But doesn’t a numeric keypad pop up? Yes, it does! But there’s a way to change that!
Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn off Simple Passcode

1. Tell Siri to READ your E-mails
All you have to do is say “read my e-mails” and let Siri take over. She’ll tell you who it’s from, when it came and what it says. You can even select individuals whose e-mails you want read.
If you haven’t tried your hand at some of these, we recommend!
