Ever have Siri yell “I didn’t catch that” during a dead-quiet stakeout at 2:11 a.m? Lesson learned: kill voice activation before the van turns into a karaoke booth…
Flip Siri to “Prefer Silent Responses” so she never talks even if she wakes — saves you from the 2 a.m. jump scare. Small caveat: an Apple Watch can still blurt if it’s listening; do you wear one?
