The tutorial below will direct you to the Restrictions menu, where you can find an option that will effectively remove Siri from your iPhone. This adjustment can later be reversed, but turning off Siri in this fashion will completely disable her on your iPhone.

Disabling Siri on an iPhone 6

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 6 Plus, in iOS 9. These same steps will work for other iPhone models that are using iOS 9 as well. The end result of the process below is that all Siri features on your iPhone will be turned off, and the Siri menu that is typically found on the General menu will no longer be there. If you wish to use Siri again in the future, then you will need to perform these steps again so that you can access the menu that we will be removing. Would you instead prefer to only disable certain aspects of the Siri feature? For example, you could configure Siri so that she is not accessible from the lock screen, or you could remove the Siri suggestions from Spotlight Search.
