Siri not working

Mine and my significant other Siri is not functioning properly. You ask a question and the purple swirl just keeps swirling on both phone. Sometimes it say Can not accept requests now, please try again later.

If it says Try Again Later... then you need to wait and try again later! It's saying that because Siri is either under maintenance/modification at the time to fix bugs, or it is not forming a good enough internet connection wherever you are to use Siri. You can check your Siri Settings in Settings > General > Siri, or refresh your connection with the servers by Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

If Siri is not responding, try the following approach to make it work. This is taken from HeySiri.com.


To fix Siri do the following things in order:

1. First turn off Siri by going to:
Settings → General → Siri

2. Go to Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings

Your iPhone will take a few seconds to reboot. Now turn Siri back on in
Settings → General → Siri .

I tried it and it worked again straight away!
