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

I had similar issues until I rebooted the phone.


I tried turning Hey Siri off/on, retraining, switching from “Hey Siri” only to “Siri or Hey Siri”; all without any luck. On a whim, I powered off the phone and tried again once it came back up. Things are now working as expected.
