It happens because you are pausing after giving the "Siri" or "Hey Siri" command. You should just speak in one fluid sentence and should not pause after initiating the command as Siri is capable of processing your request without the pause.


Users who previously had other assistants like Google or Alexa struggle with this the most as they would need to issue the command to "wake up" the assistant first, then give the command. That is not necessary with Siri. You can still give feedback to Apple if you with.
