Siri - Verbal response

Since uploading iOS version 18.1.3, when I say "hey Siri", I no longer hear any verbal response such as

'mm hmm', and furthermore, there is no visual indication on my Apple CarPlay screen that Siri is listening. This is a significant issue for me, because I frequently do long trips during which I ask Siri to do certain things such as make phone calls hands-free while my iPhone is in my pocket.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

It hasn’t been necessary to wait for Siri to prompt you for several years; with the faster processors Siri is ready as soon as you say “Siri." Just state your request as a single sentence: “Siri, call my wife” or Siri, What’s tomorrow’s weather"
