Why is Siri using 84% of my battery life?

Community Answer

Siri is a big part of you phone. She is meant to help you do things faster. So having her activated is your choice, because for some people Siri works really well and for some she doesn't.

When this is turned on by accident, how do I get back to the normal screen with all my apps?

You must make sure it is not still listening. Then you hit the home button. You might need to hit the home button more than once.
