I'm just going to list them here because it's ridiculous:
You Have Choice and Control
You can turn off Ask Siri or Dictation at any time. To turn off Ask Siri, go to System Preferences > Siri, then turn off Listen for ‘Hey Siri’ and Enable Ask Siri. To turn off Dictation, open System Preferences > Keyboard > Dictation and turn off Dictation. If you turn off both Ask Siri and Dictation, Apple will delete Siri Data that is associated with the random identifier.
Request history associated with a random identifier and retained for six months or less can be deleted by going to System Preferences > Siri > Siri History and clicking Delete Siri & Dictation History.
You can control which apps can integrate with Use with Siri at any time by going to System Preferences > Siri > Siri Suggestions & Privacy > [app name] > Use with Ask Siri.
You can turn off Location Services for Siri by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy, then selecting Location Services. Click the lock to make changes and enter your password, then deselect Siri & Dictation in the list of apps and services to the right.
If you do not want Siri personalisation to sync across your devices, you can disable Siri by going to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and deselecting Siri in the list of Apps on this Mac using iCloud.
You can also restrict the ability to use Siri & Dictation altogether by going to System Preferences > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > Apps > Siri & Dictation.
You can control which apps use Siri for transcription by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Speech Recognition.
- krono 5y agoThe thing with Apple is, you can never tell whether this is genuinely done to protect people from breaking their workflows that rely on these features, or because they just really want that data. And if this really is Apple just looking out for you, they could have added a small warning to the "disable" option about the sort of functionality you'd miss out on. It all comes back down to a lack of communication or trust.
