Siri

Siri stopped working after the last software update. Now the only way to get Siri to respond is by depressing and holding the crown ...and then all I get is a message that reads "Sorry could you say that again". Twice I tried shutting my watch down...but nothing seems to help. Suggestions?

Apple Watch Series 4

Hey FenderGuitar80,


It sounds like you're having an issue with Siri on your Apple Watch. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.


We'd recommend the steps in this article: Use Siri on your Apple Watch


"If Siri doesn't respond or asks you to try again

After each step, see if Siri responds:

  1. Check the Internet connection on your Apple Watch. 
  2. On your iPhone, see if Siri is turned on. Tap Settings > Siri & Search, then turn on Listen for "Hey Siri". On iPhone X, turn on Press Side Button for Siri. On iPhone 8 or earlier, turn on Press Home for Siri. Your Apple Watch mirrors your iPhone, so you don’t need to check your watch.
  3. On your Apple Watch, see if Hey Siri is turned on. Tap Settings > Siri.
  4. Restart your Apple Watch.
  5. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Siri & Search and turn off Listen for "Hey Siri." Then turn it on again.
  6. See if the microphone or speaker on your Apple Watch is blocked. For example, if your device has a protective case, remove it. 
  7. If Siri doesn't speak on Apple Watch Series 3 or later, you might need to download its voice. The download happens when you’re on Wi-Fi and your Apple Watch is charging. To give the download time to complete, try charging your Apple Watch overnight. To check the status of the download on your Apple Watch, tap Settings > Siri, then scroll to Siri Voice. Learn which languages Siri speaks.

If Siri still doesn't respond, contact Apple Support."


Thanks!

Siri
