I’ve been having problems with Siri since I got my iPhone 14. Siri dose not consistently acknowledge verbally when I say “her Siri” many may not rely on Siri in this way, I do. I’ma caregiver, when my phone is on a counter away from me I need to know Siri can hear me, and acknowledge me to call someone should I need help! My phone has been reset so many times it’s ridiculous, with and without going back to factory. However it does not fix the problem. I’m angry!!!!! According to senior advisors at Apple all my settings are correct. Tell me step by step what is wrong here?
Do you have ‘Prefer Spoken Responses’ enabled? in Settings -> Siri & Search -> Siri Responses?
Update notes for iOS 16.4.1 mention a fix for ‘Siri does not respond’, what iOS version are you running?
I’ve been suffering from this issue! (Pictures not showing/loading in Messages iOS 16) I just restored and updated my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iOS 16.5, let’s see if this bug has been fixed or is still present..
