iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18
I have “prefer spoken responses” on and still does not fix the problem for me.
Question marked as
My phone is now working!
So after looking at the suggestions for a fix, I discovered that a soft reset worked perfectly for me. Suddenly Siri is working and there's no dictation lag. I'm no longer grumpy with my phone. I strongly recommend this for everyone suffering lag on their 16 Pro Max (or possibly other models,) as this was a lifesaver for me.
Here's the simple process:
- Press and quickly release the Volume up button
- Press and quickly release the Volume down button
- Immediately press and hold the Side button until the screen goes blank…keep holding until you see the Apple logo (will take quite a few seconds.)
Done! This is all it took to get my phone working great. I hope it works for you, too.

There is no setting for Apple intelligence to turn off.
This was already off for me
Jpark275 you said Siri will tell you a story Siri will tell you a joke but you replied same here not talking. I don’t understand that.
I have an iPhone 16 pro and after the latest update Siri is worthless. It either doesn't respond or when it does it basically cuts out a few seconds through. Can't belive it's such garbage
When I asked Siri in IOS 17, "What's my elevation?," she would say approximately how many ft. above sea level. Now, in IOS 18, it just displays interesting question on the screen.
I did that too. It worked for about a week and now it’s doing exactly the same thing it did before I switched it over.
are we getting more smarter than Siri
or She losing more ….
I changed back to automatically response and tested asking Siri for the time when the phone was not near me. No voice response.
Exactly!!!
I tried this. It did not work for me.
The issue with that prefer setting is that it responds even when in silent mode. Silent mode should be the way to turn off responses. As it was until they screwed it up.
I’ve had it selected. I’ve unselected it. I shut down my phone restarted it. Nothing works, even though it is selected.
Man, I have tried everything that has been listed on here and some and nothing has worked. Hopefully Apple will fix this with the next update.
edited because I dared to suggest that it should have been caught before 18 was released. I used the b word.
