Siri keeps listening after she answers my question on my iPhone

No, you haven't all been complaining about it, and many find it to be spectacularly useful.

Assuming you've told Apple of your feelings here:

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

They will read the comments and if enough people truly hate it, they may change it in a future major release of iOS, like iOS 18.

Personally I find it to be useful as I chain commands to Siri all the time and it's wonderful to not have to prefix each one with "Siri" or "Hey, Siri."

This is the problem! Do you not understand what these other people are saying? They don’t want SIRI to “Pause” and then keep listening. As the one person said you used to have to touch the “Orb” to get SIRI to listen to another question. As it is now, when it brings up 3 choices I tend to read the first line and where it came from at the bottom out loud. By the time I get to the second or third one SIRI hears me and goes to someplace that has nothing to do with the answer I was looking for in the first place. I have spoken and written to “Support”. They have no answer for this. Please put it back the way it was! This did not make it better or easier to use. It made it much WORSE!! FIX IT, PLEASE!!!

Do you not understand you are NOT speaking with anyone from Apple here? This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't actively participate. Shouting at other users to fix anything when none of them have any anything to do with Apple will get you nothing.

There is a very simple solution if you want Siri to stop listening after you ask a question. Tap the side power button once. It can't be much easier than that.

I do realize this is not the place to ask Apple or tell Apple how to run their business, however, the hey Siri or the Siri stop or the I’m finished or whatever it is that you think you can say to Siri to stop listening only makes Siri go away. However, when Siri goes away, so does the question that you ask. If I ask Siri where the museum is in Antes, it will bring up a suggestion and then if I say stop or go away or anything else. so does the information. So all you people that think that it’s very simple to say Siri stop it doesn’t work. Let’s have all the people that don’t like this send feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and ask for a button to be able to turn this off. Thank you!

the fact we’ve all been complaining about this since they added it and they HAVEN’T REMOVED THE FEATURE… it’s so annoying having my music lowered for an extra 10-15 seconds or Siri hearing someone else talking and ignore the first question

Thank you, Dogcow-Moof. The “bug” I see is that after Siri answer my query on soccer game results & scores, and while I am reading the results out loud to my friends around me, Siri will ‘translate’ my comments as a new query, erasing my original results while displaying a new random one. I know if I say “thank you”, Siri will go away and stop listening, but the results will also go away from the screen. I have already written Apple Support. Thank you, again, for your reply.

Personally, I love it, it's nice to not have to say “Siri” each time and the few seconds before Siri stops listening doesn't hurt at all and can be easily bypassed - but that's just me.

Nope, not just you. I think it's great to not have to wake Siri again, if I want to do something follow-on.

I agree that the feature is annoying, however I have a workaround. Just screenshot the results, tap the little image in the corner, and delete when finished. Yes it’s an extra step, but it at least puts a bandage on the issue.

Apple usually doesn't provide ways to shut off useful new features.

From New Features Available With iOS 17:

This is a user to user forum, Apple is not here.

You can make a suggestion to Apple here -

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Again, you are not writing anyone from Apple on this user to user only forum. As users, we had nothing to do with how Siri works. I'm sure there are many scenarios one can come up with where something may not work optimally in that scenario. But no one here can change anything. So asking us about different scenarios we can't do anything about won't get you anything.

I recommend you share your unhappiness in how Siri operates with Apple however, which you can share here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

quadriplegic here. Same problem! I wish I could just roll back to version 15 or 16 before this was released. It is a huge accessibility issue but Apple continues to ignore accessibility community complaints.

Tell Apple what you think --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

I love this feature, there is no need to say "Hey Siri" or "Siri" a second time.

Siri only listens for a few seconds.

Hitting the side button would work fine, but what IF my phone is across the room.

Say "Siri, Stop" if your phone is across the room.

Unless you tell Siri to place a call, this will not occur as described.

Has an answer be posted to this question? Or is this a dead end?
