3. Using Custom Phrases:
- Once you've created custom phrases, you can use them by saying "Hey Siri" followed by your phrase.
- For example, if you created a phrase "Work Mode" with the command "Turn on Do Not Disturb, open Calendar, and open Email", you can say "Hey Siri, Work Mode" to activate those actions.

- You can edit or delete custom phrases by tapping on them in the Custom Phrases list.
- To delete a phrase, tap on the red minus icon next to it.
- To edit a phrase, tap on it and change the Phrase or Command fields.
Example:
Imagine you often need to quickly send a message to your friend "John" with the text "I'm on my way". You can create a custom phrase "Tell John I'm coming" with the command "Send a message to John with the text 'I'm on my way'". Now, you can say "Hey Siri, Tell John I'm coming" to send the message instantly.
By using custom phrases, you can streamline your interactions with your iPhone and make it more efficient for your specific needs.
