    Settings › Safe word › Add. Allow Siri if the phone asks. “Hey Siri, start Cool Off” works without this.

  7. Lock the phone and say “Hey Siri, start Cool Off”.

    Or your own phrase. The phone stays locked.

  8. The voice starts without unlocking.

    To end it, say “Hey Siri, stop Cool Off” or use the controls on the Lock Screen.
