Some users have said that Siri is still taking over the entire screen.
Are you having this issue too? This short article explains how you can change the iPhone 18 Pro Siri screen. You can also use this article to reenable full-screen Siri on your iPhone.
Full screen Siri
If Siri still dominates the screen, that’s probably because you are using some of the iOS accessibility features. If you do not want Siri to appear in full screen mode, you will need to turn off these accessibility features. Please follow the steps below:
- On your iPhone 18 Pro, go to Settings > Accessibility
- Scroll down and tap Siri.
There are two settings that you need to find. The first one is “Show Apps Behind Siri”. If this setting is turned off, Siri will appear in full screen mode. Unless you want to restore the full screen Siri, ensure that this option is on. If you turn on this option, a full-screen takeover will not occur when you activate Siri.
Obviously, you want to turn this off, if you want to keep the old interface for Siri.
The other setting is “Type to Siri” in Settings > Siri. If this option is enabled, you can type to Siri instead of speaking to Siri. Some people may want this feature. However, if this is enabled, Siri will take over the entire screen, you will see the keyboard and an option to type a command to Siri. Furthermore, when this option is on, all Siri commands must be typed instead of spoken commands. A textual interface will appear when you summon Siri where you can write your queries to Siri. This will cover the full screen.
If you do not need this, please ensure that it is set to off.
