Siri doesn’t answer the first time but does the second time.

If I ask Siri for the temperature or the weather, Siri tells me it can’t answer because it doesn’t know my location. But if I simply repeat the same question a second time, I get the appropriate answer. I have checked my location settings, and all seem to be normal. That seems to have happened since the last update. It’s annoying to have to be repeating myself continually. I don’t know where this bug came from.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
