How to Fix Apple Intelligence Voice Siri Responses Disappearing on iPad

Select Language:

Are you having trouble with Siri on your iPad disappearing too quickly? You’re not alone. I was facing this issue myself on my iPad Air 11-inch (M2) running iPadOS 26.0.1. Every time I ask Siri a question out loud—like looking up a word or finding a contact’s address—the response appears but then vanishes after just six seconds. This makes it hard to read longer answers without rushing or taking screenshots.

Here’s what I’ve noticed and some quick tips that might help:

– When I type my questions instead of voice commands, Siri’s responses stay on the screen until I dismiss them. Using the keyboard seems to bypass the timeout.
– Responses from ChatGPT through Siri also stay visible longer, which suggests this might be an issue specific to voice interactions.
– If I tap and hold on the Siri response, it stays on the screen as long as I’m touching it. This is a good trick if you need extra time.

I also learned that a family member has the same problem on their iPad with the same software version. I’ve already sent feedback to Apple, hoping they’ll fix the bug soon.

If you’re experiencing this too, try these workarounds. Keep an eye on updates from Apple, because this could be a bug that they will address in future software releases. For now, typing your questions or touching and holding responses can help you get the info you need without it disappearing too quickly. And if you find other solutions, share them—you’re not alone in this!
