Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
When I hold the home button on iPhone 8 Siri is activated but won’t respond to my voice. It will respond to text requests. I have checked all 3 mics which are working fine. I can’t set up ‘Hey Siri’ either because ‘she’ can’t hear my voice
iPhone 8, iOS 16
Hello Someoneplshelpme,
A few things to check, as they may block the ability to use "Hey Siri":
Does this issue occur when the iPhone is connected to a power source, even if not normally required?
What happens if you disable Bluetooth in:
Then test it out. What happens when you attempt to set up "Hey Siri" now? Here's a quick link to set it up: Use Siri on all your Apple devices
Hoping to hear how it goes, take care.
Hi
to confirm all microphones are working fine with other apps, just not with Siri
if I use headphones with Bluetooth Siri can hear me when I press the home button but not via the phone without headphones. Also can’t set up Hey Siri because she can’t hear me to set up either
Hello Someoneplshelpme,
Thank you for posting these questions to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like there may be an issue with the microphone hardware inside your iPhone. To confirm, are you able to use the microphone with any other apps? You can test making a phone call or Voice Memo to find out.
The following Apple Support article can also help with troubleshooting this issue: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working.
If the microphone is not working with any of your apps, service may be needed. Please contact Apple Support directly for more help.
Cheers!
Everything done/checked as above but makes no difference
