With Voice Feedback for Siri set to match your device’s sound profile, there will be some shortcomings when using the feature. If your phone isn’t in silent mode, Siri will continue to give voice feedback. What this does is that when your phone is set to vibrate only, Siri will neither speak questions nor answers out loud. Set the Voice Feedback setting to ‘Control with Ring Switch’ and you’re done. In the Settings app, go to General>Siri and tap Voice Feedback.

Here’s how to switch Siri to silent mode. Tapping the My Info button lets you assign who Siri talks to from your contacts. You’re not stuck using only one identity with Siri either. The same can be said about getting feedback from Siri: information is being transmitted through voice (as opposed to the output of data displayed on the devices screen). There’s also an option to configure Voice Feedback from Always to Handsfree Only. Users no longer need to resort to typing or touch-sensitive graphic elements to make a particular request.

Siri is meant to be controlled by audio commands and to read out texts, reminders etc, but she does come with a ‘silent’ mode which when enabled will keep her silent when your phone is set to vibrate. You can turn Siri from a she to a he using the Voice Gender option. Ignore her, and she’ll announce she didn’t quite get that in an equally loud voice. If you accidentally press too long on the home button, Siri will pop up with a very loud tone. If you ever decide to use Siri when your phone is set to vibrate, you’re already breaching some level of noise but Siri will top you because she is set to the same volume as the ringer. The camera shutter shouldn’t make a sound, neither should the keys, nor should Siri for that matter. It can help you set reminders and alarms. Get Google Assistant for hands-free help. When you’re phone is set to vibrate, you expect everything on it to respect the ‘silent’ setting. Google Assistant is an easy way to use your phone and apps, hands-free.
