Hello Windy53Lindy,


Were you able to reset Siri by completing the steps under "Set up Siri to recognize your voice" in the guide you recently viewed? If not, let's do that now as resetting Siri can help when the feature isn't working as expected. Here are those steps and a link, just in case: If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone - Apple Support


Set up Siri to recognize your voice

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Siri & Search.
3. Turn off Listen for "Hey Siri," then turn it back on.
4. When the Set Up "Hey Siri" screen appears, tap Continue.
5. Say each command that you see on your screen.
6. Tap Done.


In addition to those steps, be sure you've installed available software updates. Software updates include bug fixes and important security updates. If an update is available, be sure to back up your iPhone first.

If the behavior continues, let us know more to continue narrowing this down:


  • Do you use a case or screen protector? If so, remove those to see if that helps as they could be blocking a microphone.
  • Does Siri work as expected if you're using headphones?


Keep us posted.


Take care!
