iOS 10, Siri invades lock screen even with the setting off
Ever since upgrading to iOS 10 (iPhone 5S) siri pops up whenever i try to unlock my phone because i'm not used to this way of unlocking yet. But siri on lock screen is off in the settings. I can shut off siri all together but i don't see that as an option.
Is this a bug in iOS 10 or am i missing something?
iPhone 5s, iOS 10, null
Same problem whatever I do if I hold the home button down that unwanted voice control starts up and I have tried everything to turn it off must be a big bug in 10. Oh and I do not have Siri in my general setting so can anyone please tell me how I can fix this bug. Yes its easy to hold the home button for that fraction of a second to many and there is nothing more irritating then that blue screen that to me reminds me of the blue screen of death back in my PC days.
Hi pr1uk,
It is the exact same issue indeed. I guess the only thing you can do is to use the temporary solution Joseph_s. gave. This won't fix the problem but you can work around it and wait for the next iOS update.
Good Luck!
Hi Joseph_S.
Thanks for replying so fast. Unfortunately it isn't a full solution because my Touch-ID can be slow so it's easy for Siri to activate but for me it will do because i hate fully pressing the button anyway 🙂
Keep up the good work!
Does not work for me I don't want passwords or finger prints I just want my phone to work without that bloody blue voice control rubbish. Just had it happen again close I shouted at the phone and yes "dialing Ray's mobile" was the response ? got a mind of it's own and useless at that.
I want a control to turn this voice control off have no Siri in the general setting so it can't be turn off that way for god sake will the programmers sort this out a simple do you want this rubbish or not a simple on and OFF
You can change the unlocking behavior of the home button back to the 'old' way in Settings>General>Accessibility>Home Button.
Turn "Rest Finger to Open" on.
Turned Rest finger to Open on,
But linger for a second and still get the blue voice control come up
Don't hold the button down. Just rest your finger on it.
easy to say and do unless you have arthritis
Hi, I had this too and I have no iPhone with Touch-ID. Therefore the workaround told by Joseph_S doesn't work for me. Out of several websites I finally got it.
If SIRI is turned off (Settings > Siri) you will have the option "voice call" in Settings > Code. If you turn this off, a longer press on the button in the lock screen will let the voice call screen appear but nothing can be done with it.
If SIRI is turned on (Settings > Siri) an option "access on lock screen" is present. Turn it off and additionally deactivate the option "Siri" in Settings > Code. Now the option "voice call" disappears on the page and the "blue screen" is gone.
I think they need to add the option "Siri" in Settings > Code independently of Siri itself turned on or off.

I turned Siri on made sure access on lock screen was disabled then turned Siri off and if I hold the home button down a fraction of a second to long up pops the useless and unwanted 'voice control" so nothing as changed here for me anyway
Sorry pr1uk,
maybe I didn't wrote it clear enough or maybe it is because of my german menu 😕. Let me try again:
1. go to "Settings > Siri" and turn on "Siri"
2. stay in "Settings > Siri" and turn off "Access on Lock Screen"
3. go to "Settings > Passcode" and turn off the option "Siri" in the section "ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED:"
4. Now go to the lock screen and try again 😉
It worked for my iPhone 5C.
I tried that I normally leave passcode off and but I even tried with it on and hold the home button for a second and that useless voice control....
Why did apple not add a control to stop this irritating thing once it even started to call my doctor and voice calling is turned OFF
