How to teach siri my voice?

Problem with Siri responding to device owner's voice


Mother's device:

  1. iPhone 15
  2. iOS 18.4.1


She will say "Hey Siri," and get no response.

If I, her 55y/o Son says the same thing, the 'Siri Circle thing' appears on the screen, and

executes he request.


Can we Teach 'Siri' her voice?


Thanks

Thank you both for you sharing a reply!


  1. I tried turning SIRI Off, then back on again, with no luck.
  2. I tried turning SIRI Off, I rebooted Device, turned mobile on again. Then, turned on SIRI and it asked her

to repeat about 6 or 7 phrases, and she did.


SIRI now responds to her voice!


Again, thank you both!!

Yes. Go to Settings > Siri > Talk and Type to Siri > Turn off Listen for "Siri" or "Hey Siri," then turn it back on.


You will be asked to read a set of verbal prompts aloud. This will train Siri to better recognize and respond to your voice.

But it isn't entirely foolproof and others that sound like you or have the same pitch can activate Siri. But this should do it.
