Hi


The following steps may help (check after each):


If you have not yet done so, update your Apple Watch to the latest software:


Check the following settings:

  • Settings > General > Restrictions - check that the restriction for Siri & Dictation is not enabled.
  • Settings > General > Keyboard - check that Enable Dictation is turned on.
  • Settings > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.


Restart both your iPhone and your watch, turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:


Unpair and re-pair your watch:
