Stop Siri from allowing access to your contacts with this tip.

Oops! With just a few taps, Siri allows access to all your contacts even if your phone is locked with a passcode! The following video shows how someone could gain access to ALL your contacts even if they don’t know your four-digit passcode.

To stop this from happening to you, you should disable Siri from operating from your phone’s lockscreen.

1) Go to Settings / ​Touch ID & Passcode (depending on your iOS version, it might just say “Passcode”).

2) Enter your passcode.

3) ​Scroll to Allow Access When Locked and now toggle off Siri.
