Reply to a text with Siri on your Mac

Quick answer

"Reply to [name]" on your Mac and Siri drafts a Messages reply, reads it back, and sends on your okay. You can also say "send a message to [name]" to start a new one. Messages must be signed in with the same Apple Account as your iPhone.

Say this

“Reply to Sam, see you at noon”
