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.

The best smartwatches for seniors in 2024
- According to a 2024 report, published by Global Cardiology Science & Practice, “The number of smartwatch and fitness-tracker shipments is expected to increase by 11% between 2021 and 2024.
- For seniors, we’ve broken down the models into two groups, featuring three models from traditional tech companies for seniors confident in using technology and tech devices and two others from medical alert system companies for seniors who aren’t as comfortable with technology or using smartwatches.
- The best smartwatches for seniors include the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Medical Guardian MGMove, Kanega Watch, Google Pixel Watch 3, and the Amazfit GTR 4 Smart Watch.
- When finding a well-designed watch for seniors, consider the following factors: larger, easy-to-press buttons, a larger display, clear icons, a straightforward menu structure, a dedicated emergency button, fall detection, and a comfortable, easy-to-adjust wristband.
- The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the overall best smartwatch for seniors as it’s packed with top-notch advanced health and fitness features and is rugged and water-resistant.
- The Medical Guardian MGMove and the Kanega Watch are excellent options for seniors concerned about falling or for those who prefer a medical alert systems watch.
- The Google Pixel Watch 3 and the Amazfit GTR 4 Smart Watch offer good alternatives for seniors who are Android or budget-conscious.
- When buying a smartwatch for seniors, consider the type of smartwatch, health, and safety alerts, ease of use, compatibility, health monitoring and fitness tracking, and extra fees.
- Not every smartwatch will suit every senior, so you should consider factors like screen size, overly complex interface, and short battery life.
- Although there is solid evidence that conventional smartwatches can inspire seniors to be more active, it's important to remember that not everyone positively responds to such real-time data.
