Hi, there is a problem with Siri. It's not working on iPhone XR (iOS 16.1) if I connect my Apple Watch (watchOS 9) with the phone. If I erase my phone, Siri works. But if I connect my apple watch again, Siri just disappears from the phone menu. What can I do about it? I like Siri and this situation just ****** me off
iPhone XR, iOS 16
Hello Xeyoka,
We'd confirm Siri is supported where the Apple Watch was originally purchased: watchOS - Feature Availability
Check for Screen Time restrictions: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
On your iPhone, go to:
Let us know how it goes, take care.
Hello Xeyoka,
We would first recommend backing up and updating your iPhone to the iOS 16.2 version that is currently available. Updating not only updates the security on your iPhone, but includes bug fixes too.
If needed, here is the link: Update your iPhone or iPad
Reach back out if this continues after updating.
Take care!
Hey. After pairing my Apple Watch with my phone, "Siri & Search" item just disappears from Settings on my phone. Before pairing everything is ok. On my watch this options just blocked, I can't turn them on.
Hey there Xeyoka,
We want to make sure we understand the issue correctly. Are you saying that after pairing your Apple Watch you're not able to summon Siri?
If you go to Settings > Siri & Search, do you see the options for Siri there including "Hey Siri", "Press Side Button for Siri" and "Allow Siri When Locked"?
Regards.
Nope, it’s not working
Yes, thank you! I turned off Screen time and everything is good now.
Thank you again
