Siri & Voice Recognition My wife and I both have iPhone 13, and she has an older iPhone 11 for work. On our personal iPhone 13s, Siri will only respond to the "Hey Siri" from the owner of the phone who set Siri up. OTOH, although I had nothing to do with setting Siri up on my wife's work phone, Siri responds to my wife's or my "Hey Siri". While that might seem to be beneficial, the other night when using my flashlight via my Siri, I think we nearly had a fire under her work phone. We checked, and her iPhone 11 from work does recognize my "Hey Siri" as well as my wife's voice. How unusual is this? Can all iPhones be made to do this? When is Siri going to get smarter? Thanks

How Siri works with multiple devices - Apple Support

I didn't see a good answer – but the article claims that "If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can place it face down so that Siri doesn't respond to your voice."

So I guess if one phone was face down, and the other was face up, only the latter phone would respond.
