Using Siri to Change Modes
You can use Siri to change your Bose mode with your voice. Just say "Hey Siri" or use the voice assistant shortcut (if enabled), followed by a command.
Available Commands:
- "Change my Bose Mode." Siri will ask you to confirm which option you want from a list.
- "Change my Bose Mode to Quiet/Aware."
Siri will confirm that "The Bose setting was changed."
If Siri does not respond, ensure that your iOS device is set up to listen for "Hey Siri" and allows Siri when locked.

Note:
- The microphone used depends on how you summon Siri. Saying "Hey Siri" uses your phone's microphone, while pressing the shortcut button uses the headset microphone to process your request.
- This functionality requires the Shortcuts app to work. This is an Apple default app, so should already be active on your device. If you have uninstalled or it has been offloaded due to lack of use, you will need to visit the App Store to re-enable it.
