1. Enable Hey Siri on your iPhone

The first method that you can try to fix the issue is by enabling Hey Siri on your iPhone. Sometimes after updating to iOS 16, Hey Siri gets disabled. So after updating check whether it is enabled or not. You can allow Hey Siri with the help of the following steps:

  • Go to the Settings of your iPhone.

After doing this, even if you disable the ring switch, Siri will continue to deliver voice feedback.

3. Check the Siri Volume

The next step that you can try to fix the Siri not talking issue is by adjusting the Siri Volume. The volume of Siri can be changed independently of the volume on your iPhone. It may be that Siri is responding but the volume is down. So, you are not able to listen. We will suggest you access Siri and increase the volume if she is not speaking or responding as expected.

4. Check your iPhone’s Microphone

The next method that you can try to fix the issue is by checking your iPhone’s Microphone. One of the reasons you are facing Siri not working or not talking issues is due to your iPhone microphone not working. If the microphones on your iPhone aren’t working properly, Siri might not hear what you say or reply to you. Make sure the microphones are unobstructed and clean. Remove the screen protectors or cases that might cover the microphones, clean the mics with an extremely soft toothbrush, and then try Siri once more. If Siri is still not working, then try the next step.

5. Check the Siri’s Language

The next step we will suggest to you to solve the Siri not working issue is by checking Siri’s language. Make sure you have selected the correct language for Siri so that she can listen and respond to you. To check the Siri Language, you need to follow the steps given below.

  • Open the Settings of your iPhone.
  • Go to the General option.
  • Choose the Siri option.
  • Now, go to language.
  • Select the language you will speak, not the one in which you want Siri to talk to you.

After doing this, check whether now Siri is working and responding to you or not. If Siri is still not responding, then try the next step.

6. Check Siri’s Server

The next method to solve the Siri not working issue is by checking the Apple server. If the Apple server is down, then Siri will not work properly. So, we will suggest you go to the Apple Support System Status and check whether there is a problem with Siri or not. If there is a problem, then you will have to wait for some time till Apple fixes the issue.

7. Check the Internet Connection

The next method that you can try to fix the issue is by checking your Internet connection. If you don’t have a proper Internet connection, Siri will not work properly. So, we will suggest you check whether your Internet is working properly or not. You can check your Internet speed through any Internet speed tester website.

  • Select Location Services
  • Now, choose Siri and Dictation
