I'm using the latest iOS. Everything in Siri is working, we have "discussions", everything is ok except the web search.

She can't make a web search for anything and the answer i get is "to allow Web Search Content you ll have to change settings on your device"

yannios,


Thanks for the additional information. At this point, I suggest reinstalling iOS to see if the issue persists.


While this shouldn’t remove any information from your device, it’s a good idea to create a backup first:

To reinstall iOS, follow the steps in the article below under the section labeled “If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch”:


If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Should the issue persist after reinstalling iOS, you’ll want to contact Apple Support:


Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple


Take care.

Hi yannios,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble with Siri performing web searches. I’m happy to provide some steps that may help.


To start, I suggest making sure you’re running the latest iOS version:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Then, make sure that your Siri Settings are configured correctly:


If Siri or "Hey Siri" isn't working - Apple Support


Let me know if that helps.


Have a great day.
