If you’re using iOS 26 and Siri isn’t calling your contacts even though they’re saved in your contacts list, don’t worry—there’s a simple fix. Sometimes, Siri can get confused if your contacts aren’t properly linked or if there’s a sync issue.
First, start by checking if your contacts are correctly synced with your device. Open the Contacts app and make sure all your contacts are up-to-date. If everything looks good there, try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes, a quick restart can resolve minor glitches.
Next, go to Settings and tap on Siri & Search. Make sure Siri is turned on and that you’ve granted it permission to access your contacts. It’s also a good idea to turn Siri off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
If that doesn’t work, try editing a contact and re-saving it. Sometimes, adding or updating details can help Siri recognize the contact better.
Another helpful step is to check your default contacts account. In Settings, under Contacts, see which account is set as the default. If it’s not your main account, change it to ensure Siri can access all your contacts.
Lastly, if you’re still having trouble, resetting Siri might help. You can do this by turning off Siri and then turning it back on in the Settings. Once reset, try asking Siri to call your contacts again.
Following these steps should help Siri recognize your contacts and make calls without any more fuss.
