How do I create relationships for contacts on iPhone?

Now it's easier than ever to create relationships for contacts on iPhone or iPad. You can even do it without moving a finger. This comes in handy especially while you're rocking your phone hands-free, You can ask Siri to call, text, or mail your brother, mother, or lover, and the voice assistant will comply as long as you've set things up in your Contacts app. Ready to start a new relationship?

How to create relationships for contacts on iPhone using Siri

If you want to create relationships for contacts on iPhone or iPad, you can do it by asking Siri. Siri will need to learn who your wife, best friend, boss, or other relationships are before it can associate them with the proper contact. You can edit that information for yourself, but what fun is that? The more comfortable, faster way is simply to tell Siri what your relationships are.

Press and hold the Home button or say, "Hey Siri!" to activate Siri.
Tell Siri what the relationship is. For example, "Laura is my mother." Make sure you say the name exactly as it appears in your contacts.
Say Yes or tap the Save button when Siri asks you to confirm. Siri will confirm that the relationship has been added.

Now you can easily ask Siri to call your contacts without moving a finger. This is really helpful when you're in your car or you just can't pick up the phone. Of course, your car needs to be up to date. But if you've got an older, not-so-smart car, here are the best bluetooth car kits, so you can make your old car feel brand new.

This works excellently for unique relationships, but for relatives that have similar titles, it can be a problem. If you have two daughters, for instance, you'll need to assign them differently for Siri to differentiate between them. You can, of course, use things like "oldest daughter" or "youngest daughter."
