siri will not respond to my voice command

Siri will only respond to me when I press the side button. I have gone into settings 12 times to set it up and it still will not respond to my voice. What else can I do?


iPhone XS Max, iOS 16

I have been living with this issue for months.

And I was able to solve this yesterday. Try changing your Keyboard Language to English (UK) or other options.

Change Siri's Language to English (UK) too or other options.


In my case changing the language did solve the problem imediately. But next day I woke up with Siri and Dictation Working fine.

Looks like there's a bug that is related to Siri & Dictation. In my case these options were not working. But now are working after I did what I explained.
