Q: Siri not working since ios 9.3.2 update

I updated my iPhone 6 plus to ios 9.3.2 and now siri and most my dictation software won't work   I've checked the front microphone and it is working via voice memos so it doesn't seem like the issue is the microphone itself more likely a software issue. It's very frustrating as I use Siri all the time for dictation and from my applecarplay. I've reset the phone, I've done a clean system install -  nothing works.  any ideas?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.2

    I also have this problem.

    online chat have suggested that this is a hardware issue to do with Siri itself, as I was able to get this mic to function with FaceTime

     

    ipsw.me suggests that iOS 9.3.1 is still signed at present, so may see if I can downgrade and if that changes things

    Same problem here on my iPhone 6s. Microphone works fine. Running with IOS 9.3.2. Many time restarted also restored as new iPhone. After hard reset sometimes it's working like one minute but mostly not. Still problem not solved.

    Just as an update

    I reverted back to iOS 9.2 with no change in the problem.

    I Then spoke to a genuis at my local store reporting to him that I think this occurred when I unpaired my watch to be sent off for repair.

    I was then told that the other 4 people had reported this problem had also reported this same problem to him after impairing a watch.

     

    Is this common with anyone else?

    Having same issue except mine is a refurbished 6 plus from Asurion. Definitely the rear mic that is used for front cam video. Records in complete static. I did restore from a back-up. So hopefully Apple puts out a new update to fix this issue so I don't have to wait for a new phone.

    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.? and upgraded to iOS 9.3.2 today so that I could download an app. Everything seems cool so far EXCEPT Siri doesn't respond when I hold down Home button. Sigh. I will try to update if I come across the fix.

    Same issue with iPhone 6 on ios 9.3.2 & now 9.3.3. Siri does not seem to use the microphone.

     

    Closing all apps, rebooting, no effect. Tried changing Siri's language, no effect.

     

    If I switch Siri off, "Voice Control" dialing still works, so mic is clearly still working.

     

    Problem also occurs with bluetooth-hands-free mic in car.

     

    Really frustrating.

    Same problem here, sometimes it work but mostly not, the front mic is alright and works for just about anything except audio messages in messages app and siri, as I said sometimes she pick up commands but mostly not, if its working and I try to activate "hey siri" then she stops working altogether, never was able to use hey siri ( iPhone 6S Plus ios 9.3.5 ) also tried on ios 10 beta 7, same problem. I tried everything from hard reset to factory restore ( as new )
