Hello Ranger69Rick,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
We understand that you want to turn off Siri. We are happy to help.
Please use the steps here: Change Siri settings on iPhone - Apple Support
"Change when Siri responds
You can customize if Siri responds to your voice or a button press. You can also choose what language Siri responds to.
Go to Settings
> Siri & Search, then do any of the following:
- Prevent Siri from responding to the voice request “Hey Siri”: Turn off Listen for “Hey Siri.”
- Prevent Siri from responding to the side or Home button: Turn off Press Side Button for Siri (on an iPhone with Face ID) or Press Home for Siri (on an iPhone with a Home button).
- Prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked: Turn off Allow Siri When Locked.
- Change the language Siri responds to: Tap Language, then select a new language.
You can also activate Siri by typing. See Type instead of speaking to Siri."
Let us know if you have further questions.
Take care.
