GavCars,


Thanks for the reply. The next step would be to contact Apple Support directly. They can be reached here: Get Support, or by calling the most applicable phone number listed here: Contact Apple for support and service.

Hi GavCars,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that the "Hey Siri" feature isn't working, so we'd like to help out. It appears that you've had a chance to review If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone or iPad, which is great. If you haven't done so already, it would also be a good idea to Restart your iPhone. This may seem like a simple step, but it can resolve some issues. If restarting doesn't help, make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


If you need more help, reply to this message with the answers to these questions:


  • When you went through setting up "Hey Siri" again, did it seem to detect your voice?
  • Has this feature ever worked on your iPhone? If so, do you recall any changes that were made before it stopped working?


Take care.

Hi,

We have gone through setting up "Hey Siri" several times. It does detect voice during setup. I've reset, and even performed a factory reset and reinstalled it from iCloud. Nothing has worked for "Hey Siri" to work. It works when press and hold the side button.

The iPhone is only two weeks old and this feature worked until two days ago. It is on the latest upgrade. I can't think of any changes that may have caused this.

Regards,

Gavin Carson

I have same issue in iPhone 12 14.6

as suggested I even connected with service Center. They couldn’t find out the exact reason. All hardware is fine. It was working all fine previous to the update. I even checked new iPhone 12. It’s the same issue

I had a good online session with some Apple senior analysts today. After many checks, my issue was resolved by Settings/Accessibility/Sound Recognition turned to "off". Somehow it was turned on, but still a mystery as to when.

How it works for you.
