How to Enable Type to Siri on iPhone and iPad
Step #1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Step #2. Tap on Accessibility → Scroll down and tap on Siri. Step #3. Enable the toggle for Type to Siri. From now, you can give written commands to Siri, in place of voice instructions. This method prevents you from speaking to Siri. However, the voice assistant may not remain silent all the time. For example, if you type ‘How are you’ to Siri, it will talk back. To address this, from VOICE FEEDBACK (just below Type to Siri option), you may choose:
Always On: This means Siri will always give voice feedbackControl with Ring Switch: If your iPhone is in ringer mode, Siri will talk back to you. If your phone is silent, Siri will not give any voice feedback. However, it will still give voice feedback when you use ‘Hey Siri,’ Bluetooth devices, earphones, or CarPlayHands-Free Only: Siri will provide feedback only when you are using ‘Hey Siri,’ Bluetooth devices, earphones, or CarPlay

Step #1. Open the Settings app → Tap on Accessibility. Step #2. Scroll down and tap on Siri. Step #3. Disable Type to Siri. That’s all, mate! I hope this quick how-to is helpful. Siri has come a long way and is getting smarter with each update. However, it is still not as potent as the Google Assistant. For example, if you enable Type to Siri, you have to turn it off when you want to give voice feedback. The Google Assistant, on the other hand, lets you give voice feedback as well as type conveniently, all from the same screen. I would like to see such versatility with Siri on iOS 14.
