Changing 'Hey Siri' Voice Activation Command

I Know this is an old post but this made me laugh. If I have both an iPad & an iPhone (which I do hence finding this thread) then both would be programmed with my voice. How am I supposed to program one of them with a different voice?

therefo if Apple expects to sell multiple devices to individuals then they need to make a way for us to be able to use their features in such an environment.

I might have an idea. Maybe you can open the thing where you say hey Siri so that your iPhone gets used to your voice and what you say. Then, if you want to say "Hey Guy" instead of "Hey Siri", you say "Hey Guy" so that it will work. Maybe that doesn't work. I'll be sure to test it!

granted this discussion is dated, I have just discovered it with the same need. Its unfortunate there is no resolve.

As I am a newb to the board, I do find however your sarcastic remarks very unprofessional. If you are employed by Apple, I would be the first to recommend that your attitude towards customer inquiries whom are obviously devoted to the product and brand, be either corrected or you find another job that you're passionate about.

As has been pointed out at least once in this thread, no employees of Apple have posted here. As long as I stay within the terms of use of these forums, I am free to post as I deem appropriate. You have the same privilege. If, for you, that involves resurrecting old threads apparently for the sole purpose of criticizing people, well, I suppose everyone needs a hobby.

Best of luck.

I believe that if one wants to be able to use “Hey Siri” voice activation on more then one device and not have it activate both, one method would be that they could simply change the language, learn a new word and pronunciation to not have that issue.

Also as a side note, in defense of the innocent, I believe Idris has acted responsibly and patiently.

lol. Your attitude will clearly take you far in life. critique != insult. if you can't accept it, you shouldn't dish it out but instead try to assist the ones seeking help here with solutions as opposed to pointing out how much you don't know. best of luck to you dear sir.

This is the page where you set up the new voice:

You cannot. Submit your feedback to Apple here:

There really needs to be a way to change the "hey Siri" command. When one has 2 iDevices, they activate at the same time. We either need a cydia tweak or an update. But no more updates. Some fix this in Cydia, please.

There must be a way to manually change the "hey siri" in the code. But in the txt files it not "hey siri" its something strange like "@%". This must be defined somewhere else in the code! Anyone?

No, there is not. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Of course there is. They programmed it so if someone can find the code, it can be changed. They probably did a job of hiding it (e.g., "@%" instead of "hey siri" in the code.

Let me rephrase: No, you can't change it without removing the protections on the phone, leaving it open to malware and voiding the warranty on the phone. And, depending on how it's coded and encrypted, you may also run afoul of copyright laws by changing it.

eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh I don't know man. Apple is usually pretty cool with modifications like this. I think they would enjoy it, and perhaps even give me a prize were I to do it!! 😐
