Turn Off Hey Siri from iPhone Lock Screen Only

When the Siri trigger with “Hey Siri” is enabled on your iPhone, it will work even in the lock screen. When your iPhone is locked, you can call “Hey Siri” and see the iPhone screen popping up with Siri to listen for your commands. To avoid listening for Hey Siri from lock screen only, do as follows.

1. Launch Settings on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to Siri & Search.
3. Toggle off or disable the “Allow Siri When Locked” option.

This disables Siri completely when your iPhone is in a locked state. Not even the side button can trigger Siri from your iPhone lock screen. By disabling Siri on the lock screen, you are completely free of the fear of others accessing your phone and calling anyone using Siri from the iPhone lock screen.
