Turning off siri is going nowhere

got airpods? check their press-and-hold setting as well. it can still be set to siri, and then it triggers from the earbud even with everything off on the phone.

there are two separate switches and most people only flip one. in settings, open the siri section (on newer ios it's grouped with apple intelligence) and turn off the listen for siri / hey siri option AND the press side button for siri option. kill only the first and it still pops up every time you hold the side button, which is usually the complaint. while you're in there, switch off the suggestions toggles too if you don't want it in search and on the lock screen.
