Apple Watch randomly replying to messages

How can I stop my Apple Watch randomly replying to text messages with dictated speech?


Somehow it’s copying something I say and sending it as a reply to a recent (maybe the most recent) message thread on iMessage.


As far as I know I am not pressing or touching anything on the watch at the time, but maybe it does it when I raise my wrist. It’s happened maybe 5 times in the last month, so not super frequently, but enough to be v annoying.


Please help before it copies part of a conversation and sends it to someone it shouldn’t!!


thanks!

Try this:


On your iPhone, go to: Settings > General > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.


If that does not immediately help, try also restarting both devices afterwards. Turn both devices off, then restart your iPhone first. To turn off / restart your watch: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag the slider to turn off. When ready to turn back on, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
