So Siri in not listening, eh? That would be frustrating as Siri is so handy and helpful.
I gather the microphone is working for other things, so please check out the "Get help with Siri" section of this article: Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Get help with Siri
- If "Hey Siri" isn't working, make sure that "Hey Siri" is turned on under Settings > General > Siri.
- Siri might say, "Sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the network," or "Try again in a little while." This is probably a network issue. Check your Internet connection and try again later.
- If Siri isn't available or responding to questions, see the next section.
If Siri isn't available, or doesn't understand or respond to questions
After each step, see if you still need help:
- Make sure that your iOS device has an Internet connection through Wi-Fi or cellular data.
- On your iOS device, make sure that Siri is turned on under Settings > General > Siri.
- Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Siri and turn off Siri. Then turn it on again.
- Make sure that the microphones on your device aren't blocked. For example, if your device has a protective case, remove it.
- If you're using an iOS device, try to use Siri with a headset. If Siri works, get more help with the microphones on your device.
- Contact Apple Support.
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.
Siri will also chime when you use "Hey Siri" on a device with iOS 9.
Note with an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus the iPhone must be connected to power for "Hey Siri" to work.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
