If your iPhone 17 Pro Max isn’t responding to “Hey Siri” after the latest update, you’re not alone. Many users have experienced issues with Siri not activating properly post-update. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you fix the problem.
First, try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes, a quick restart can resolve temporary glitches after an update. If that doesn’t work, check your Siri settings. Go to Settings > Siri & Search. Make sure “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” is turned on. Also, turn off and then turn back on this feature. This can refresh Siri’s voice activation.
Next, verify your language settings. Since changing your language to Italian made Siri respond correctly without the rainbow edges and chime, try switching to your preferred language, then switch back to English (US). To do this, go to Settings > Language & Region and select the language you want. Testing Siri responsiveness after each switch can sometimes help recalibrate the feature.
If the issue persists, update your iOS again. Sometimes, Apple releases quick fixes for bugs found in updates. Check for an additional update by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Install any available updates.
Another workaround is resetting Siri. Head to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn off “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” and “Press Side Button for Siri.” Wait a few seconds, then turn them back on. You’ll need to set up “Hey Siri” again — just follow the prompts.
Finally, if nothing works, consider resetting your settings completely. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won’t delete your data but will reset system settings like Wi-Fi passwords and preferences.
If these steps don’t resolve the problem, reaching out to Apple Support is your next best move. They can help troubleshoot further or provide specific solutions for your device. Remember, software updates sometimes cause temporary bugs, but they’re usually fixed quickly with subsequent patches.
