siri not working after update to ios 16.2?

Hello vennyong1977,

It sounds like Siri isn't working as expected on your phone, right? Is it not responding to your "Hey Siri" command or it does not respond when you invoke it using the side button?

Does it give you any responses when trying to request anything?

If only Hey Siri isn't working, check out this article:

If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone

"If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone

Check a few settings on your iPhone to make sure that Siri is set up to listen and respond to your requests.

Check if "Hey Siri" is turned on

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Siri & Search.
3. From here, make sure the following settings are turned on:

• Listen for "Hey Siri"
• Allow Siri When Locked

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.

If Siri stops responding

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Siri & Search.
3. Tap Siri Responses. 
4. Tap Prefer Spoken Responses to hear Siri speak responses, even when Silent mode is turned on.

I am having a similar problem after updating to 16.2. Before the update, I was able to use "Hey Siri" in my car to call anyone (in my contacts) or send a text. But now when I say "Hey Siri", Siri doesn't respond and a circle with a car inside of it comes up. Thank you for any help

Same... since update to 16.2, Siri no longer repeats the message I want to send. Apple should be very concerned, as like many others, I now have to look at my phone while driving and try to read my message. This is wrong at so many levels.

Apple support group really needs to give us a fix, as crashing my vehicle is not an option!!!

I have a bizarre problem. If I use the command “hey Siri” and tell it to send my wife specifically a text message, Siri responds with “Hmmm, ______ doesn’t seem to be have WhatsApp messages enabled.” But everyone else seems to be fine. And there’s nothing unusual or different on her contact card than anyone else’s. I’m just so confused and annoyed

Siri s*cks* after 16.2 iphone update! I've never had a problem with it before and now it never hears me and doesn't understand my voice. HELP!

My IPad Pro 12.9” purchased in 2015 can’t work out Siri or Hey Siri as well even all your instructions were performed

its work now after I choose Voice 2 to voice 1

hope help
