What is Siri?

Siri is the voice assistant built into many Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With Siri enabled, you can control various settings and features on your device by speaking to Siri. You can also ask Siri to read a message or article for you.

How to turn of Siri readings messages

If you’d like to completely turn off Siri’s ability to listen for Hey Siri, there are a few different ways to do so. Depending on your iOS device, you can toggle the setting off in the Settings app, within certain apps (like Messages), or even through Siri’s own settings.

To access Siri’s settings, open the Settings app and tap on “Siri”. Under the “General” section, you’ll find the option to toggle “Let Siri listen for Hey Siri” off.

If you want to disable Hey Siri within an individual app, open that app and look for the “Hey Siri” button in the lower-right corner of the screen. Tap on it and select “Off” from the menu that appears.

Finally, you can disable Hey Siri through Siri herself by opening her settings and selecting “Listen for Hey Siri…” from the list of options. From here, you can toggle the feature off completely or set a default behavior for when Hey Siri is activated.
