iOS 9 Enables Hey Siri By Default
After you have upgraded your iPhone / iPad from iOS 8 to iOS 9, you will taken through the installation process. And in this process, you are requested to set up Hey Siri on your iOS devices.
Hey Siri is your personal voice assistant that is similar to Siri, yet it offers a “hands-free” experience. In other words, you can talk to Siri without pressing any button. Just say the command “Hey Siri” to start communication.
Remember: At the September 9th (2015) Keynote event, Apple promised to bring Hey Siri to all the devices compatible with iOS 9.
