Use Your Voice To Unlock Your iPhone With This Little Known Feature

While the idea of being able to access your iPhone without having to handle it directly and only using your voice seems like a convenient idea, there are some caveats to using this method to unlock your device. For starters, in order for it to work, you would of course need to be within your iPhone’s vicinity so that the device’s microphone can pick up your voice commands. It’s also important to note that when your iPhone screen is dim, Voice Control automatically turns off — you would need to wake it up so it’s actively listening for your commands. To do this, just summon Siri so your screen becomes active and Voice Control will start listening again. In case you have Voice Control switched off manually, you can ask Siri to turn it on before you utter your unlock phrase out loud.

Finally, know that leaving Voice Control enabled is essentially leaving your iPhone microphone on so it can listen for your task requests. If you leave it permanently enabled, you might unintentionally launch commands, regardless of what app or page is currently open on your iPhone screen. It’s also worth noting that your launch command may work with other people’s voices, in the event that anyone else knows your unlock phrases. Consider turning off Voice Control when there’s no need for it and only enabling it when you anticipate having your hands full with other tasks.
