Of course, some functions in this case will not be available - for example, you willnotbe able to find something in thebrowser or find out the weather forecast. But with thehelp of Siri, you can control music playback, launch applications, set a timer andalarm , etc.

This feature is available in the iOS 15, but it will have far not all of the devices, and the only model with a processor Apple A12 or newer chips. It:

Now on third-party devices

Second , Siri will soon receive support for third-party devices. HomeKit accessory makers will be able to integrate Siri voice control into their products, after which Siri will send commands through the HomePod if the devices are connected to the user's network.
