Siri isn’t working on my Apple Watch

When I ask Siri a question on my watch the response is Sorry, could you say that again. I have rebooted the watch, my iPhone and unpaired/re-paired the phone/watch

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

Hey AppleSiri333,


It looks like you checked out the article about using Siri on your device. We'd like to also share another relevant article that goes over the steps on what to do if Siri isn't working on your Apple Watch:


If Siri isn't working on your Apple Watch


After each step, see if Siri responds:

1. Check the Internet connection on your Apple Watch. 
2. On your iPhone, see if Siri is turned on. Tap Settings > Siri & Search, then turn on Listen for "Hey Siri". Or tap Listen for and turn on Siri. 
3. On your Apple Watch, see if Siri is turned on. Tap Settings > Siri.
4. Restart your Apple Watch.
5. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn off Listen for "Hey Siri". Or tap Listen for > Off. Then turn it on again.
6. See if the microphone or speaker on your Apple Watch is blocked. For example, if your device has a protective case, remove it. 
7. If Siri doesn't speak on Apple Watch Series 3 or later, you might need to download its voice. The download happens when you’re on Wi-Fi and your Apple Watch is charging. To give the download time to complete, try charging your Apple Watch overnight. To check the status of the download on your Apple Watch, tap Settings > Siri, then scroll to Siri Voice. Learn which languages Siri speaks

If Siri still doesn't respond, contact Apple Support.


We hope this helps!


Best regards.
