Complete iPhone 3GS voice control command set
![]()
As of this date of this posting, here is the full list of the iPhone 3GS Voice Control commands available. Hopefully as this is adopted, they will roll out more – like finding a contact’s info or initiating an email by speaking the name.
Start Voice Control:
Press and hold the Home button or your headset middle button until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep.
Cancel Voice Control:
Tap the cancel button on the screen or say “cancel” to close Voice Control.
Call someone in your contacts:
* call + [name of the person or phone number]
* dial + [name of the person or phone number]
If the person has more than one phone number, add:
* home
* mobile
* work
* other
Make a correction:
* no
* nope
* not that
* not that one
* wrong
Music playback:
* play
* play music
* play + album + [name]
* play + artist + [name]
* play + playlist + [name]
* pause
* pause music
* next song
* previous song
* shuffle
Music Info:
* what’s playing
* what song is this
* who is this song by
* who sings this song
Use Genius to play similar songs:
* Genius
* play more like this
* play more songs like this
For best results:
Speak clearly, naturally (like you are making a phone call), pausing slightly so each word is distinct. Use only iPhone commands and full names or numbers.
