Siri won't work without Wifi.

How do I get it to work with cellular? I have tried turning my phone on and off, I have tried toggling settings, I have tried a bunch of things. This never used to be an issue until recently. Any suggestion?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Siri and Search why can I not use Siri. It keeps telling me there is no internet connection. I have iPhone 11 and it has only stopped working after the last three software updates. I also cannot get into Siri to toggle on and off. Please help.

Siri doesn’t work with cellular but works with Wi-Fi This started happening about a month ago, possibly due to iOS 14 update. Even with a strong LTE signal Siri doesn’t work. Siri will respond “Working on it” followed by “Something went wrong.” My wife and I have the same problem. Phones are iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Solutions suggested on the internet haven’t worked.

Siri not working when not on wifi Since upgrading to IOS 14 (I think), Siri will only work when connected to wifi on my iPhone XR. I've tried several fixes from online, and nothing seems to work. Phone is definitely connected to my carrier's network and other apps etc. work fine when not connected to wifi. Keep getting the same message "Siri not available. Your phone is not connected to the internet." I use Siri most when driving and connected to Apple CarPlay, but won't work anywhere when not connected to wifi. Suggestions?? Thanks.

Siri need an Internet connection (via wifi or via cellular data).

If it works using wifi, try contacting your carrier and check your cellular data plan.

Siri need the internet to do some its work.

Make sure you have cellular data turned on in Settings.
