To silence Siri on your Apple Watch, you need to adjust its response settings within the Siri preferences, specifically choosing the "Control With Silent mode" option.
Adjusting Siri Response Settings
Silencing Siri on your Apple Watch is straightforward and can be managed directly from your device's settings. This allows you to control whether Siri speaks its responses aloud or remains silent, especially when your watch is in Silent Mode.
Follow these steps to configure Siri's response behavior:
- Go to the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
- Scroll down and tap Siri.
- Tap Siri Responses.
- You will be presented with two main options for how Siri delivers its responses.
Understanding Siri Response Options
When you navigate to Siri Responses, you'll find two distinct choices that dictate how Siri communicates with you. To effectively silence Siri, especially when your watch is set to silent, you'll want to select the Control With Silent mode option.
Here’s a breakdown of each option:
| Option | Description | Behavior in Silent Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Always On | Siri speaks responses aloud, regardless of your Apple Watch's Silent Mode. | Siri will continue to speak responses, even if muted. |
| Control With Silent mode | Siri's spoken responses are automatically silenced when your Apple Watch is set to Silent Mode. | Siri's responses will be silenced, providing a discreet experience. |
By selecting Control With Silent mode, Siri's spoken feedback will automatically be muted whenever your Apple Watch is in Silent mode, allowing for a more discreet interaction experience. This is the primary method to silence Siri on your device.
