My Siri has stopped working and the siri setting has disappeared from the settings menu in IOS 16.6. Any clues?

I have compared all my settings with my wife’s iPhone running also running IOS 16.6 but my settings are different and Siri is missing from the list.

Hey there nev128, 


There are two potential causes for this behavior. It is possible you have Screen Time restrictions enabled. To check, tap Settings > Screen Time.


Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch   


It is also possible there is a configuration profile installed on your iPhone, normally by an employer, that may restrict access to Siri.


Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone


Have a good one!
