Is handsfree calling with Siri without passcode possible?

I have iPhone X, version iOS 12.0.1, Shouldn't I be able to make a call using "Hey Siri" handsfree without putting my passcode in. I am trying to find out if my phone is faulty or iphone X and newer models can't use handsfree without putting your passcode or face ID in first.

Hi T44hunter,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. From your post, I see you want to be able to use "Hey Siri" to make calls without entering your passcode.

Your iPhone X model does support hands-free use, as detailed in the article titled Devices that support "Hey Siri":

iPhone

  • iPhone X or later
  • iPhone 6s or later


If you're being prompted for your passcode, you may want to double-check one setting in particular. Try tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID), and then enable Voice Dial. Then, test it out to see if you're able to make a call hands-free.

I hope this helps out.

Have a great day.
