‘Hidden’ phrases that may trigger Siri by accident

It is way too easy to ask Siri for things, mostly setting reminders. After all, Siri is always available on Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad.

Siri’s active phrase is “Hey, Siri”, meaning when you say that out loud (and the option is enabled), the virtual assistant will start listening to your commands.

“Hey, seriously?” – Works 1 out of 5 times

It all depends on the clarity of your speech and your particular dialect. Siri may start eagerly listening about 1 out of 5 times when you say this phrase.

“Hey, sir!” – Works 5 out of 5 times

By saying “Hey, sir!” Siri would always pop up and start listening. “Sir” doesn’t have an “I” in the end. But it still works.

“Hey, Terry!” – Works 1 out of 5 times

Terry, Cherry, Berry or Ciri depending on your inflection you can definitely pronounce them in a way that would get Siri to get up, and start listening to the rest of that conversation.

It’s pretty funny, but not as easy to achieve when compared with the previous two. You can find your own phrases if you look and research into it, and there would be definitely more. Especially if we widen our search into different languages.
