If your iPhone SE running iOS 18.7 is giving you a message to “change your settings on your device” when you ask Siri to search, here are some steps you can try to fix the issue.
First, double-check your search settings. Go to Settings, then tap on Search. Make sure the search engine is set to Google. This setting ensures that Siri and your search functions are aligned with your preferred engine.
Next, look at your Siri settings. Head to Settings, then Siri. Ensure that you’ve selected the right announcement options under “Talk to Siri.” Also, check Siri Responses by tapping on it. Make sure “Prefer Spoken Responses,” “Show Siri Captions,” and “Always Show Request” are turned on. These settings help Siri communicate better with you and might resolve the popup message.
It’s also important to verify settings for Safari, since it’s closely linked with searches. In Settings, go to Apps, then Safari. Make sure all the buttons under “Siri” and “Search” are enabled. These controls help Siri use Safari for searches comfortably.
If you’ve gone through all these steps and still see the error, try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes a simple restart can fix small glitches.
If the problem persists, you might want to reset all settings. To do this, go to Settings, tap on General, then Reset, and select “Reset All Settings.” Keep in mind, this will reset all your personalized settings but won’t delete your data.
Lastly, check for any software updates. Sometimes, bugs are fixed with updates, so go to Settings > General > Software Update to make sure your device is running the latest version.
If none of these steps work, reaching out to Apple Support could be your best bet. They can help troubleshoot further and provide a solution tailored to your device.
Good luck!
