I was having the same problem. Live-Listen won't turn on.


I had noticed that the Podcast player was buggy on my iPhoneX. Sometimes it takes over my lock screen even when the app is not running. Sure enough, Podcast player was running in the background. I killed all apps. Still no live-listen.


Power Cycle (for X: mash vol-down and right-button, then swipe to power down). Power back up.


When the phone booted back up, my Live-Listen On/Off was working as advertised.
