Why is Siri responding to my friend's voice on my iPhone?

Why is Siri responding to my friend’s voice even though I set it up for mine? He can even make calls through Siri when my phone is locked. Shouldn’t Apple be able to recognize my voice accurately?

When you first Setup Siri and went through all the spoken prompts, it only trained Siri to better respond to your voice. But not entirely and it isn’t foolproof, meaning others that may sound like you or others that can try to imitate the sound of your voice, Siri may respond to them.


You can go to Settings > Face ID and Passcode > Scroll down and turn off Siri when locked. But keep in mind that when your iPhone is locked, others will only be able to perform simple prompts to Siri such as “What is the weather”. But they will not be able to perform any sensitive prompts such as “Where is my home”.
