If you’re new to the iPhone 15 and find that Hey Siri suddenly stops working, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many users experience this issue, especially after updates. The good news is that it’s usually easy to fix. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get Hey Siri back up and running.
First, check if Siri is turned on. To do this, go to the Settings app. Tap on “Siri & Search,” and make sure that “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” and “Press Side Button for Siri” are both enabled. If they aren’t, just tap the switches to turn them on.
Sometimes, the problem is as simple as needing to re-enable Siri. Turn off “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’,” wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. You might be asked to set up “Hey Siri” again, which is quick and easy—just follow the prompts.
If Siri still isn’t responding, try restarting your iPhone. Hold down the side button and either volume button until the slider appears, then slide to power off. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the side button again until the Apple logo shows up.
After restarting, double-check your Siri settings. Make sure your language and voice are set correctly too. Sometimes, updates can change preferences without you noticing.
If it still doesn’t work, verify your internet connection. Siri needs data to function, so ensure you have a working Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Finally, if all else fails, updating your iPhone to the latest iOS version might help. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in new software updates. Head to Settings > General > Software Update, and follow the instructions if an update is available.
By following these steps, you should be able to get Hey Siri working again. If problems continue, consider reaching out to Apple Support for further assistance.
