Siri won't access health data on iOS 17.2

I had same issue but now it’s working.

• Make sure your Language settings in Siri & Search is English(American)
• Then go to Siri voice and make sure variety is American and Voice 1-5 are downloaded.

Spot on, i just changed Language settings in Siri & Search to English American (United States) and voice 4 was already selected and it worked first go - thank you

Just confirmed with Apple Support from Texas, this new feature with Siri is only limited to US and Mainland China at the moment so all other countries have to wait their turn.....unfortunately.

Same for me. I am in Canada. Apple support had no idea about this problem when I contacted them which is pretty bad if there was a known geographic limitation. Instead they had me jump through lots of hoops resetting stuff and unpairing my watch and all kinds of things that took time to restore then they just disconnected me. Great support. Then I found out it does not work outside of US.

I first just changed it to English(American), still didn't work as of Apr 7, 2024. I added every voice (1-5) on the same day, and it finally started working. I really shouldn't have to change to those specific voices or even English(American) - up until today I used English (Australian, Canadian, & every other version of English) with no problem in other applications.

Should this be a bug report?

I have the Apple Watch 9 and accessing health data via Siri only pulls up the Activity Circle. I tried those questions suggested in Apple's Newsroom update (link at very top of this page), 99% won't work and Siri reply asking me to open the Health app instead.

Regarding the option in Health app asking access to Siri, I did not see such an option but did turn it on in Priacy & Security under Settings on my iPhone 14 Pro.

It may work in Texas, doesn't work in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin. Tried using Apple Watch 6, Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Series 9 and series 7, with combinations of Iphone 12 max and Iphone 15 (pro max).

Still won't work for Canadian. Forcing the language to English (American) would only mess up the Siri response, as per warning message on the iPhone since it recognize my location since the very beginning.

Maybe TX, but not Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and left out Indiana in my other response. Variety of phones and watches. If it's limited to the US, it should be all states, not TX. Took our watches and phones to a Chicago Apple store, they saw it fail every time as well.

Initially when I asked for help at the Apple Store, the staff there said they can only deal with hardware issue, leaving the software problem to Apple Support via phone communication. So if enough users have the same problem report to them, may be they can look into issue further on. With holiday coming just around the corner, I doubt this will be resolved before the New Year.

Yep, the same for me. All I get is Siri saying it cant help me with that , try the Health App 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah agreed. I reported the same earlier today in the UK. It seam this hasn’t been very well communicated by Apple.

Still doesn’t work for me in the UK. Have tried setting language and voice to USA/American but still no joy. Very frustrating as it must be an easy fix for Apple to roll out.

With WWDC coming this June, hopefully Apple would bring this Siri feature worldwide, besides from the announcement of iOS 18.
