So I'm loving Siri, but how do you get her to be quiet when the phone is in silent mode? I like that I can raise the phone and speak to Siri to keep things semi-private, but what good is that if she then says it out loud for everyone to hear? lol I'd like to just have her text come up on my screen, or for her to reply only through the earpiece and not through the speaker. Do I just have a setting wrong?
Got a tip for us?

I think if you keep the iPhone up to your ear until after she responds it only comes through the earpiece and not the speaker.

You're right! I guess it's just instinctive to immediately take it away from your ear though because many times you need to SEE what Siri delivers (the weather forecast, the text message she just composed for you, etc.). Once you take it away from your ear...she comes through the speaker. Smart...but would be better to have the option to silence her whether she's at your ear or not.
Thanks!
I did too until I got my 4s. Now when I driving, Siri is only a button touch away. Very handy if you want to text or play music while driving without having to look at your phone.
OP, are you referring to the Voice Over function or Siri? Siri never "talks" to me unless I prompt her. Press your "Home" button 3 times to toggle VO on/off.
If he does this Siri will lose all information it's picked up about its user. He'll have to 'retrain' it.
OP, there is an option in settings to disable voice feedback unless you're on a headset. Hopefully this will help
