After iOS update 18.3, Siri is not responding

After the iOS update, Siri is not responding. Go to settings and turn it back on and still not responding. Press side button and cannot do reboot. Finally get it reboot and resolve the issue. It is a bit frustrating with all the iOS update and the Apple intelligence implementation. Seems it is backwards

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

After the update, I could no longer hear Siri talking on my iPad. She responded with a message box but I could not hear her. I went to Settings, Sounds and turned the "Change with Buttons" to the ON position. I then asked Siri "What's the weather like". I then raised the volume level with the button on the side until I could finally hear her speaking. Now I can hear her.

Maybe this will work for you too.
