As a person with a speech impairment, this is a god sent and a feature that I hope Apple never takes away.

This makes siri useful in public places. ✌🏼

Too bad we can’t use both at the same time. Every time I want to change it, I have to dive deep into the settings. Not very handy.

I shouldn’t have to explore my settings to enable/disable this function. Include a ‘type-to-search bar’ when siri is activated.

Good feature if you want to be a spy, or just to be quiet...!

THANK YOU!!! This helped so much! I could not figure out how to get it off my Apple Watch

I love Siri and use it many times every day. A feature I would find helpful would be to allow it to tell the pollen count. In the summer I have many family members who suffer with allergies like I do. It would be helpful to know this just as it is the weather.

Siri is a very useful feature, and I can tell that she is getting better all the time!

Also I can use Google Assistant with speaking and without speaking at the same time ;)
