Are you having trouble activating the “Type to Siri” feature on your iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.5? You’re not alone. Here’s a simple way to fix it.
First, ensure that you’ve turned on Apple Intelligence. Once that’s done, you should see an option to enable Type to Siri. If the toggle isn’t showing up, don’t worry—there’s another step you can take.
Sometimes, the Type to Siri option isn’t visible in the Accessibility settings right away. To find it, go to Settings > Siri & Search. Look for the Type to Siri toggle here instead of in Accessibility. If it’s still missing, try restarting your phone and checking again.
If it still won’t appear, it might be a glitch. In that case, resetting your keyboard dictionary can help:
- Open Settings.
- Tap General.
- Scroll down and select Reset.
- Tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary and confirm.
After resetting, revisit the Siri & Search settings to see if the Type to Siri toggle appears. Once it’s there, switch it on, and you should be able to type commands to Siri instead of just speaking.
Remember, software updates can sometimes fix bugs like this, so keep your iPhone updated to the latest iOS version. If everything still doesn’t work, reaching out to Apple Support can be a good next step.
This step-by-step approach should help you enable “Type to Siri” on your device with ease.
