Let me show you how you can bring up ‘Type to Siri’ on iPad Pro and iPad Air using a shortcut on Magic Keyboard.
You Can Bring up Type to Siri Using a Shortcut on Magic Keyboard for both iPad Air and iPad Pro
With iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, Type to Siri suddenly becomes more important than ever.
However, with iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, it will be even more useful, thanks to an even smarter version of Siri with ChatGPT support.
If you’ve been using the latest software update on your iPhone and iPad for a while now, then you already know how to bring up Type to Siri.
Just double-tap at the very bottom of the display, and the keyboard will pop up, ready to take in commands.
However, with the Magic Keyboard connected to an iPad, it makes no sense to tap on the display to bring up Type to Siri, right?
I’m glad you agree.
So, with the Magic Keyboard connected, the default shortcut to bring up Type to Siri is the Globe+S key combination. Try it right now and you’ll instantly see Type to Siri come into action.
If you don’t know this already, you can use this same shortcut on the Mac as well. However, you do get the extra luxury to change the shortcut if you so like.
The amount of times I’ve used this shortcut on my iPad at this point is absolutely crazy. Just type away things like ‘set a silent timer for 10 minutes’ and see how it’s done in an instant.
You don’t have to say a single word to get things like these done when you can just type it all in pure silence. And something about typing commands makes you feel unstoppable.
I’m really waiting for iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 to come out. It is going to make Type to Siri the go-to feature for a lot of users, especially those who love using ChatGPT already.
If you really want to take things further, get that ChatGPT Plus subscription, allowing you to get 5x more messages than the standard free model.
However, if you find yourself using AI in the most average way possible, then spending money on the Plus subscription may not be worth it.
