    I have Google Now on my phone which a lot like Siri, except worse. I can ask it things and command it without even having to touch it - the tradeoff is my phone is constantly listening for my voice. Google can probably hear everything I say within the vicinity of my phone. Kind of creeps me out, but that's technology for ya.

    I have Siri disabled because it creeps me out, I don't know if it's hack proof, somebody could be hearing everything I say 24/7

    Pic they can hack Siri, I'm sure they can hack the microphone regardless.

    Sorry, don't use Siri. Just another voice that has the potential to nag at me........

    Have iPhone 5 and iPad Air 2 and never even tried Siri.
    I'm more about battery life than apps
