Hey KatieKate813,


Thanks for asking Apple Support Communities about the issue you're experiencing with Siri responding slowly and sometimes not at all. We want to help! If you haven't already, restart your iPhone as restarting to can help to resolve many odd issues: Restart your iPhone


If you're still noticing slowness with Siri, when this happens, do you notice a lower cellular or Wi-Fi connection? Siri requires an internet connection to work, and can sometimes be a little slower when your connection is low: Ask Siri on iPhone


You may also want to set up Siri again by following the steps under "Set up "Hey Siri" to help Siri recognize your voice" here: If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone or iPad


Keep us posted.


Take care.
