Hey Siri closes quickly

My wife has a brand new iPhone 12. When we press the side button, we can use SIRI fine. But when she says "Hey SIRI", SIRI opens for maybe half a second, not long enough to give a command. When I say "Hey SIRI", it doesn't open at all.


What should we look at?

Hello howardfromlafayette,


It looks like you're having some issues with "Hey Siri" on your wife's iPhone 12. Being able to summon Siri is a great feature on the iPhone that makes it easy to access the feature hands-free. We're glad you reached out for help.
