Siri dictation issues with AppleTv remote

When I hold the microphone button to dictate text to my AppleTV in the YouTube app Siri converts my voice to text, search results start to show up and then as soon as I release the microphone button the text disappears and so do the search results. I’ve tried resetting the remote, checked the charge level, played around with when I release the microphone button, etc and nothing seems to work. Thanks for any help / ideas.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 15

While a few others have reported the same issue, I can’t replicate it on my unit.

Update your Apple TV system software to the current (non-beta) version, if not done already. How to update your Apple TV - Apple Support


Try this for any misbehaving app:

  1. Force-quit the app, then relaunch and try again.
  2. If the issue persists, force-quit the app, restart the device, then relaunch and try again.
  3. If the issue still persists, delete the app, re-download and try again.
  4. If the issue still persists, then contact the app developer for further assistance.

Any resolve to this? It’s very frustrating but a brand new remote that’s when the issue started popping up. Put it on my main TV. Move my old black remote upstairs and now it seems to be doing the same thing. I have to say the same thing five or six times to get it to actually take, and there is no solution to this in sight that I can see. I called Apple got no results that was about a month ago, but it just seems to get worse every day.


Something that works so suddenly stop working well at all I’m so confused by this.
