Anyone ever had an issue where Siri can't get volume info or control it?
When I do a fresh reboot, I can use Siri to control the volume (e.g. "Hey Siri, set the volume to 35%").
After a while, sometimes the same day, sometimes another day, when I try that Siri will give an error "unable to get volume info" and it'll prematurely cut.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
Since a restart fixes it temporarily, I’d treat this as a Siri/iOS issue rather than a problem with the volume buttons themselves.
The next time it happens, try other Siri requests first. If Siri still works normally but only volume requests return “unable to get volume info,” that would be useful to know.
Apple recommends turning “Siri” or “Hey Siri” off and back on under Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Talk & Type to Siri when Siri stops working correctly. If Siri isn't working on your iPhone - Apple Support
If the problem keeps returning after that and you’re on the latest iOS 26 release, I’d report the exact error to Apple. A repeatable failure that clears only after rebooting is worth having them investigate.
It's only volume. Other Siri functions work. How do I report to Apple?
