Hi Munsur17,


If you have an iPhone X or later model, you can access Siri without pressing the side button by using the "Hey Siri" feature. Here's how you can enable it:

  1. Go to "Settings" on your iPhone X.
  2. Tap on "Siri & Search".
  3. Turn on the "Listen for 'Hey Siri'" toggle.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to train Siri to recognize your voice.

Once you've enabled "Hey Siri", you can activate Siri by simply saying "Hey Siri" followed by your question or command, without needing to press any buttons. Note that your iPhone will need to be unlocked for "Hey Siri" to work, unless you have "Hey Siri" enabled for when your phone is charging.


I hope this helps :)
