Hello Jlad121,


We would like to see how we can help you with activating Siri with a button. Have you had a chance to restart the iPhone since changing this Setting? If not, please do so now and let us know if the issue persists. For more information about using Siri with a button visit: Use Siri on iPhone - Apple Support


"Activate Siri with a button

When you activate Siri with a button, Siri responds silently when iPhone is in silent mode. When silent mode is off, Siri responds out loud. To change this behavior, see Change how Siri responds.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • On an iPhone with Face ID: Press and hold the side button.
    • On an iPhone with a Home button: Press and hold the Home button.
    • With EarPods: Press and hold the center or call button.
    • With CarPlay: Press and hold the voice command button on the steering wheel, or touch and hold the Home button on the CarPlay Home Screen. (See Use Siri to Control CarPlay.)
    • With Siri Eyes Free: Press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel.

2.Ask a question or make a request.

For example, say something like “What’s 18 percent of 225?” or “Set the timer for 3 minutes.”"


Cheers!
