Siri/Hey Siri Not Responding on iOS 26.2 Siri/Hey Siri is not responding after updating to iOS 26.2. This is occurring on both my iPhone 14 Pro and my wife's iPhone 15. We both had it set up prior to updating and tried toggling it off/on again after updating and redid the setup to see if that would resolve the issue but it has not. Are others experiencing a similar issues? How can we get this working again?
