First (to allow SIRI), go to SETTINGS.

Then go to GENERAL.

Then go to SIRI.

Then slide the slider over until it is green...this will show that SIRI has been enabled.

I'm not absolutely positive, but I've heard that voice control works with no WIFI and has a limited command system (the program only understands basic commands). Whereas Siri works with WIFI and will search/ complete any command heard.


Hope this helps!
