Siri Requests: A Taste Of What Siri Can Do | iOS 17 Guide

Siri can be used to send messages to friends, create a reminder, call contacts, set an alarm, and plenty of other tasks. Just speak your commands to it in plain English and Siri will do its best.

By default, Siri won’t respond vocally when Silent Mode is on, and it doesn’t show captions or transcriptions either. You can change these behaviors from Settings > Siri & Search > Siri Responses.
