Siri responding when watching YouTube videos

I have this weird problem with Siri responding on my iPad Pro when I watch YouTube videos on the same iPad Pro. I have turned off Siri and “Hey Siri” completely but still she activates when I watch YT-videos. If I rewind to the place where Siri activates, it does it again. It’s a bit worrying that Siri activates even though it shouldn’t when I have disabled the function. It feels like Apple is always listening!


Anyone else having this problem?

iPad Pro (3rd generation)

Hi Johnny R.,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand YouTube is prompting Siri and we're happy to help. It sounds like this is only happening with YouTube, so we'd like to focus on some steps to resolve unexpected app behavior. Start with the steps here:


1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
 
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
