why does siri keep randomly triggering on my iphone 15 pro max when i like put it or swing it down ?

Siri keeps going off despite not holding down the power button . Before my old case was squishing the power button which made Siri trigger but now it’s not the case it’s whenever I put it down .

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

There are a few possible reasons why Siri might be randomly triggering on your iPhone 15 Pro Max when you put it down or swing it down:

  • Your iPhone is detecting a false positive for "Hey Siri." If you have "Hey Siri" enabled, your iPhone is constantly listening for the trigger phrase. It's possible that your iPhone is picking up on other sounds that sound similar to "Hey Siri," such as "hey Sarah" or "hey Siri, how's the weather today?"


Here are a few things you can try to fix the problem:

  • Turn off "Hey Siri." If you don't use "Hey Siri" very often, you can try turning it off. This will prevent your iPhone from listening to the trigger phrase and accidentally activating Siri.
  • Restart your iPhone. A simple restart can often fix minor software glitches that may be causing the problem.
  • Update to the latest version of iOS. Apple regularly releases updates to iOS that fix bugs and improve performance. An update may be available that fixes the problem with Siri randomly triggering.


If you are still having problems, you can contact Apple Support for further assistance.
