Tell Siri about yourself on iPad

Manage Siri personalization across your Apple devices

If you use iCloud and sign in to the same Apple Account, your Siri settings stay up to date across your Apple devices using end-to-end encryption.

If you don’t want Siri personalization to stay up to date across iPad and your other devices, you can turn off Siri in iCloud settings.

  1. Go to the Settings app 👁 Image
     on your iPad.

  2. Tap your name, then tap iCloud.

  3. Tap See All, then turn off Siri.

Note: If you have Location Services turned on, the location of your device at the time you make a request is also sent to Apple to help Siri improve the accuracy of its response to your requests. To deliver relevant responses, Apple may use the IP address of your internet connection to approximate your location by matching it to a geographic region. See Control the location information you share.
