How to Enable Siri on iPad 3
Siri has made it’s way onto iPad 3 thanks to iOS 6 and it’s actually one of the best reasons to upgrade for 3rd gen iPad owners. Though you should see the option to enable Siri during the first reboot and basic setup after updating to iOS 6 or getting a brand new iPad, if you somehow skipped it or didn’t see that option, here’s all you need to do to get Siri on the iPad:
- Open Settings and tap “General”
- Find “Siri” and flip the switch to “ON”, make any changes to Voice Feedback, Language, and your identity as necessary
- Close out of Settings and Siri is ready to go
With Siri enabled, hold down the Home button for about 2 seconds to activate Siri and start asking questions, request information, and even launch apps.
The voice recognition aspect is just like Dictation in iOS and OS X, but with the responses it’s obvious Siri has undergone some major improvements behind the scenes, and the ability to answer even some obscure questions has dramatically improved. Sports fans will find the new sports features a welcome change too, letting you easily get game schedules, rankings, stats, and much more, perfect for couch lounging on Saturdays and Sundays.
I find it unfair being unable to run Siri on Ipad, gen. 1
plz. tell me how to get siri on my iPad2… ;)
Jailbreak

I think that Apple rip me off I own iPhone 4 and iPad 3

Maps is disaster my son love you tube app he is 2,5 , come on Siri not in my language , I live in Sweden but my native language is polish, come on and LTE mission impossible on iPad 3 and now on iPhone 5. But still I like iOS maybe I get Siri with iOS 9
What is “my info” for
after reading the simple instructions.. ??
How stupid are the apple users??
I see why they need the Apple Genius store.. wonder if they help them tie their shoes too… probably not.. all Apple users are given Velcro laced shoes for free…
Lol that’s funny but I’m a iPad user and lover so I really shouldn’t be lolling
Wait till you hit 50 in a few years or more! The Dokodemo Door will be so easy to use and you may not know what to do either. ( ^.^ )
Where is the “home” button that I need to press to enable Siri?
I am on an iPad3.
I have searched everywhere but to no avail. Is it an iPhone thing?
It’s the only button on the front of the device, below the screen. Has a white circle on it.
Lol you mean rounded edge square xD
You’re joking, aren’t you? Very funny! I like that!
Ios 6 rocks !!!!!!!
I cant find siri in general even though i updated my ipad 3 to IOS 6 :(
I don’t have it either and like you I updated my iPad 3 to iOS 6 and now to 6.0.1 and still don’t have it.
i’m also dealing with the same problem , cause no wifi
There re bugs preventing Siri settings from displaying. No fix yet
I also checked in my restrictions and I haven’t restricted anything :( :( :( :( :(
So Siri has down the wrong user on my Ipad 3, how can I change that?Do not really like being called Jay, when I am a Cathy.
say “My Name is Cathy”
or say “Call me Cathy”
Omg how do you do it I’m frustrated!!!
too bad siri is not yet as good as the default voice recognition capabilities in any android device yet.
