hey siri asking to unlock make it useless

The whole point of having Hey Siri active is to be able to issue commands when your phone is not in your hands,

and that is exactly the case when using AirPods.


Some (mainly apple native) app's commands work smoothly without asking to reach the phone,

which is, when wearing AirPods tipically far or in a pocket.


Since for some apps commands is required while for other is not, this is a feature that SHOULD be available: "bypass unlock phone when using Hey Siri", an option that can be enabled per app.


Otherwise it is pretty useless and very frustrating.
