Siri not responding

OK - I have a iPhone 7 not a 12. My Siri is not working/responding at all. I have updted it to iOS 16.0.2, done all of things recommeded and it isn't responding. I truly need my Siri to respond when I ask it to. It won't make calls, respond to texts, make calls when asked. It is truly a useless feature that I have used constatnly until the recent updates. The newest update 16.0.2 did not fix it. I need it fixed ASAP. I use it when I am not able to actually do anything with my hands while baking, gardening, cleaning, quilting, driving - you get the picture. I need this feature to work!

What can I do to fix this??

NasHudson this is what worked!! Thank you. I switched from English UK to English American then back again and today it worked!! So happy I could switch back to the UK though. I lived there for a few years and prefer to hear that accent.

Hi! I am having the same issue. I just spoke with a technician with Apple. Seems that this is a chronic issue right now and they are investigating. We should get an update to fix this issue.

I had already done everything but the latest update. Updated this morning and still no Siri responding as per pre updates. I’ll try contacting apple as per your recommendation.
