Siri can dictate your tweets to help keep your social status at its peak, but it can also keep you up-to-date on all of the goings-on in the Twitter-verse. You can find out what your favorite celebrity is tweeting about, search for a specific term, or find out what's trending on the micro-blogging social network. Here's how.

How to see what a specific person is tweeting about with Siri

  1. Press and hold down the Home button or say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Say something like What is Lady Gaga tweeting about?Siri will then pull in recent tweets by that specific person.
  3. Tap on a tweet to read more, view details, or launch in the Twitter app.

How to search a specific term or hashtag on Twitter with Siri

  1. Press and hold down the Home button or say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Say something like Search Twitter for #iPhone where you'd say hashtag followed by whatever topic you'd want. You don't have to use the hashtag if you'd prefer just searching for a general term.Siri will then pull in recent tweets containing the search term or specific hashtag.
  3. Tap on a tweet to read more, view details, or launch in the Twitter app.

  1. Press and hold down the Home button or say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri.
