For your information, iOS 18.4 is the latest commercial release. There is no iOS 18.4.2, and we don't even know if we'll get one. My iPhone 16 Pro Max on the latest iOS works fine with Siri. Make sure you are on that version too.


What part of your Siri isn't working? Usually Siri doesn't respond aloud or Siri does not respond at all. Below are solutions to address both those issues. Otherwise please elaborate on your issue.


If Siri doesn't respond aloud: Go to Settings > Apple Intelligence and Siri > Siri Responses > Set to Prefer Spoken Responses. If its set to that, set it to something else then back to that.


If Siri doesn't respond at all: Go to Settings > Apple Intelligence and Siri > Talk and Type to Siri > Set it to "Off" then back on to any other option. You will go through a set of prompts for you to read aloud, which will help Siri better recognize and understand your voice to respond to.
