No. "You have to unlock your iphone first" is such a hindrance to using Siri for anything more than setting timers and alarms. If you're doing anything that involves gloves or a mask or getting your hands messy, like in a kitchen or something, it is just so frustrating. How about making a toggle so I can choose to be slightly less locked down for Siri, and I take full responsibility if I get hacked because of it.

Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Allow Siri When Locked
Keeping in mind that this gives quite a bit of access to your data, depending on how someone wants to structure their query
Yeah. I've offset that by then long-pressing on any particularly sensitive apps I don't want to risk other people potentially being able to control via Siri and turning on "Require FaceID" just for those apps. Which then blocks Siri from being able to interact with them too.
If only that worked!

Explicitly: I have that turned on and I still need to unlock before using.
