I can't activate Siri on my apple watch even if after long press of crown.

hey Guys,

I can't activate the Siri on my apple watch by raising the screen & say "Hey Siri". Or by Long Pressing the Crown.

i Searched on the internet & checked everything on phone & watch but everything seems to be just fine. Except Siri is not waking Up.

Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 8.3

Hi!

a few things may be causing this issue.

first i'd check if you have Siri enabled on your iPhone. from your iPhone go to Settings > General > Siri. Is she turned on?

Next, from the watch i'd open Settings > General > Siri. Is she turned on?

Finally i'd make sure your privacy settings allow Siri. From the iPhone go to Settings > Privacy > Location services. Ensure Location Services is turned on. scroll down and ensure Siri & Dictation is enabled too.

So i just had the same issue, maybe a little different.

I could not raise my arm and do "hey siri" and when i held down the digital crown, the screen would go blurry like siri is about to start, but would never start. I restarted and that fixed it. Winston should get the credit here, just confirming it fixed the issue for me.


Just press and hold the only button on the watch and swipe POWER OFF, then press the button again to power her back on.
