Apple 的虚拟助手Siri 可能会很有帮助(Siri, can be helpful)、很有趣，有时也会让人恼火。
您可以要求它为您做几乎任何事情，从翻译到获取天气或新闻信息、安排电话和发送短信、查找睡前故事或电影时间，或者如果您懒得自己做，可以查看您的电子邮件.
在 Siri 之前，iOS 用户拥有语音控制(voice control)功能，尽管它的功能较少，并且只允许您通过对着 iPhone 的麦克风说话来控制您的电话(Phone)、音乐和(Phone)FaceTime应用(Music)程序。(FaceTime)
Siri取代了语音控制(Voice Control)，让您更轻松地完成工作，但它也有相当多的错误。另外，如果你过分担心自己的隐私，你不会希望Siri每次说话时都在听。
如果你不使用Siri，或者你非常讨厌它，想要在你的Mac或 iOS 设备上添加一个“ (Mac)Kill Siri ”按钮，我们将向你展示如何从你的Apple设备上禁用它。您应该知道，禁用Siri意味着您不能使用任何类型的语音控制，无论是语音拨号(Voice Dial)还是听写(Dictation)。
如何在 iOS 设备上禁用 Siri(How To Disable Siri On Your iOS Device)
有两种方法可以在您的 iOS 设备上禁用Siri：部分禁用您不需要的一些功能，或者从设备的锁定屏幕中将(Lock Screen)其完全关闭。
通过进入Siri 和搜索(Siri & Search)菜单 ，可以从“设置”(Settings)应用程序打开或关闭这两项设置。
例如，如果您选择关闭允许Siri主动收听“Hey Siri ”命令的功能，它会切换该设置并且不会意外激活Siri 。
如果您只想完全禁用或关闭Siri，您可以通过转到Settings>Siri & Search并关闭“听 Hey Siri”(Listen for Hey Siri, )和“按侧边按钮”进行 Siri(Press Side Button for Siri)设置来完全禁用它。
您的 iOS 设备上将出现一条警告以禁用Siri，因此请点击关闭 Siri(Turn Off Siri)以完全禁用它并在您的设备上将其关闭。
在 iOS 上禁用Siri后，下一步通常是从您对它说的任何内容中删除所有语音数据，这些数据会传输到Apple服务器并在那里保留长达两年。
您只能通过禁用Siri从服务器中删除此类语音数据，同时禁用听写(Dictation)以便删除所有内容。
如何在 iOS 设备上禁用听写(How To Disable Dictation On iOS Devices)
- 要在您的 iOS 设备上执行此操作，请前往“设置”(Settings)并点按“通用(General)” 。
- 找到启用听写(Enable Dictation)选项并将其禁用。这将完全关闭 iOS 设备的语音命令。
如何在 Mac 上禁用 Siri(How To Disable Siri On a Mac)
在Mac上禁用Siri就像在 iOS 设备上一样简单。
- 单击Apple 菜单，( Apple Menu, )选择系统偏好设置，(System Preferences, )然后单击Siri。
- 取消选中启用询问 Siri选项，以在(Enable Ask Siri)Mac上完全关闭Siri。
如果您想删除通过Siri保存到Apple服务器的任何语音数据，您将执行与 iOS 设备相同的操作：禁用或关闭听写(Dictation)。
- 要禁用或关闭听写(Dictation)，请单击Menu > System Preferences并选择键盘(Keyboard)。
- 关闭听写(Dictation)。这不仅会从Apple 服务器(Apple Servers)中删除所有语音数据，还会关闭Mac上的语音命令。
为什么你应该从 Siri 和 Apple 服务器中删除你的语音数据(Why You Should Remove Your Voice Data from Siri and Apple Servers)
从Siri(Siri)以及最终在Apple服务器上删除或移除您的数据很容易。不过，对于注重隐私的人来说，这很重要，尤其是如果您担心Apple可能会保存您与虚拟助手的对话的那种数字录音。
Apple将此类数据用于测试和评分以改进服务。最初(Initially)，作为评分程序的一部分，人工承包商听取了iOS 或Mac用户向虚拟助手发出的(Mac)Siri命令，但后来被暂停。
也就是说，您可能仍想重新考虑如何使用Siri，但至少您现在知道如何在Mac或 iOS 设备上将其关闭，以及如何从Apple服务器上的Siri中彻底删除语音数据的任何痕迹。(Siri)
- 如果您想禁用Siri 历史记录(Siri History)收藏，请前往Settings > Privacy，然后单击“隐私(Privacy)”屏幕底部的“分析与改进”。(Analytics & Improvements)
- 如果打开了“改进 Siri 和听写”(Improve Siri & Dictation)选项，请关闭它，因为这意味着您的 iOS 设备可以与Apple共享语音片段。
只要您禁用了该选项，您就可以放心，Apple无法从您的设备查看或存储您未来交互的音频。
注意：(Note:)对于拥有多台 iOS 设备的用户，在任一设备上禁用“改进 Siri(Improve Siri)和听写(Dictation)”设置并不会在所有设备上禁用它。您必须在您使用的每台 iOS 设备上单独将其关闭。
How To Disable Siri On a Mac and iOS
Apрle’s virtual assistant Siri, can be helpful, funny, and sometimes irritating.
