Hey Siri asking me to unlock my iPhone for every little task

I have a 13 promax I’m running 16.3. I have the settings set that my phone does not have to be unlocked to utilize Hey Siri, this is so frustrating. I just tried to have Siri turn my do not disturb on and it’s asking me to unlock my phone. This has been going on for months. I have sent multiple feedback to Apple. I have asked Apple Support. I’ve been waiting months for an update to fix this bug. It is so frustrating it’s like having an iPhone 4.

If you give a command say, Hey Sir, what time is it? or What is the weather like outside. Then it won't ask you to unlock your iPhone.


If you ask it to perform a certain task that is private to the iPhone owner then of course the owner has to unlock the device.
