every other town / region has its own words in Germany. people can tell when i use Siri cuz no one would actually talk / write among friends like that as in "proper german" lol OR siri simply doesnt understand what i am trying to say. I cant use it for music either cuz it never gets english words / artists right when i tell it to play english songs while being set to german
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

I get the same. Pretty sure the guy in the video accidentally unlocked it with Touch ID or something.
I am shocked:
Although I disabled Siri, you can activate Siri on my blocked iPhone5 with the home button!
how is it possible that
1) Siri can be activated although DISABLED?
2) How can it be that anyone can activate Siri even on a "securized" blocked iPhone under IOS 9.3.1 ???!!!
I begin to believe that the "fight" with the FBI is nothing but a big comedy and that apple in fact has opened all doors for them…. since 2012… (see NSA-papers from Snowdon)… while they pretend to care about customer security and privacy… it sounds more like a desperate marketing try for me….
Instead of playing in the sandbox with thinner products like little boys, apple should begin (or: restart) to develop stable, secure and usable operation systems…. what a garbage are they releasing - even the second s+++y release they give us in two weeks… a shame!
I want an OS that JUST WORKS !!!!

You sort of can. You can't totally anonymise them, but you can hide the message content:
Default settings:
alt=iOS notification shows full name and message contents
Settings -> Notifications -> App -> Toggle Show Previews
alt=iOS notification only shows name of sender, no message content visible
I think, Apple should re-land it's space ship in Redmond. This is the only thing, which doesn't fit the pattern.
Classic. I don't use a big feature, so stuff everyone. Ugh.

Let's be honest, though. Technically, it's tougher to work with languages whosewordsarethisdamnlong.
The german language is very elaborated, precise and logic (particularly the so-called "toolongwords"). even much too precise and too logic for apple….
We have dialects in Italy, too, but I speak to Siri in plain Italian, and sure she does understand.
About English names: there was an article not long ago about how Siri can now better understand region-distorted English words, and sure as hell, she gets my Italian-distorted requests for music. Strange that it does not work for German.
Yes - so tell me more about my fault.
Is it wrong to think Siri is disabled when you disabled it??
Tried on my iPhone 6S+, iOS 9.3.1: the exploit DOES NOT WORK.
I can ask Siri to search on Twitter, but she immediately asks to unlock the phone.

If it's disabled, Siri won't work. So it's not disabled.

I could start Siri from the securized screen and it even started immediately to ring someone from my contacts (the which I did not call up since two years) after I just said "hey siri" !!!
WTF is that ?????
I am getting VERY angry now…. security and privacy = ZERO...

Of course not. My point was your useless and idiotic statement about the FBI and back doors. Smells of ignorance and you could have easily left out that part in your rant.

Stop posting please you are embarrassing yourself.
Siri open WhatsApp
You dont seem to have an App called Worts Apple, Worts ab, Worts@
Guess what "Blues Spring DIN" is
I understand you are a typical apple-apologizer ?
You´d better stop apologizing important security issues…
as for the NSA papers of Snowdon: Better look at them before naming other peoples statement idiotic.. the NSA was proud to have finally access to apple products (since 2012)….
And the FBI just payed 15.000 USD to crack the phone (was done by an specialized enterprise from Israel). So much for "security barriers" of apple products…
perhaps they had just a talk with Siri…. and that´s it….

Yay! I see an update for the update of the update coming
Microsoft used to be good at that
What do you mean? That's the whole point of the "Hey Siri" function... not having to unlock the phone for basic tasks like calling. I use it all the time when driving or cooking, for example. You can disable it, of course, if it does hurt you.
Also, Siri works with your voice print, not everybody's.
[doublepost=1459854398][/doublepost]
It works like a champ here, also dropbox, street view, everything. Maybe Italian is now more important that German?
[doublepost=1459854598][/doublepost]
If they really paid $15.000 to crack one OLD phone, which happens to lack the Secure Enclave, that's quite the security barrier.
Do you think Android offers better security?

What I mean?I NEVER EVER Used Siri and I DISABLED IT.
And nevertheless - after my iPhone locked itself after a minute, I just pressed the home-button for some seconds from that "securized" and "locked" screen, the GUI of Siri appeared and - for the very first time - I just said "hey Siri!" - and Siri just told me "I connect yyou with xyz" and I found myself on the GUI of the phone-call and was connected!!!
Again:
1) I DISABLED SIRI !
2) I NEVER used Siri!
3) I could nevertheless start Siri just by simply pressing the home button and it started immediately after I just said "Hey Siri!" to connect me with someone from my contacts !!!
Is this difficult to understand??
There is a BIG SECURITY BUG indeed !!!
you press the home button shortly: You have to tap your passcode.
you press the home button for some seconds: the iPhone under IOS 9.3.1 starts SIRI although disabled, and Siri connects you immediately with someone after you just said "hey Siri!" and you find yourself on the same GUI as you do if you call intentionally someone !!!

Do you know what security flaws are? Do you think iOS is 100% bullet proof? You are clueless
So, make a video showing the disabled Siri in Settings and Siri working after that. It will earn you a lot of views for sure.
Tip: no video edits
Are you sure it wasn't Voice Control or something? Not saying you are being dishonest, but it seems highly unlikely to have happened in the way you describe.
