If your Siri isn’t lighting up or showing any signs of activity on your iPad M3, don’t worry—there are a few simple steps you can try to fix this issue. Since your iPad is new, it’s possible that a recent update might be causing the problem, but trying these solutions can help get Siri working again.
First, make sure Siri is turned on. To do this, go to Settings, tap on Siri & Search, and ensure that “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” and “Press Home for Siri” (or “Press Side Button for Siri” on newer models) are both enabled. If they are already on, toggle them off, wait a few seconds, and then turn them back on to refresh the settings.
Next, restart your iPad. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor glitches. Hold down the power button until you see the slider, then swipe to turn off. After it powers down completely, turn it back on and see if Siri responds.
If Siri still isn’t lighting up or responding, check your software update. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and see if there’s a new update available. Installing the latest version can fix bugs related to Siri and other features.
You can also try resetting your device’s settings. Head to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Keep in mind, this will reset your preferences, Wi-Fi passwords, and other personalized settings, but it won’t delete your apps or data.
If none of these steps work, it might be best to contact Apple Support directly. Since your iPad is new and under warranty, they can provide more specific assistance or arrange for a repair or replacement if needed.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the issue with Siri on your iPad. Sometimes, software updates can cause temporary issues, but they’re usually easy to resolve with a little troubleshooting.
