How to stop an iPhone or iPad responding to Hey Siri

If you use both an iPhone and iPad it can be frustrating when the wrong device responds to Hey Siri or Siri. The solution is simple. iPhones and iPads stop responding to either Hey Siri or Siri when they are placed face down on a surface. If this doesn't work you may need to change an accesibility setting. Go to Settings / Accessibility / Siri and turn off "Always Listen for Siri".
