Siri in iPhone is lagging

Try these instructions (test after each attempt):

1. Update your iPhone to the latest iOS version (now 18.3.2).
2. Go to Settings>Siri>Siri & Dictation History and delete Siri & Dictation History
3. Then go to Settings>General>Keyboard and turn off Enable Dictation (if it is turned on)
4. Perform a "forced" restart or your iPhone, using these gestures: In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).
5. Go back to Settings>General>Keyboard and turn on Enable Dictation (if it was previously turned off).

If the issue still persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Contact Apple for support and service , or make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

(*) You can do it:

• Online:--> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple;
• Contacting a local Apple Store or AASP among the list provided above;
• Using the "Apple Store" app, available and downloadable from AppStore.

No user actions will fix all that is broken with Siri. Apple’s “intelligence” and Siri are laughable in March 2025.

I’m not upgrading anything until Apple takes user concerns seriously.
