Siri not responding on iPhone 16 Pro Max

I changed from "Siri" or "Hey Siri" to just "Hey Siri" and it now works without any issues. Thanks.

That was my issue too i did everything but nothing worked.until when i went to settings,accessibility,vocal shortcuts and then add action then i typed hey siri, next open siri then save .

I turned off the apple intelligence and it fixed the problem immediately hopefully this helps some of you this was such an annoying issue for me!

Try turning off the content and privacy restrictions in screen time. It worked finally for me as it should without pressing the button.

I recently did the software upgrade to 18.5 (22F76) and everything started working the way it used to

Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Turn on > Reboot the phone.

Now “Siri,” Hey Siri” commands will work. You may turn off the Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time.

This was happening to me. I just got off the phone with Apple Tier 2. We changed the setting in Siri > Siri Responses from Automatic to Prefer spoken responses, and it's working fine. It is NOT happening JUST on 16 Pro Max. I checked my 2018 iPad and it was doing the same thing and not responding with voice (hardly use it any more). This Automatic setting is a new thing in iOS and iPad OS and it got set to be the default during the last update.

We will see if it sticks. I'm sure this is due to updates getting ready for the so-called AI that's supposed to come out with the 18.1 update on October 28. I am very concerned this is happening to so many people and that a lot of people are reporting that none of the fixes work for long. Best thing to do is see what happens with the 18.1 update. If it's still a big issue for many users, I suspect someone will be starting a class-action against Apple if they remain tight-lipped about it. Siri is, after all, a staple reason many people use an iPhone and should just work and never have an issue like this.

Settings, scroll down, Siri, turn on Talk to Siri. This fixed it for me

My issue was fixed with the new iOS 18.0.1 software update

disable your apple intelligence and select "hey Siri"

7 Proven ways... did not match the Siri settings in iOS 18 (e.g. it is now called Siri not Siri and Searh). When we migrated the data from the 15 to the 16 the phone did not prompt to set up Siri again. Something must have been garbled in the migration as the step where Siri is set up seemed to fix the unresponsive problem. I will post if Siri goes deaf again

I’ve done everything nothing worked except for resetting Siri dictation history. Everything everyone is talking about will only work temporary resetting Siri dictation history works permanently. I’ve been using it for four or five days now please spread the word so everyone knows.

Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Talk to Siri > turn on “Siri” or “Hey Siri”

siri was not responding on my 16 pro max either. I updated to ios 18.3 and that fixed my issue (at least temporary
