    Siri with iOS 5 on iPhone 4S, where added a great charm to this Apple device, has also been reported problematic as well in a way. With great concern, it has been observed that for a pass code enabled settings on iPhone 4S, Siri can still be activated from a Lock screen.

    This security issue is a serious problem as observed by the users because it can result in an opportunity for potential harmful things and misuse of phone.iPhone voice control feature has been available for quite a long time, even before the launch od iOS 5. Something went wrong with the latest and most advance version of Siri compatible with iOS 5.

    Even if the phone is locked with a pass code, Siri can still make calls or send texts, by passing the pass code. It is basically a built in design flaw and if someone intends to take an advantage of this flaw with an intention to misuse the phone, he actually can do anything with Siri.Just to be on the safer side, disable Variable voice dialing option to avoid any misuse. It is for sure that Apple wil be very cautious to remove this error and soon a bug free iOS 5 versions will be launched by the Apple.

    The most simplest and effective solution to protect your phone from these sorts of perils, is to alter your pass code options a bit. Open the settings application then go to ‘Pass Lock Preferences’ and toggle Siri to ‘OFF’.
