Hello there! Are you curious about how to make Siri say something while your device is charging? You’re in for a treat because I have the perfect solution for you. This clever trick will not only customize your device, but it will also make your charging process more enjoyable and engaging. Let’s delve into the specifics, shall we?
Step 1: Assessing Device Compatibility
Before we get started, it’s important to note that this feature is currently only available on iOS devices running iOS 14 or later. If you’re not sure which iOS version you have, simply go to your device’s Settings, tap on General, then About, and look for the “Software Version” entry. Make sure it’s iOS 14 or later.
Step 2: Enabling Voice Feedback
The next step is to enable Siri’s voice feedback on your device. To do this, go to Settings, tap on Siri & Search, and make sure that “Voice Feedback” is set to either “Always On” or “Control with Ring Switch”. This will ensure that Siri will speak when your device is charging.
Step 3: Creating a Shortcut
Now, it’s time to create a shortcut that will trigger Siri to say something when your device is charging. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Shortcuts app on your device. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it for free from the App Store.
- Tap on the “+” button to create a new shortcut.
- In the search bar, type “Text” and select the “Text” action.
- Enter the message you want Siri to say when your device is charging. For example, you could enter something like “Hey there! I’m charging and ready to assist you.”
- Tap on the “+” button again to add another action.
- In the search bar, type “Speak” and select the “Speak Text” action.
- Make sure the “Input” field is set to the message you entered in the previous step.
- Tap on the “+” button one more time to add a final action.
- In the search bar, type “Charger” and select the “Set Charging” action.
- Set the “Is Charging” field to “On”.
- Tap on the “Next” button.
- Give your shortcut a name, such as “Charging Announcement”, and tap on the “Done” button.
That’s it! You’ve successfully created a shortcut that will make Siri say something when your device is charging.
Step 4: Running the Shortcut
Now that you’ve created the shortcut, it’s time to test it out. Simply plug in your device to a charger and wait for it to start charging. Once it does, Siri will automatically speak the message you entered in the shortcut. It’s a fun and personalized way to let you know that your device is charging.

With this hack, you can make Siri say something when your device is charging, giving it a touch of personality and making the charging experience a little more fun.
