There used to be the option to turn off “listen for hey siri”, so the only way to engage siri was by holding the side button. It seems that feature has been removed, and changed to:
“Listen for ‘Hey Siri’ when your iPhone is facing down or covered.”
Is there some way to *never* listen for hey siri?

Re: "Odd that the Siri settings are strewn out in disparate menus".
Guess Siri is used in so many different apps / ways.
Seems much of the Siri info. is listed all in the one place in the Online iPhone User Guide>

Thanks, I was looking in “accessibility”. Odd that the Siri settings are strewn out in disparate menus.
How to turn off “Listen for Hey Siri” completely?
