iPhone 11 Possible to turn Siri off completely?

Damn thing keeps waking up when not supposed to. PITA.

Sure (this is for iOS 13): Settings -> Siri & Search -> Turn off the Siri activation methods listed (available options depend on your device).

Thanks. I will try that. I was turning off “always listen for Siri“ in settings > accessibility > Siri and that didn’t work.

Your Post isn’t clear, but you’re either inadvertently invoking Siri or you have something set where a capability of when she is activated for an alarm, Timer notifications, ect.

I am only a basic user of iPhones and that is the reason I keep an eye on this forum. I know how some stuff works and other stuff just defeats me. One of the things with the iPhone that defeats me is that when I wanted to try and turn off the annoying Siri, I used the iPhone search facility. The result was the setting I quoted previously. (“always listen for Siri“ in settings > accessibility > Siri). It would appear that things aren't always that simple.
My personal opinion of Siri is that it isn't useful for me and I just want it to leave me alone and stop just spurting out things like "I didn't understand that request", or something similar, when I haven't asked it for anything.

In my experience iPhone / iPad Settings search is a mess and has been that way for years, so don't feel bad for it leading you astray.

I hope the settings I pointed you to solved the issue.

So far, so good.
