How To Use Siri When iPhone Is Offline
Siri not available prompt on iPhone running Airplane Mode.
All beginnings are difficult and Siri with no Internet access makes no difference. Currently it can handle only very few and basic commands. Nevertheless, the snowball has started rolling and the feature can only expand in the near future, especially when its main rival, the Google Assistant can handle similar requests without accessing the web, since about a year already!
Using Siri When iPhone Is Offline
So, if your iOS device is in Airplane Mode, you can invoke and use the virtual assistant as long as you know which voice commands are supported when no Internet is available. Siri currently is only able to handle music playback. Use the following keywords: “Play”, “Pause”, “Next song”, “Previous song” and “Repeat music”. Don’t attempt to alter them in any way, because you’ll get the “Siri not available. You are not connected to the Internet” prompt.
Fact: Considering that all voice commands currently supported by Siri when iPhone is offline are music playback related, we can assume that Apple has added them as support for easier AirPods control. This way you don’t have to actually grab your iPhone in order to control music playback on the revolutionary wireless Earbuds.

Why can I not use Siri in my car with no internet? I use it a lot and now it’s telling me I have no internet connection!
I am having the same problem. I have always used Siri to send text messages and make calls as I am driving. Now all of a sudden Siri tells me I am not connected to the internet and I can not use it while I’m traveling. Can someone tell me how to fix the issue as I do not text and drive or us do hands on. I always use Siri so please help me get Siri working offline. Thank you
Thanks for asking. You can replace Siri with Voice Control while your iPhone is not within Internet range. You can configure voice control to call any number or a contact.
