Siri keeps shutting off

Siri comes up when I say "hey Siri" but shuts down before I can say anything else. Anyone else have this problem? I have an IPhone 11, iOS 14.4.2

Hi there marcy215,


Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand Siri quits on your iPhone before you're able to make any requests after saying 'Hey Siri'. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.


To start, try avoiding a pause after saying 'Hey Siri'.


"Just say "Hey Siri," then immediately say what you need. For example, say "Hey Siri, what's the weather like today?"" Learn more here:


Use Siri on all your Apple devices


"Want to make a longer request? Just press and hold the button that you use to activate Siri until you've finished making your request." Take a closer look at the 'Press and release the button' section of the link above for more information.


We hope this provides some clarity about how to best use Siri on your iPhone. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.


Take care.
