Q: Io7 Siri allows outgoing calls and provides contact info without having the iPhone being unlocked first

Without unlocking iPhone, I can activate Siri and request contact info and initiate phone calls to anyone in the contacts or just dial the number ... Better not lose your phone....

iPhone 5, iOS 7, iPhone 5s

    Yes, that's intentional. You can turn it off by going to Settings>General>Passcode Lock. Enter your passcode, then turn off "Siri" in Allow Access When Locked.

     

    Furthermore, if you enable "Find my iPhone", you can remote wipe your phone.

     

    It's up to you how much security you want or don't want with your iPhone.
