We all know Siri can do a lot, whether it's making phone calls, sending messages, or playing music. But did you know that, in some cases, Siri can also help you unlock your iPhone without a passcode? In this guide, we will show you how to unlock iPhone with Siri step by step, and we'll also explore alternative methods to unlock your iPhone if you forgot the passcode.

Part 1: How to Unlock iPhone with Siri

Siri can be used to unlock the iPhone running iOS 8 to iOS 10.1. However, this method only applies to very older iOS models to bypass the screen lock without data loss. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1. First, activate Siri by asking, "What time is it now?"

Step 2. Siri will tell you the current time and show a clock on your screen, then tap the Clock button to go to World Clock.

Step 3. Tap "+" located in the top-right corner to create a new clock.

Step 4. Enter something casual into the input box and then long-press the text to select them all. Once selected, tap Share, then choose Messages.

Step 5. This will take you to an editing window. In the "To:" entry box, type some text and click "+" to create a new contact.

Step 6. Tap on Add Photo, then select Choose Photo to go to the Photos Library app.

Step 7. Press the Home button to return to the home screen. You've successfully unlocked your iPhone with Siri without passcode.

Part 2: How to Unlock iPhone Using Custom Voice Command

Starting with iOS 14.6, Apple introduced a voice control feature that allows users to unlock iPhone using just their voice. Follow the steps below to customize a voice command to unlock your iPhone.

Step 1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control.

Step 2. Toggle on the Voice Control option and tap Customize Commands.

Step 3. Tap the Create New Command button. Then, enter a unique phrase for this new command, like "Unlock my iPhone." Tap the Action button to set actions.

Step 4. Choose Run Custom Gesture. In the new window, tap the screen in the positions corresponding to the digits as if entering your passcode. Tap Save in the top-right corner.

Step 5. You've set a voice command successfully. Lock your screen, and say " Hey, Siri. Go to Home" to go to the password screen. Then say the voice command "Unlock my iPhone", and your iPhone will tap the passcode itself and unlock your device.
