Siri says I need to unlock my iPhone first

Why does Siri tell me to unlock my iPhone first?


******* BEFORE YOU RESPOND *******


iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB 16.4.1 (a)


yes I have reset my phone

yes I have reset my network connection

yes I have turned Siri off, and back on

yes I have reset Siri

yes I went through retraining my voice

yes I have a valid signal on my phone (I know the iPhone test code, validated RSSI, normally around -70dbm)

yes my Wi-Fi is good (Business SLA and happens where ever I am at)


Siri will still say, "you’ll need to unlock your iPhone first"

Today is 10.3.24 at 5:21 PM EDT, and Siri continues to tell me to unlock my phone before it will make a call. However it worked perfectly fine at noon today. I have done all the troubleshooting including disabling Siri, locked settings, network settings, you name it, I’ve done it. What’s going on?
