iPhone 13 Why is Siri consuming so much battery if I don’t use it?

[iphone27s]

I have Siri disabled for everything but the button long press and I never use it.

the why is it active at night or when I don’t use it? (Always)

I had few voice calls on WhatsApp or with the phone, are they considered as Siri?

I disable Siri through Screen Time. Maybe you should go that route too. At least on my iPad I dont see Siri comsuming considerable amount of energy.

Siri in iOS is a system process, disabling it does not mean Siri no longer functions. In fact, Siri has been integrated by Apple so deeply, disabling or not really doesn’t matter much anymore.

 

[now i see it]

When any part of Siri is activated- she’s always waiting and listening for a query. That takes energy

why would it be activated if the only mode it activates itself is by pressing a button first?
