Siri is Apple's voice assistant, and appears on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and HomePod. It easily handles things like settings timers and alarms, adding appointments to your calendar, making calls, messaging, playing music or podcasts, and even has tons of lesser-known features you might find helpful. But while Siri has no gender and is neither a person nor a robot, it is meant to have a pleasant personality, and that means it's supposed to be fun.
Siri can tell jokes if you ask it to, but it also has a lot of fun and witty responses to everyday questions.
In this article we bring you a list of questions you should ask Siri if you want Siri to give funny answers. It's worth asking them more than once, because many of them have multiple results. And make sure you've got the volume turned up to hear the response.
So, read on if you want to hear Siri get sassy, get Siri to rap and beatbox, discover what happens when you ask Siri to sing a song, how to flirt with Siri, calculate what zero divided by zero is, and whether Siri is any good at telling jokes.
We won't spoil the fun by listing all of Siri's replies.
