How to Turn off Type to Siri on iPhone, iPad (iOS 18/17.6.1)

The Type to Siri is an excellent feature in updated iOS. But it could be a problem that there is not any shortcut on the on-screen Siri keyboard to switch between type to Siri from voice to Siri and vice-versa. Therefore, whenever you don’t like to use text to Siri instead of talking at that moment, it will force you to turn off type to Siri on your iPhone/ iPad. And it is a little bit complicated to disable cause it appears in Accessibility instead of Siri & Search setting preferences. By the way, today, I will explain how you can turn type to Siri off hassle-free and without wasting time.

Following the given idea will let you deactivate the new Siri feature.
