How to turn off type to Siri

How can I turn of “type to Siri” and turn on the voice command so Siri responds when I pick my phone up and say “Hey Siri?” My granddaughter “helped” me last night on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and when I push side button and say “Hey Siri” I get a space to “type to Siri.”

iPhone X, 16

How do I change Siri’s response when I say “hey Siri“? How can I change Siri’s response when I say “Hey Siri” on my iPhone 16 Pro? I frequently work in dimly lit and confined spaces, several feet from my phone. I need my phone to respond in a loud and clear voice when I call to it. Currently, all it does is highlight the screen in a psychedelic manner and then buzz. In previous versions, the phone would at least reply with “uh huh.” I assume that with Siri’s upgrade, there are more possible responses. So, what’s the secret to unlocking Siri’s full capabilities?

Go to Settings>Accessibility>Siri>Type to Siri and turn it off.

FYI: I didn't know how to turn this off, either. I figured this out by typing "Type to Siri" in the search bar in Settings. Something to try the next time you get stuck.
