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?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26

Yours is the first report I have seen of this issue here in Apple Support Communities, so you need to troubleshoot it on your devices. Have you tried force-restarting each iPhone?


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo (this might take longer than 10 seconds).


The operative word here is QUICKLY for the first two buttons, then a long hold for the SIDE button; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
