Siri is by no means universally loved by iPhone and iPad users, so it's a good thing that Apple provides a simple way to turn off the virtual assistant completely. Here's how it's done.
Mac users also have the ability to turn off Siri if they don't find the virtual assistant useful.
How to Disable Siri in iOS
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and tap Siri & Search.
- Under the Ask Siri section, tap the switches next to Listen for "Hey Siri" and Press Side Button for Siri so that both are toggled to the white OFF position.
- Confirm by tapping Turn Off Siri in the pop-up.
