How to stop Siri asking for passcode when your phone your iPhone is locked and you say hey Siri for a command

Finally after using Siri for many many years and after creating my own Shortcuts for things like driving home or driving to work or doing some repetitive things I have found out how to prevent iPhone for interrupting the workflow and asking for a passcode. This passcode was often just me holding up the phone to my face to unlock it and sometimes the workflow would get interrupted.

The solution is simpler than I thought. Just go to Siri settings in the iPhone preferences in the iOS and configure Siri to not work when the iPhone is locked. In other words, require the iPhone to be unlocked before Siri side button works. That way you just hold your iPhone look at it press the side button and tell Siri whatever you want. Since the iPhone will automatically unlock when you are looking at it by the time you are done speaking to Siri the command will be executed without interruptions. Finally

(Sorry I typed these short post using Siri dictation while I don’t have time to perfect the punctuation :))
