For professionals sending, reading and responding to emails is must. Even as they are niggled by that frequent email notifications on their iPhones, they have to react to emails. A smart assistant residing in your iOS device, is quite helpful in sending email. So let’s learn how you can send email using Siri on iPhone and iPad.
While Siri can effortlessly carry out many other tasks, it is equally easy for her to send email. One of the benefits of sending email using Siri is you can give your thumbs and fingers some rest and be all loosey-goosey. Another benefit I can perceive of using Siri to send mail is that you can avoid that brightness of your iPhone. Why should you stare at the bright screen and damage your eyes? Not every iPhone user has got HD sunglasses to protect their eyes.
So, after enough appreciation of Siri, let’s get down to our main topic. You can ask Siri to compose a new email; you can get Siri to read your unread emails and you can also ask her to reply to an email.
How to Send Emails using Siri on iPhone and iPad
Siri is your smart assistant seated in your Apple iPhone. Let her follow your commands while you want to send, read and respond to emails.
Note that you can ask Siri to send emails to a single contact as well as multiple contacts.
Step #1: Press and hold Home button to invoke Siri; or if you have set “Hey, Siri”, just speak the two words.
Step #2: Now deliver a proper command to Siri; for example: “Send an email to William”. To send email to more than one user, use command: Send an email to Bob and George.
Step #3: If you have stored more than one email addresses of the same name, you need to tap the right one to whom you want to send an email. Siri will offer you more than one option in this case.

You can edit subject line and content of the mail by saying “change subject, “add” or “change message”. Moreover, you can tell Siri to “cancel” to discard the email completely.
Ask Hey Siri to Read Your Unread Emails
