Siri is convenient, but privacy-minded users may not want a voice assistant. Even when requests are handled carefully, voice assistants still create another path for accidental activation, sensitive requests, and personal context to leave the app you were using.

Disable Siri if you do not use it or do not want an assistant listening for wake words and responding from locked or shared situations.


Use the menu paths below on your iPhone to find the setting and apply the recommendation that fits most people.
