How to make phone calls with Siri when phone is locked?

Before the most recent update to 16.6.1 I was able to make calls using “Hey Siri” or holding down the power button. I never changed any settings and I still have my phone set to allow Siri when device is locked. I can hold down a missed call and call back from the Lock Screen but Siri now tells me I need to unlock my iPhone first. How can I change that?

Retrain Siri with your voice

Go to Settings > Siri & Search, turn off Listen for “Hey Siri,” then turn on Listen for “Hey Siri” again. To change Siri accessibility settings, see Use accessibility features with Siri on iPhone.
