Siri not working, incorrectly detecting driving mode

I am encountering an issue with my iPhone where Siri thinks driving mode is active, even after I’ve switched off or completely removed Driving Focus from the Focus menu.


Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know how to fix it?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Hey Raymend,


Let's make sure that you've followed the exact steps as below to ensure you've completely turned Driving Focus off:


Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road


Turn the Driving Focus on or off

If you already have the Driving Focus set up, you can quickly turn it on or off from Control Center:

1. Open Control Center.
2. Touch and hold Focus, then tap Driving to turn it on or off.

When the Driving Focus is on, the Driving icon  appears in the status bar and on the Lock Screen, and your status is automatically displayed in the Messages app. When someone sends you a message, they'll see that you silenced notifications, but they can still notify you if something is urgent.


Also, make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS: Update your iPhone or iPad


Let us know how it goes!


Best regards.
