Siri not responding on iPhone 16 Pro Max

As title says, Siri is not working. It only works if I press the side button, not by me saying "hey siri" etc.


I have turned siri off and back on again and done the 5 phrases to set it up and still nothing. I have changed the language, changed the voice, changed to prefer spoken response' and still nothing.


Obviously on IOS18.


Has anyone else had this issue because it is driving me mad. £1,400 for a phone and it doesn't work properly!

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

As suggested here 7 Proven ways to Fix Siri not responding on iPhone 16 pro Max I went to Siri in settings, there clicked on Siri responses and choose prefer spoken responses instead of automatic, after this as suggested did a force restart and now it's working fine.
