Apple Intelligence and Siri animation.

Does enabling Apple Intelligence for the "animated" Siri cause battery drain? One response I read said "yes" even when not using and always idling in the background and another response said "no" only when using.

I like the animation that lights up around the iPhone when using Siri !

Anyway, can one of the experts clear this up for me?

Thank you.

iPhone 17, iOS 26

Why is Siri draining so much battery on my iPhone 16 Pro Max ? I am using a 16 Promax, iOS 18.4.1 (official version not beta). A few days ago I realized that my Siri used too much battery like the below image: And as some suggestions, I have turned off Siri and all off it’s functions since 9PM yesterday: But when I check again today (18 hours from the time I turned off Siri), it is still on the top of battery draning app: I believe this is a bug or something because an AI shouldn’t use so much battery even it was disable. Please help me please! [Re-Titled by Moderator]
