It really shouldn't be hard to do a quick safe filter and ask "You sure you want to send that?", again, like a real human.

My point is they're really half-assed products right now that are behaving badly/immaturely.

Apparently it did have a confirm question.

Serves me right for having screen reading on near my phone.....

(jk, jk, but seriously though)

If they operate anything like the way I operate, they know there should be some kind of lock on there, they just haven't gotten around to building that part yet.

And if their management is anything like my management, they go ahead and release it anyway.

Hm. I can't "Hey Siri" someone else' phone, can I? It's certainly never worked for me.

To my knowledge, “Hey Siri” has never been tied to the owner’s voice. I was able to post to a colleague’s Facebook account a couple years ago, using nothing but voice commands. It was sitting on his desk, locked. I haven’t tried it since, and I keep it disabled on my own phone.

"Hey Siri" has in fact been tied to the owner's voice since the iPhone 6s (2015): https://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/11/apples-hey-siri-feature...

Progress! I stand corrected. Thank you.

Meanwhile, I have my Pixel lock on screen off (only because the fingerprint reader makes unlocking/turning on easy) with OK Google unlocking enabled.

The only problem here is that Google still doesn't recognise my voice half the time, perhaps because I'm never sure about how I should speak to an inanimate object.

Speaking of unlocking methods, face unlock appears to no longer be available as an option for me. I can't find it in settings anymore (smart unlock etc).

If the iPhone has a lock screen, Siri will not do any of those actions without it being unlocked first FYI.

That was definitely not the case when I tried it a couple years ago. If they’ve since locked it down, then I’m glad to hear that.
