Hey Siri not working on 7th gen iPad- already reset- any suggestions

Hi, clif160,

Thank you for stopping by the Apple Support Communities about the "Hey, Siri" feature. We understand it isn't working as expected on your iPad. You've come to the right place to get some help!

We noticed you arrived in the Apple Support Communities via the Apple Support article If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. If you've completed all the steps in this article and still cannot get Siri to respond, you'll next need to speak with Apple Support directly. You can get in touch with them using an available method here: Get Support.

Best.

On new base model iPads, like the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th gen models, as well aa older iPad models that use both a Home button and have Apple's proprietary Lightning connector port, the automatic “Hey Siri” voice command feature will ONLY work IF the iPad is plugged into power and charging.

If these iPad models are working off of normal battery power, then you MUST hold down the iPad's Home button and wait for Siri to activate to give Siri voice commands

Best of Luck to You!
