Siri not responding after iOS 18.6 update on iPhone

After updating to iOS 18.6, Siri doesn’t respond anymore, like when asking simple questions like what’s the weather or what time is it. Just blank, I also have the settings turned on for Siri to read out texts, but no sound.(Airpod pro 2) Anyone else having problems?

I have 18.6.2 and after trying the helpful suggestions above, I found that turning off then retraining Siri didn’t work, but turning off, toggling off the button just below that says something like “allow side button”, turning the phone off, then back on, then toggling the allow side button back on then retraining Siri worked like a charm. Good luck fellow Applers!

Basar's Iphone ~ Your iPhone XS could be 7 years old and the long process of applying an iOS update to an iPhone with a weak, aging battery can be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." So...


Does your iPhone XS still have its original battery?


And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
