   Pro-tip for the privacy-conscious community: Apple enables "Listen for" Siri by default with the iOS 17 update— regardless of your existing preference. Moreover, the onboarding modal that informs users that this feature is (re-)enabled is automatically skipped because there's no call-to-action button. This means that most users will have to go out of their way to a) read the notice and to b) disable the microphone-is-always-on version of Siri

     @DataDrivenMD @com Did you happen to install a beta version on those 3 devices?

     @com Interesting. I had 3 out of 4 devices revert to "on" but one device remain "off" — curious if you started with Siri *completely* off, if so that may be the difference

     @DataDrivenMD I just updated to iOS 17 and my Siri setting remained the same: "Listen for: Off".
