How to restore the new Siri and enable typing again?

I had this problem. Mysterious. Then I remembered I read somewhere that the new Siri only works for US English. In the “Apple Intelligence & Siri” menu change the language to US English. Siri will return to her new self.

"After using the new Siri for a while, it suddenly reverted to the old ui: Today after using the new Siri for a long time, the one that glows around your screen, it suddenly reverted and I am stuck with the old Siri, not only that I cannot type to Siri"

Update your iPhone:

I see iOS 18 is installed. iOS 18.1 is the latest available iOS. So, update to it. IMPORTANT: backup your iPhone to have something to restore it from, should anything go wrong after the install.
