I just up/downloaded and installed iOS 9.1 on my iPhone 6, and Siri does not great me and ask me what to do when I press the home button. I used it to makes telephone calles and text messages and emails in 8.3 and new it was there when She said how can I help you.
I have all my volumes up. I feel the vibration that Siri is active but I would really like to hear the voice.
any help here is appreciated.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.1
If you want to hear the "Siri beep", go to Settings>General>Accessibility, and turn Vibration to OFF.

I'm not sure that will work Gail. I just tried it, and I do not get anything. Actually, I don't even feel a vibration when I activate Siri as it is. It just comes up on the screen.
That's weird. It works for me. Accessibility>Vibration = ON, no Siri beep. Accessibility>Vibration = OFF, I get a beep. Maybe the difference in our devices? I am using an iPhone 5s, and I think you are on a 6?

Just looked at the Siri settings, and under the "Voice Feedback" section (which has nothing to do with this, I know, but has some interesting related info), if you check the "Control with Ring Switch" option, there is a little definition below that says:
Siri will silence all audio feedback when you set the ring switch to silent. You will continue to hear Siri beep and provide voice feedback when using "Hey Siri", or when connected to a Bluetooth device....
Do you think that means that the only time that Siri is now intended to beep is when you say "Hey Siri" or are connected to Siri via Bluetooth?
It seems to be an intentional change to Siri in iOS 9, but I certainly am not a fan of the visual response from Siri only....
Yes, it works for me so far, now I get a 'beep' and no vibe, and that's ok for me.
Can't keep up with Apple with out this community, thanks to you ALL!!!!

On a 6s now, with iOS 9.1. I'm puzzled, because I thought that when I was using my 5s I got a vibration, but I get nothing now, just a visual indication. I get a Haptic indication when Siri recognizes my request and then responds, but not when I first hold down the button to activate it.
Well that is great! 🙂 I was in a discussion with a visually disabled person, and they provided that interesting little tidbit to the discussion. Who knew?
Fingers crossed it will continue to operate that way! Post back if you see any quirks, if you will.

Will keep ya'll posted. Siri is very helpful and handy and I always cringe at learning curves, that being said, I should have stay'd with a pencil and paper. Best to the community.

Greetings everybody I am posting back. It seems that when you turn vibrations off so that you can hear Siri say hello or beep it turns all vibrations off. Am I correct about this.? In other words when the phone rings it does not vibrate now with vibrate off.! It's all kind of very confusing but what's new
I suppose as it turns out I'll just have to rethink a new operating procedure for what I normally did before..
Yes, that is correct. If you look in Settings under the area where you turned off that vibration, you will see a statement indicating that it turns off ALL vibrations.
Seems I will live with vibrations and no Siri greeting, but then again, I have missed calls in meetings because I could't FEEL the vibrations to the intensity (I think) of the older (8.3 iOS) that I just upgraded from.
So do I want big voice and no vibe, or no voice and almost un-discernible vibes.
'You can't always get what you want, but if you CRY sometimes.............Thats what Mick really meant.
thanks gang,

You might want to look into changing the vibration for your ringtone. You can change to another one of the set ones, or you have the ability to create a custom pattern which might suit you better. For the older phone, longer vibration patterns are usually needed because of the fact it is a motor that takes a moment to spin up completely. That was one of the facts discussed in the iPhone 6s intro event, and that is one of the reasons they changed to the haptic engine for the 6s and 6s Plus.
Custom pattern, wow, good idea!
Thanks, I'll look into that.
But somebody said if it ain't broke don't fix it, there's that to consider to when it come to ME doing custom things,
thanks ChrisJ4203,

Ha! 😁 Well, handle it as you will. Good luck with your device.
My Siri on iphone 5 doesn't have the voice of What can I help you with greeting. It beeps and speaks the reply. This seems minor but it used to work. How can I get it to work again.
why doesn't Siri greet me when I press the home button in iOS 9.1
