In iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, however, Siri has learned a new trick: how to reboot iPhones and iPads. Invoke Siri by holding the side button or Home button, and then say, \u201cReboot\u201d or \u201cRestart this device.\u201d (Using \u201cHey Siri\u201d can result in unexpected results, and saying \u201cRestart\u201d on its own tends to cause Music to start playing the last song.) Tap Restart, and your device reboots.
