Get the voice control app instead. Because the iPhone 4 doesn’t support Siri, the only way to install it is to jailbreak the device. But that’s not the only way to experience voice control as there are a bunch of apps that have similar and even better functionality than Siri.

Dragon Go! is one of the most popular voice control apps, developed by the Siri company itself. It works with lots of other apps, including Yelp, Spotify, Google, and more.
Dragon Diction is an add-on application on Dragon Go! allows you to experiment with your voice.

Use voice control built into iPhone 4. You may not have the Siri app, but maybe you can still give voice commands? To access the Voice Contrp function, press and hold the Home button until the function appears. The phone vibrates and beeps when Voice Control is opened.

Make a phone call by saying “Call Name ” or “Call Phone # “.
Call FaceTime by saying “FaceTime Name “.
Turn on a song by saying “Turn on song title , artist name , album “. If you say “Genius”, iTunes will automatically select a song that closely resembles the open song.

Activate Siri. Before using Siri, you need to activate it. To do this, press and hold the Home button until the Siri interface appears. Say a few simple commands like “Hello”. Wait for Siri to respond. These operations require ingenuity because often encounter errors connecting to the server. You may have to try several times to activate it.

Restarting your device can make it easier to connect to Siri.
After receiving a response from Siri, a connection has been established and you can use Siri at any time. You need to understand that Siri responds much slower than other legitimate programs because in reality, voice commands are transmitted to foreign servers for processing and sent back to your device. ^{[2] X Research Source}
