Apple provides a Siri voice assistant that manages various tasks on your device, accessible across all connected devices using a single Apple ID. While Siri can be useful, it may not be the most reliable voice assistant for obtaining information.
An inconvenience arises when Siri inadvertently triggers itself, especially on the Apple Watch, which listens for commands without the “Hey Siri” prompt. When the watch is raised, it may respond to unintentional commands, causing frustration for users.
Many Apple users choose not to use Siri for various reasons, and if you find yourself among them, you might prefer to disable Siri on your Apple Watch. This step-by-step guide illustrates how to deactivate Siri on your Apple Watch through the Watch application on your iPhone.
How to Turn Off Siri Voice Assistant on Apple Watch:
Step 1: Launch the Watch application on your iPhone.
Step 2: Once the app is open, tap on “My Watch” located at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Navigate to the “Watch” section and select the “Siri” option.
Step 4: In the Siri settings page, under the “Ask Siri” section, toggle off the switches for the options you wish to disable.
By following these steps, you can disable the Siri voice assistant service on your Apple Watch for the selected options. Turning off the “Raise to Speak” feature prevents Siri from being triggered when the smartwatch is raised. Additionally, disabling the “Press Digital Crown” option ensures that the voice assistant won’t activate when the crown on the device is pressed. If all three options are turned off, Siri will no longer remain active on your smartwatch.