You can ask it to do almost anything for you from translation to getting information on the weather or news, schedule calls and sending text messages, finding a bedtime story or movie times, or checking your emails if you’re too lazy to do it yourself.
Before Siri, iOS users had voice control though it has fewer features and only allows you to control your Phone, Music, and FaceTime apps by speaking into your iPhone’s mic.
Siri replaced Voice Control to make it a lot easier for you to get stuff done, but it also has its fair share of mistakes. Plus, if you’re overly concerned about your privacy, you wouldn’t want Siri listening in every time you’re talking.
If you don’t use Siri, or you hate it so much you want a “Kill Siri” button added to your Mac or iOS device, we’re going to show you how to disable it from your Apple device. You should know though that disabling Siri means you can’t use any kind of voice control, whether that’s Voice Dial or Dictation too.
How To Disable Siri On Your iOS Device
There are two ways to disable Siri on your iOS device: partially, by disabling just a few features that you don’t want, or turn it off fully from your device’s Lock Screen.
Both these settings can be switched on or off from the Settings app by going to the Siri & Search menu.
For example, if you choose to turn off the feature that allows Siri to actively listen for the “Hey Siri” command, it toggles that setting off and Siri won’t be activated accidentally.
If you just want to disable or turn off Siri altogether, you can completely disable it by going to Settings>Siri & Search and toggle off the Listen for Hey Siri, and Press Side Button for Siri settings.
A warning will appear on your iOS device to disable Siri, so tap Turn Off Siri to completely disable it and turn it off on your device.
Once you disable Siri on iOS, the next step is usually to remove all the voice data from whatever you said to it, which is transmitted to Apple servers and stays there for up to two years.
You can only remove such voice data from the servers by disabling Siri, and also disabling Dictation so that everything is removed.
How To Disable Dictation On iOS Devices
- To do this on your iOS device, go to Settings and tap General.
- Find the Enable Dictation option and disable it. This will completely turn off voice commands for your iOS device.
How To Disable Siri On a Mac
Disabling Siri on a Mac is just as easy as it is on an iOS device.
- Click on the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, and click Siri.
- Uncheck Enable Ask Siri option, to turn off Siri completely on your Mac.
If you want to remove any of your voice data saved through Siri to Apple servers, you’ll do the same thing as with iOS devices: disable or turn off Dictation.
- To disable or turn off Dictation, click Menu > System Preferences and select Keyboard.
- Turn off Dictation. This not only removes all your voice data from Apple Servers but also turns off voice commands on your Mac.
Why You Should Remove Your Voice Data from Siri and Apple Servers
It’s easy to delete or remove your data from Siri and ultimately on Apple servers. For privacy-conscious people though, this is important especially if you’re concerned about the kind of digital recordings Apple may be holding of your conversations with the virtual assistant.
Apple uses such data for purposes of testing and grading to improve the service. Initially, human contractors listened to the Siri commands iOS or Mac users gave the virtual assistant as part of the grading program, but this has since been suspended.
That said, you may still want to rethink how you use Siri, but at least you now know how to turn it off on your Mac or iOS devices, and how to completely remove any trace of the voice data from Siri on Apple servers.
- If you want to disable the Siri History collection, go to Settings > Privacy and click Analytics & Improvements at the bottom of the Privacy screen.
- Toggle off the Improve Siri & Dictation option if it’s on, as this means your iOS device can share voice clips with Apple.
As long as you’ve disabled that option, you can rest assured that Apple can’t review or store the audio of your future interactions from your device.
Note: For users with multiple iOS devices, disabling Improve Siri & Dictation setting on either device doesn’t disable it across all your devices. You have to toggle it off separately on each of the iOS devices you use.
