Turn off Siri: How to do it

Siri is the name of the voice assistant that is now installed by default on all Apple devices. However, if you don't need Siri or want to better protect your data, you can easily turn it off.

How to proceed to turn off Siri on your iOS device?

The voice assistant Siri can perform functions for you such as activating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, creating notes or making calls. In doing so, if the "Hey Siri" function is activated, you don't even need to take your iPhone in your hand, but can only control it with the help of your voice. At the same time, however, this is also associated with higher power consumption and lower battery life, which is why it can be advantageous to deactivate Siri when not in use.

Switch off Siri in just a few steps

To switch off Siri you must proceed as follows:

1. First open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Then navigate to the menu item "Siri & Search" and select it.
3. You are now in the Siri menu and can change the setting of the controller. Move this so that it is grayed out.
4. Depending on the version of your iPhone, it may be that you also have to select the option "Disable Siri".
5. Siri is now disabled. Durch Drücken der Home-Taste reaktivieren Sie die alte Sprachsteuerung anstelle von Siri.
