Siri’s answers leave too quickly

how do I get the answers to Siri to stay up longer? I already have the pause on the longest setting, but it still only stays up a few seconds. I switched to have her read it thinking that would be the solution. At least 50% of the time instead of reading the answer, she tells me where she found it and then shuts off.

iPhone 17, iOS 26

Wondering whether just taking a quick screen shot of Siri's answer can help you keep it as long as you want.

You might want to check your iOS 26 version is up-to-date (ie: in Settings > General > Software updates).

More info: About iOS 26 Updates - Apple Support : NB: Is always wise to back-up iPhone before updating.
