As most of the Lemmy users are security/privacy minded, after a question about alternative voices I’m wondering. Why would you allow a virtual assistance to spy on you constantly? (Especially when you don’t need to due to other limitations)

And as a side note, is there a way to kill Siri completely on IOS (not just go trough all app settings and disable siri there)? (company phone, so alas not jail broken, Android is rooted and GA has been removed, as is the Google app itself)

    I use it almost exclusively to set timers when I’m cooking so I don’t have to touch anything. Once in a while I’ll use it to initiate navigation or look something up but search results have been getting increasingly shitty/useless these last few years.
