Go to the Settings → Touch ID & Pass code -> Disable Siri on the Lock screen. “Alternatively, you can just remove Photos access from Siri, so that anyone with the advantage of the flaw can not view any of your personal pictures.” *. Go to Settings → Privacy → Photos and then prevent Siri from accessing pictures.
