Siri not responding after iOS 9.2 update, any suggestions?

I Have this exact same problem. It's horrible. I tried restoring and it still doesn't work.

IM also experiencing the exact same problem, he'll answer questions about my football team or search the Internet, but he won't set alarms/timers or make calls. Just get an "uh oh" Apple have send its a software issue but they can't fix it for me?? Only done this since 9.2

Same issue here on an iPhone 6.

Disabling/Enabling with/without rebooting the phone did not help.

Interestingly the iPhone 5 of my wife on 9.2 does not appear to be affected.

Restore the phone from backup. If that does not work try restoring the phone as new.

So after some research on the web I found a solution that worked for me without doing a full restore: I did a hard reset by holding the power and home button until the phone switched off. After it rebooted Siri was back to normal.

This works for me as well, but only for one request. The next request it's back to the "uh oh, we have a problem" or "it doesn't seem like you have an app called Audible"...

I have an iPhone 6S 128GB on iOS 9.2.

I had the same issue, I did a hard reset (holding power and home button) and it worked one time... This is driving me crazy. Paid a lot for this 64 gig iPhone... Don't know why we are having these problems.

I have not tried this yet because I was hoping 9.2.1 public beta 1 would fix it for me, but someone suggested the following fix:

• Downgrade to 9.1
• Turn off siri/dictation
• Install 9.2
• Turn Siri back on

I stand corrected. As others have experienced, power cycling the phone just fixes it for a short limited time right after the reboot.

So, I followed FelipeV's advice and bit the bullet. Since restoring it appears work normally. Btw. 9.2.1 PB here (burt the issue first occurred on the 9.2 final).

Be aware that since the introduction of app slicing your apps won't be backed up to iTunes, but re-download after restore.

I've restored it twice now, and the problem persists after a while.... Have not updated to 9.2.1.

Try the technique I used above. It appears to be working so far... I modified it slightly:

• Back up!
• Downgrade to 9.1
  • Find the official OS 9.1 IPSW download links)
  • I don't restore here, just set up the phone as a new phone.
• Turn off siri/dictation

  Or, rather never activate it when you're setting up the phone)

• Install 9.2

  I upgraded as a software update via the phone

• Turn Siri on.
• Restore from backup.

Having the same problem. To state my issue clearly: Siri is completely non-functional on my iPhone 5s after 9.2 update. Face time videos and voice notes I recorded after the update have good clear audio so the microphone is working. This proves hardware is okay. Issue has to be software. I have tried all measures noted above except restore as new phone and downgrade to 9.1. I'd try restore as new but have no reason to believe that will work. I think the issue is the update. It clearly broke something. How do I downgrade to 9.1?

Your issue appears to be different than what is experienced in this thread. For example, before my issue was corrected, I was able to get Siri to accept my commands and would be fine with Internet searches. As soon as the function required interface with another app is where we ran into trouble. For example, I could have Siri understand that I wanted to play "Pink Floyd", but it would try but not succeed engaging Apple Music for that purpose.

To to downgrade you need a computer with iTunes and your phone connected to it. You need to find a reputable site that link to Apple servers that maintain the ipsw files for iOS 9.1 for your specific phone. You then need to download that file to your computer. Connect your phone to your computer and back up your phone. Once you have done that click [option] Restore in iTunes on your phone tab. That opens the finder and locate the downloaded ipsw file. On a pc, I think it's [shift] Restore. I would then set up the phone as a new phone while in 9.1 but don't activate Siri. Once that is set up, got to settings and update the software to 9.2. Once that is done then you can connect to iTunes where it will give you an option to restore your back up. Good luck.
