Siri can be helpful but, if you have an Apple Watch, virtual assistant may appear accidentally all the time, especially when you are exercising. Next, Here's how to prevent Siri from appearing on your watch.

Why does your Apple Watch activate Siri

On the Apple Watch, by default, you can activate Siri in three ways:

  • Press and hold the Digital Crown.
  • Toca la pantalla o gira la muñeca para activar tu Apple Watch y después di “Hey siri”.
  • Raise the watch up to your mouth and start talking (con un Apple Watch Series 3 or more recent).

Unfortunately, between the three different ways (four if you add the Siri complication to your watch face), I activate Siri much more often than I intended. I accidentally hold the Digital Crown down almost every time I do a push-up, bench press or burpee, and Siri starts talking to me regularly when I'm eating, drinking or just resting my head on my hand. If you have the same kind of problems, here's how to change when Siri is activated, or turn it off completely.

How to disable Siri on your Apple Watch

On your watch, go to settings> Siri. On “Preguntar a Siri”, there are three switches:

  • Escucha ‘Hey Siri'
  • Levántate para hablar
  • Presione Digital Crown

If you want to turn Siri off completely, deshabilita los tres y después tocaApagar Siri”. Opposite case, just turn off triggers you don't want. Dejé enEscucha ‘Hey Siri'”, but I turned off the other two that I kept turning on by mistake.
