yesterday,” or “Hey Siri, what’s the derivative of cosine x?”
Perform tasks with apps on iPod touch: Use Siri to control apps with your voice. For example, to create an event in Calendar, say something like “Hey Siri, set up a meeting with Gordon at 9,” or to add an item to Reminders, say something like “Hey Siri, add zucchini and garlic to my groceries list.”
Hear about your day: Say something like “Hey Siri, what’s my update?” Siri will tell you about your weather, news, reminders, calendar events, and more.
Answer calls: Siri can identify a FaceTime caller and let you answer the call with only your voice. See Announce calls with Siri on iPod touch.
Send and reply to messages: Say something like “Hey Siri, send a message to Eliza saying how about tomorrow” or “Hey Siri, reply that’s great news.” You can even use Siri to send audio messages.

If you connect your AirPods (AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, and AirPods 2nd generation) to your iPod touch and a message arrives, Siri can read the message to you, even if your iPod touch is locked. Siri listens after reading messages so you can reply without saying “Hey Siri.” See Listen and respond to messages with AirPods on iPod touch.

Translate languages: Say something like “Hey Siri, how do you say Thank You in Mandarin?” or “Hey Siri, what languages can you translate?”
Play a radio station: Say something like “Hey Siri, play Wild 94.9” or “Hey Siri, tune into ESPN Radio.”
Let Siri show you more examples: Say something like “Hey Siri, what can you do?”
