Are you tired of Siri chiming in every time you accidentally tap your AirPods? Whether it's during a workout, commute, or just relaxing, disabling Siri on your AirPods can make your listening experience smoother. In this guide, we’ll show you the easiest ways to turn off Siri on your AirPods, so you can focus on what matters—your music, podcasts, or calls—without any interruptions.
Siri is a handy assistant, but sometimes it can be triggered unintentionally. Maybe you’re adjusting your AirPods and Siri thinks you're giving a command, or you're just not a fan of voice assistants. Whatever your reason, turning off Siri is quick and easy, and here's how to do it!
This is the most common and straightforward method to turn off Siri on your AirPods:
1. Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to Bluetooth: Scroll down and select Bluetooth.
3. Find Your AirPods: Look for your AirPods in the list of connected devices and tap the i icon next to their name.
4. Disable Siri: Under Double-Tap on AirPod or Press and Hold AirPods, select an alternative option like Play/Pause, Next Track, or Off for both the left and right AirPods.
That’s it! Now, when you tap or press your AirPods, Siri won't come to the rescue unless you call for it directly.
If you find yourself never using Siri across any of your Apple devices, you might prefer to turn off the "Hey Siri" feature entirely:
1. Open Settings: On your iPhone, go to Settings.
2. Tap Siri & Search: Scroll down and tap Siri & Search.
3. Toggle Off “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’”: Switch off the Listen for "Hey Siri" option. You can also disable the Press Side Button for Siri to fully stop Siri from being triggered.
This will disable Siri across all your connected Apple devices, so you won’t hear from Siri, even if you're holding your iPhone or using other accessories.
If you have AirPods Pro, you might want to adjust Siri's functionality without turning it off completely. Here’s how:
1. Open Settings: On your iPhone, go to Settings.
2. Find Bluetooth: Scroll down to Bluetooth and tap on it.
3. Select AirPods Pro: Tap the i icon next to your AirPods Pro.
4. Customize Press and Hold: Look for the Press and Hold AirPods option and select either Noise Control or Off instead of Siri.
This customization lets you use other AirPods Pro features, like switching between Transparency Mode and Noise Cancellation, without Siri being part of the equation.
Miss Siri already? No worries! You can re-enable Siri in the same way you turned it off. Just follow the steps above and select Siri as your preferred option again.
Whether you love Siri or just want a more hands-off experience, customizing the way Siri works (or doesn’t work) on your AirPods can make a big difference. Now you’re in full control of how you interact with your AirPods. Enjoy your uninterrupted tunes and podcasts!
Did You Know? Turning off Siri on AirPods also helps preserve battery life by reducing accidental wake-ups. It's a win-win!
