GREEK NAMES STAY GREEKEXISTING + FUTURE CONTACTSBUILT FOR HANDS-FREE MOMENTS
Siri in Greek: what about contacts?
Greek is not listed among Siri’s supported languages in Apple’s feature availability list. You can use a supported Siri language, such as English, to call contacts whose names stay in Greek: “Siri, call Γιώργος.” Pronunciation fields give Siri guidance for those names. Phonetiq adds these hints across your contact list; it doesn’t add Greek-language commands to Siri.
LESS SEARCHING. MORE LIVING.

THE MANUAL FIX · iOS 27

- 01
Open the contact
In Contacts, choose a Greek contact and tap Edit.
- 02
Add a pronunciation field
Scroll down, tap add field, then choose the first- or last-name pronunciation field.
- 03
Type how the name sounds
For example, try “YOR-gos” for Γιώργος. Add a surname hint if needed. Keep the original Greek name.
- 04
Save. Try Siri. Repeat.
Tap Done, then try “Siri, call [name]”. Adjust the hint if needed. Do the same for the next contact.

On iOS 27, use pronunciation fields. On iOS 26 and earlier, phonetic name fields help with recognition and may affect contact sorting. Apple’s contact instructions
SAME IDEA. A LOT LESS WORK.
But why do it
all by hand?
Let Phonetiq do your contact list.
And the contacts you haven’t met yet.
The contacts you have today
Process your existing contacts in one go. Phonetiq adds the name hints, while your original Greek names stay in place.
The people you add tomorrow
Turn on background processing and Phonetiq can update new contacts automatically. No need to edit every name by hand.
Your names stay on your iPhone
Processing happens on your device, with backup and restore built in.
Enable background processing in Phonetiq. iOS decides when background tasks can run.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Keep the names.
Lose the admin.
Greek is just the start. Phonetiq supports eight languages across Greek, Cyrillic and Georgian scripts.
Will my contacts still be written in Greek?
Yes. Phonetiq adds extra name hints without replacing the original names. On iOS 27, pronunciation fields also preserve the original sort order. On earlier iOS versions, phonetic fields may change how contacts sort.
Does it work for new contacts too?
Yes, when you enable background processing. iOS schedules the background work, so newly added contacts may not be processed immediately. You can also open Phonetiq and run it yourself.
Does Siri support commands in Greek?
Greek is not listed among Siri’s supported languages in Apple’s feature availability list. Phonetiq helps Siri recognise Greek contact names; it doesn’t add Greek-language commands to Siri.
How do I set up Siri to call Greek contacts?
Choose a supported language in Settings → Siri → Language (the section may be called Apple Intelligence & Siri). Add pronunciation hints to your contacts, then try a command in that language, such as “Call [name]” with English Siri.
Can I help Siri recognise Greek contacts without an app?
Yes. Open a contact, tap Edit, then add field and choose a pronunciation name field. Type how the name sounds, save and try Siri. Adjust the hint if needed. Phonetiq automates adding hints across your existing contacts.
Will Siri recognise a name immediately?
It can take up to 15 minutes for Siri to pick up the updated fields. Recognition and pronunciation can vary by name and Siri language.
Is Phonetiq accessible?
Phonetiq supports VoiceOver. Voice calling can be particularly useful for blind and low-vision people, as well as anyone who prefers to keep their phone in a pocket.
