Q: Since uploading IOS9 Siri no longer makes that ding sound when I press the home button.

Siri no longer makes any sound when I press the Home button.  All I see are the words "What can I help you with".  I do hear when she answers my question.  This has all happened since I downloaded the latest update.  I didn't happen when I updated my iPad.  It still is the same on that.  I have the iPhone 6 Plus.  Has anyone else had this problem?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3

    Greetings virginiafrompunta gorda,

     

    Thank you for your continued involvement in the Apple Support Communities! :) 

     

    After upgrading your iPhone to iOS 9, you will no longer makes the sound when you hold the Home button to activate Siri. 

     

    If Siri doesn't make a sound when you hold down the Home button

    On your iPad or iPod touch, Siri will chime when it’s time to ask a question. If you have an iPhone with iOS 9 or later, Siri will vibrate instead. You'll only hear the chime on your iPhone with iOS 9 or later when you're using headphones.

     

    Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    I know that some unexpected changes when updating software can be frustrating, especially if you were not aware this is now expected behavior. I do want to assure you though that we are here to help in these situations. 

     

    We appreciate you being an active member in the Apple Support Communities and cannot wait to hear more from you! 

     

    Cheers!

    When I push the home button to access Siri, the phone doesn't even vibrate. Is that a setting that needs to be turned on? Where?

    that really stinks!  I used to activate Siri without having to look at my Iphone.  Now, because it no longer dings with the home key pressed, I have to look at the phone!  Very inconvenient!  I hope the ding gets restored in the next version.  Please tell your supervisors that we want this feature back!!!
