If the Hey Siri not working on iPhone issue is caused by hardware problems, or you just want to fix this issue without the help of iOS repair tool, then the following 12 methods will be helpful to you. <\/p>\n
1. Make sure Hey Siri feature is enabled<\/h3>\n
Before moving forward, make sure the Hey Siri feature is enabled.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Step 1: <\/span>Open Settings<\/strong> app on your iPhone, and tap Siri & Search<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Step 2: <\/span>Make sure the option Listen for \u201cHey Siri\u201d<\/strong> is enabled. <\/li>\n
- Step 3: <\/span>If the feature is on, turn it off and turn it back on 30 seconds later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n2. Place your iPhone face up<\/h3>\n
When you place your iPhone face down, you might not be able to call out Siri by saying \u201cHey Siri\u201d directly. To fix this issue, make sure that your iPhone screen is facing up. Alternatively, if you want to use Hey Siri feature then your iPhone is face down or covered, go to Settings > Accessibility > Siri<\/strong> and enable the Always Listen for \u201cHey Siri\u201d<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n3. Restart your iPhone<\/h3>\n
A restart might fix most of software-related issues including minor symptoms after installing a firmware update, which is also a way to clear caches, refresh apps and system functions. Steps of different models vary, follow these steps to restart your iPhone.<\/p>\n
- \n
- For an iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later model: <\/span>Press and hold either Volume button and the Side button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider to turn it off. <\/li>\n
- For an iPhone 8, 7, SE or previous model: <\/span>Press and hold the Power button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider to turn it off. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
After your iPhone is turned off, press and hold the Power button to turn it back on.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n4. Check network connection on your iPhone <\/h3>\n
If your iPhone is disconnected from a stable network, then Hey Siri will not work too. Therefore, you can use the Airplane mode to refresh the network connection. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the Airplane icon. After 30 seconds, turn it off. If it still doesn\u2019t fix Hey Siri not working on iPhone, you can reset the network to factory settings by these steps:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\nSteps:<\/span><\/p>\n
- \n
- Open Settings<\/strong> app on your iPhone.<\/li>\n
- Go to General > Reset<\/strong>, and tap Reset Network Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- If asked, enter the passcode of your lock screen to proceed.<\/li>\n
- Once the reset is done, reconnect your iPhone to a stable network to fix Hey Siri not working on iPhone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
5. Change your Siri\u2019s voice and language<\/h3>\n
If your iPhone was purchased from another region, then Siri defaults to the language from that region. Therefore, you need to reset the Siri\u2019s language.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Step 1: <\/span>Go to Settings > Siri & Search > Language<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Step 2: <\/span>Choose the language and dialect that is right for you from the list.<\/li>\n
- Step 3: <\/span>Restart your iPhone and Hey Siri should work fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n6. Check Siri app restriction<\/h3>\n
If you accidentally restricted Siri\u2019s microphone access, then the Hey Siri feature might not work properly. Or, if you recently updated your iPhone, the permissions might be overridden. Follow the steps below to open permissions for Siri.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\nSteps:<\/span><\/p>\n
- \n
- Open Settings <\/strong>app on your iPhone.<\/li>\n
- Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Select Siri and disable the restriction of microphone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
7. Check Voice Feedback feature<\/h3>\n
If your iPhone is on silent, Siri will not work properly. And the same thing happens when you turn off the Voice Feedback feature. This feature is available after an iOS 13 update. If you recently update your iPhone to iOS 13 or above, check the Voice Feedback feature by following the path below.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Step 1: <\/span>Go to Settings > Siri & Search<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Step 2: <\/span>Tap on Voice Feedback<\/strong>, and select Always On<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n8. Turn off Low Power Mode<\/h3>\n
If you have enabled Low Power Mode, and your iPhone is on extremely low battery, then this feature may limit Hey Siri. In this case, you can charge your iPhone for a while, and when the power reaches to a certain percentage, Hey Siri will start to work again. Or, you can turn off the Low Power Mode by going to Settings > Battery<\/strong> and tapping off Low Power Mode<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n9. Check your iPhone microphone<\/h3>\n
Over time, iPhone microphones can struggle to function with exposure to dust, lint, and other debris. You can clean the microphones with a toothbrush, cleaning kit, or any makeshift tool. Alternatively, if your iPhone microphones are blocked by something like the case, remove the case to let microphone work again. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n10. Update your iPhone to the latest iOS system<\/h3>\n
Every iOS system update usually comes with bug fixes. If Hey Siri not working happens after you updated your iPhone, you can wait for the latest iOS system update to fix this issue.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\nSteps:<\/span><\/p>\n
- \n
- Open Settings<\/strong> app on your iPhone.<\/li>\n
- Tap General > Software Update > Download & Install<\/strong> to download and install the latest version of iOS system.<\/li>\n
- If it says Install Now<\/strong> instead, tap on it to start updating your iPhone to the latest iOS system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
11. Force restart your iPhone<\/h3>\n
If a normal restart doesn\u2019t help you fix Hey Siri not working issue, then you can try to perform a force restart. Force restarting your device will deliberately cut off the power from your phone\u2019s battery to its hardware, so it is more thoroughly. As with a normal restart, the steps of force restart vary from different iPhone models.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n- \n
- For an iPhone 8, X, 11, 12, 13 or later model: <\/span>Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the side button until Apple logo appears.<\/li>\n
- For an iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: <\/span>Press and hold both the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until Apple logo appears.<\/li>\n
- For an iPhone 6s, SE (1st generation) or previous model: <\/span>Press and hold both the Power button and the Home button at the same time until Apple logo appears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
12. Contact Apple Support<\/h3>\n
If you still can\u2019t fix Hey Siri not working after trying all methods above, then it is time for you to contact Apple Support for a hardware inspection. Click this link<\/a> to make an appointment.<\/p>\n
- For an iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: <\/span>Press and hold both the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until Apple logo appears.<\/li>\n
- Tap General > Software Update > Download & Install<\/strong> to download and install the latest version of iOS system.<\/li>\n
- Step 2: <\/span>Tap on Voice Feedback<\/strong>, and select Always On<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Step 2: <\/span>Choose the language and dialect that is right for you from the list.<\/li>\n
- Go to General > Reset<\/strong>, and tap Reset Network Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- For an iPhone 8, 7, SE or previous model: <\/span>Press and hold the Power button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider to turn it off. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
