iOS 9 Siri does NOT beep.

I upgraded to iOS 9 and if I hold the home button, Siri does not beep and I feel vibrations. And the sound appears only if I change in Siri´s volume settings the speaker to iPhone or if I swtich off vibrations, but then I don´t have vibrations. I tried to reinstall the software fourtimes, but nothing happens. I don´t know wat is wrong.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9

Thanks to Kelleherk for the reply, I have just set up my 2014 iPhone 6-plus and this seems to work fine (Siri Bleeps on pressing the home button). Alas, I added the same settings to my partners brand new 6s iPhone and the Siri Bleeps only work when you release the home button (as opposed to pressing the home button as above)! Not bothered in the discussion if it is a bug or a feature, all I want is it to work as it always did, not in different ways depending upon what iPhone you are using.

Finally! Thanks. I was so frustrated without the beep because I didn't know when to start talking, and sometimes Siri would miss the first part of what I said and I would have to start all over, or the last part of what I said, etc. Suddenly using Siri became a LOT less useful and less nice an experience. I asked Siri why she doesn't beep anymore, and was so angry when she told me "you don't need the beep." Yes, I darn well do, for the reasons I just mentioned. So I started avoiding using Siri altogether.


At least make it an obvious setting and give me the option.

FACT vs OPINION


FACT:

FEATURES work the SAME across all devices UNLESS one is informed or a statement is made that it will only work for certain devices. i.e. 4K photos.

BUGS are those things that work differently across all devices or differently across a single device.


ERGO - the loss of the Siri "Beep" is a bug.


FYI - on upgrading to 9.0.2, the lost Beep on my 6 plus amazingly reappeared. The wife's 5S was never lost.

I definitely think its a bug. I also find it strange that Siri doesn't speak back at all. Is anyone else experiencing this issue????


I ask for scores, weather, send message or any other commands and it only will display the information. Before it would say "what would you like your message to say" or speak out loud in response to anything. I found that the siri does beep back when the headphones are plugged in and you press the button from the headset to activate Siri or even the home button on the phone. But Siri will not speak out any information.


It also will beep whey you activate the "hey siri" function but will not speak out loud in that function either.


Hopefully there will be an update soon to correct these issues....
