So I recently brought a new xr and tried to use the “hey Siri” feature on it, my phone was in my room and I was down stairs roughly 30 ft apart and the phone didn’t hear me which I found weird because was able to do it with my old iPhone 8 np so I’m just curious how far do you need to be for “hey Siri” to activate ik it sounds stupid but I’m curious

Hey Tony1910,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand you have some questions about "Hey Siri'. I am happy to provide some information to help.
