Siri is an excellent feature on iPhone and iPad. It has been there on iDevice since the launch of iPhone 4s, and it is widely used by iPhone users, who don’t want to use small keypad of the phone screen (iPad users have the benefit of a bigger keypad).
But what happens when Siri starts working automatically without receiving any command from you? It would be a fun to imagine this. When you involuntarily press the home button of you iPhone when it is locked and Siri asks: What can I help you with?
There can be many situations when you accidentally press home button; when you iPhone is in your pocket, in bag or when you hold it in your hand. This could trigger Siri and it could start some action too. If you want to turn off Siri on lockscreen in your iPhone or iPad, here is a simple method to follow.
