Home How do you prevent Siri from responding?!

This may have been asked earlier.

I have Philips Hue lights all over my home and when I press my iPhone 14 PM right side button to wake Siri up and ask him to “turn off/on light…” He is answering “OK I turned off/on light blabla…”. While being very polite it is stressing me out! Especially late a night.
I know there is a setting to deactivate Siri responses when calling Siri from the right side button but I can’t find where it is. It did work in the past for me. I have tried to turn off several settings in the Siri settings but it did not work so far.

Anyone else? Any idea? Thanks.

Go to Settings>Siri & Search>Siri Responses>Automatic

Reading the description of that setting, it looks like it may not 100% stop audible responses but may cut them back. Not a great implementation in my book.

I could’ve sworn there used to be a setting that gave you granular control over Siri responses depending on if your device is on silent, while connected to headphones/CarPlay, always, etc but I can’t seem to find it. It might have been replaced in iOS 16 with what gwhizkids posted above.

I think you’re right about that. Was probably better the old way. I’d be interested in knowing under what circumstances it will speak. Emergencies?

Thanks but nope does not solve it.

This is probably your best option.

😅 nice workaround. Honestly I am sure there a tick or setting. I did not have that issue with my 12 PM 2 weeks ago. Only since I switch to my new 14 PM. I’ll search maybe in the home app.

Yeah, it’s pretty vague so not clue

However, Siri can’t even turn on a light bulb and we’re to trust her to distinguish between emergencies and non-emergencies? 😂
