How to turn off Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch

Siri may not be able to answer all of your queries, but it still has many useful features. If you'd prefer to keep Siri out of the way, Apple has provided a way to switch it off on one or all of your Apple devices.
You can choose to have Siri come up only when you trigger it manually with a button on your iPhone 15 rather than having it listen in for a "Hey Siri" command.
To disable Siri, go to Apple Intelligence & Siri, select Talk & type to Siri, then choose the Off option from the next screen.
This will disable Siri entirely, so it will no longer respond to voice requests. However, it does not disable the Dictation feature.
If you have HomePod speakers in your home with personal requests enabled, you'll be shown a warning advising you that your HomePods will no longer be able to recognize your voice or respond to personal requests.
Turning Siri off on your iPhone will not automatically disable is on your Apple Watch, so you'll have to do that separately if you want to ensure it's off everywhere.
Siri has gotten better at recognizing the "Hey Siri" key phrase that's used to activate it with your voice. However, it's still not perfect, and your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch can sometimes think you're calling for Siri during normal conversations.
If you usually find Siri Suggestions helpful but want to switch some or all of them off, you can do it by going to Apple Intelligence & Siri, and toggle off specific options.
You can use iCloud to sync Siri's machine-learning intelligence across all of your Apple devices. This is normally enabled by default if you opt into iCloud sharing features when setting up your iPhone or iPad, but you can switch it off at any time.
Lastly, if you're really fed up with Siri and want to replace it with something else, see our guide on how to replace Siri with ChatGPT on your iPhone.

How to fix images not showing in the Apple Mail app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

If inline images or attachments aren't loading or downloading in the stock Mail app on your Apple devices, here are 13 expert troubleshooting tips to help.
When Wi-Fi or cellular connection isn't working properly on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, inline pictures in the email body may not load.
Turn off system-wide VPN or antivirus software temporarily to check if it is causing Mail image-loading issues.
Enable 'Turn On Contact Photos' if you don’t see senders’ profile pictures in your Mail app.
If Block All Remote Content in Mail app settings is on, Mail won't load images automatically; it stops email tracking.
When an email is old, the full content needs to be fetched from the sender’s server; Mail won't be able to fetch this content.
Force quitting and reopening the Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac can fix the image loading issue.
Updating the software to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS can fix image-loading issues in the Mail app.
Finally, if all else fails, remove and re-add the email account to resolve image-loading problems.
You can save local space on your Mac by not having it download attachments automatically, but head back to Mail app Settings > Accounts and set Download Attachments to Recent or All whenever needed.
