Siri not doing back-to-back requests since iOS 17.7 update

Since updating to iOS 17.7 on my iPhone 14PM, there are issues with Siri!


  • Siri is no longer is doing back-to-back requests when activated.


  • Ask for things like Elevation, or Restart Phone and it doesn't work.


  • Ask for directions to a contact's name and says no Contact exists.


  • Ask what is my location and it has to think for a few seconds.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution! Please look in the right direction.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

I reset Siri how you said and Back-to-back requests still are not working! Plus I restarted the phone! :(


FYI: When I updated to 17.7 somehow a couple of settings got changed. "Privacy & Security > Location Services" > Siri was set to 'Ask next time'. I had to change it to 'While using the App'.

Another bizarre setting got turned on! "Accessibility > Face ID & Attention > 'Attention Aware Features'. I have that feature OFF but it was ON after the update.

All the Siri problems reported in my first posted question still remain!


Also if you go to the Shortcut Automations, some icons pulsate:
