why do i always have to call for Siri twice before she answers me?

The 1st time when i called, it would come out for a sec and quickly showed 5 petals turning and disappeared. Only when I called it for the 2nd time, it would remain for longer for me to speak. Why is this happening and can I change it to stay on when I call upon Siri on 1st attempt?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Hi chewonit,


Try to disable than enable again "Hey Siri":

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Siri & Search.
  3. Turn off Listen for "Hey Siri," then turn it back on.
  4. When the Set Up "Hey Siri" screen appears, tap Continue.
  5. Say each command that you see on your screen.
  6. Tap Done.
