iOS 9 Siri does NOT beep.

What ever happened to Apple consistency?

Hey siri? she beeps

Hold the button:

iPad: she beeps

iPhone 6/Plus: Only vibration unless you disable those, then she beeps

iPhone6s/Plus: she doesn't beep or vibrate

Plug in the headphones and she beeps on all of them.

Apple, please get this feature consistent across all devices like it should be.

I Had same problem on Iphone 6. sirii would not beep when home button pressed. Answer received on this site is right on the money. Go to settings/siri/accessability then go to Vibrate and turn it off! All is good. Instant fix. IOS 9 upgrade must automatically turn on vibrate.

This is not a viable solution and it does not work on the 6s phones

Headphones don't seem to work at all anymore.

I tried my headphones today, apple plug in headphones and when I hold the center button, SIRI doesn't activate anymore.. I used to use this all the time to MAKE CALLS WHILE DRIVING.. why would they remove it.?

I wish I could say that they did it to discourage your dangerous behavior. But, as it still works for me on the headset I use at work, that's probably not true. Try a different headset.

I know that Siri does not beep on IOS 9 I would really love that beep back.I'm sending them feedback to Apple so that in an update to get the beep back.

+1. I use Siri when when I'm running with my phone tucked in my running vest, and the beep let me know she was ready to take directions. Please get the beep back, beep on / off with silent switch or setting toggle.

Requesting that here will do no particular good. Use the feedback link:

Thank you! Your "work around" solution WORKS! 🙂

I now have Siri with the audible alert working.

The lack of audio or tactile feedback when one holds the home button down for an input sentence to Siri is not a "bug" in the classical sense. But it is a "bug" in the conceptual sense. A boatload of people really like and depend on the beep to alert them that Siri is, indeed, listening.

And it's not as if there were situations and/or configurations in which the user thinks they have Siri's attention, but it really isn't listening, even when the audio waveforms are present at the bottom of the screen.In other words, the committee that decided to do away with audio feedback that tells the user Siri is definitely, positively listening for an input command, got it wrong.

What's more, they didn't realize that having the beep – or at least a click/click when the button is down for a Siri command – would be a better idea than their simple solution to do away with it all together.

Which brings up a different idea. Some of the entries in this thread seem to suggest that the haptic click is present when holding the home button down for a Siri input, but my iPhone 6s+ does not do this. Never has. Is that a bug in itself, or is this phone set up wrong?

UPDATE: there's a work around: Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Vibration>OFF. The iphone WILL double beep afterwards. Warning: if you turn off vibration, the iphone WILL NOT VIBRATE EVEN IN SILENT MODE.

Yes, it will BEEP after your question has been heard. But you can't just tap and release the Home Button to cause a response from Siri, saying "it is listening – go ahead with your inquiry". That used to be the case. The committee that decided how Siri would behave is the cause of this bug.

Of course, this is using my definition of a "Bug." I say it's a Bug when a good/noble/useful feature has been deleted by someone who has the power and authority but not the consciousness to know that it was better before they diddled with it.

That new Haptic Click ought to be a part of Siri.

Consider:

1. Tap/release the home button to activate Siri. What's the logical response? It ought to be BEEP if Vibration is Off, or Haptic Click if vibration is On.

2. Tap/hold the home button to activate Siri. What's the logical response? It ought to be to Haptic Click, signaling that it is ready to listen until you release the Home Button and Haptic Click when you let go, no matter what the Vibration setting is.

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.

Bring back Siru's beep!

No one here can do that. Submit feedback.

Dumbest "feature" ever added removed.
