You'll Need to Unlock your phone first....

Iphone X, current iOS (12.41). Used to be that I could leave my locked iphone in my pocket and press the steering wheel "voice" button for 3 seconds to get Siri. That still works. Used to be that I could say read me my schedule, or send text message to .....Now, when I do any of that it says, quote, You'll need to unlock your cellphone first unquote. Didn't use to do that. I've changed nothing but an update to the operating system. I still have Siri set to work when the screen is locked (hasn't changed). Nothing changed from when it WAS working. Did the 12.4 update change the ability to get Siri to do this while phone is locked?

Any thoughts?

Yes, I totally agree. I did contact Apple via phone on this and they replied that it's a security concern that would allow anyone with access to the phone to get access to your schedule via a simple siri request. It does not effect calling while the phone is locked or sending text messages while the phone is locked.

Which comment talking about USB? I reviewed both pages of this discussion and find nothing about it.

Thanks.

And if that doesn’t work, go to General>>>Reset>>>Reset All Settings

that should result in a fix.

If not let me know.

No I didn’t... but will that mean that I have to reinstall everything like it’s a new phone?

Well, I tried that and it still doesn’t open up my garage. Ironically it does close out now...

But it’s possible it did that before and I just didn’t realize it...

Has it ever opened? It may be because it just is not an option for the device.

It has never opened before, but this is the second Bluetooth device I have used and they are both fêting different companies, so that tells me that it’s an Apple issue.
