Hello SteveMorrison,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We have a handy article here that will help to get this resolved. Check this out:
Hey sahand162,
The following steps from the resource you came from can help:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Siri & Search.
3. Tap Siri Responses.
4. Tap Prefer Spoken Responses to hear Siri speak responses, even when Silent mode is turned on.
If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone
We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
I checked the Siri settings right away. They were all unchanged from before the iOS 16 update, yet Siri no longer worked.
As I noted earlier, when I made a request, Siri waited a few seconds, then said, “On it.” Then after a few more seconds, said something else about still working on it. Then the process failed completely, displaying (not speaking) an error message. I got the same responses whether I asked Siri to make a call or to tell me the time of day. Siri was broken.
I finally resolved the issue by making an iCloud backup, then doing a complete reset, wiping everything as though I were switching phones. After going through THAT ordeal (which included also resetting my Apple Watch), Siri began to work normally again. And it still works normally days later.
SteveMorrison,
We're happy to hear you were able to get the issue resolved.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day.
