As an Apple device owner, you’ve probably already been introduced to Siri, Apple’s intelligent personal assistant. Siri can be incredibly useful, but there may be times when you’d rather turn her off. Maybe you find Siri difficult to use, or maybe you’re concerned about your privacy. Whatever your reason, we understand that turning Siri off can be a little intimidating, especially if you’re not familiar with your Apple device’s settings.
Leapp helps you on your way
At leapp, we want you to feel comfortable using your Apple device, and that means having full control over its features and settings. That’s why we’ve created this step-by-step guide to help you disable Siri. Not only will we show you how to do it, but we’ll also inform you about the consequences of disabling Siri and how your privacy is protected.
How do you turn off Siri?
Turning off Siri is actually quite simple. Here are the steps you need to follow:
1. Open the Settings app on your Apple device.
2. Scroll down and tap 'Siri & Search'.
3. You will now see several options related to Siri. To disable Siri completely, turn off the following options: Listen for "Hey Siri," Press Side Button for Siri (or Press Home Button for Siri on older devices), and Allow Siri When Screen is Locked.
4. You will be asked to confirm that you want to turn off Siri. Tap 'Turn Off Siri'.
What are the consequences of disabling Siri?
Disabling Siri means you will no longer be able to give voice commands to your Apple device. This can make it harder to perform certain tasks, especially if you’re used to using Siri for things like setting timers, sending messages, or asking about the weather. However, all of your device’s functions will still work, you just won’t be able to ask Siri. While the data Siri collects is anonymous and not tied to your Apple ID, you may still feel more comfortable knowing that Siri isn’t listening. Or maybe you’ve had Siri suddenly start talking because you said something that sounded like “Hey Siri.” We understand that that can be a bit of a pain in the ass during an important call or meeting. In that case, you can of course just disable the “listen for ‘Hey Siri’” feature.
