One of the novelties of the year 2011 was the intelligent assistant sponsored by the Apple brand, Siri, which was integrated into the iPhone 4s devices.
This voice tool can help us in various tasks since with it, we can not only know essential weather data, or even inform ourselves about the results of a soccer game, but we can also schedule tasks and make calls, use it as a personal translator, and we can even transform the whole Siri voice with the use of some voice commands
However, you can also write some text commands in Siri so that this smart assistant can do what you want. But within its operation, it is possible that some failures arise, which can make Siri not work correctly within your iPhone. In this post, we will help you solve these errors so that you can use it comfortably.
Your device may not support this tool
“Hey, Siri” is a function that is adapted only for a few devices of the brand, this is because they have tools and essential elements for their correct operation. The devices that have the capacity to support “Hey Siri” are:
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 6s Plus
- 9.7-inch iPad Pro
In the same way, you can access the official Siri page to know in detail with which devices this smart assistant is compatible.
Start by checking that the application is activated
Logically, although not so much for some, for this voice tool to work correctly, it must be active previously. If you are not sure if the application is active on your device, we recommend that you follow the following steps and check it yourself:
- Start by heading to the settings section
- Then in it, enter the ” General ” tab and there you can find the ” Siri ” option to which you must enter
- Once there, you can check if it is active or not, if it is deactivated, you just have to press the activate button and everything will be ready for you to start using it again
Try disabling low power mode
Although the “Hey Siri” option does not usually consume much energy, the function itself usually consumes enough even if we do not have it activated. For this reason, if we have the low consumption option activated, it is possible that this tool does not work in the correct way that it should work.
All this, because the application understands that we need to save energy and for this reason, it itself deactivates itself until said low-consumption option is deactivated again.
We force a reboot of the device
If all the previous steps that we have highlighted have been in perfect condition and therefore we have not had to do anything about it, the next step we must take is to be able to restart the iPhone or our iPad, as the case may be.
To be able to force, said restart we must press the rest buttons together, in addition to the start buttons until we see the apple again. You must bear in mind that during this entire process we cannot release the buttons until the apple does not appear on our screens or otherwise, we will only make the device turn off.
Perform a “Hey Siri” reconfiguration
As a last resort, if we want to get Siri to respond to this famous command, we must do a previous configuration as mentioned before, which is necessary if we want it to recognize our voice.
In order to do this, the process is quite precise, since you must start by deactivating the function of this application from the settings and after that, reactivate it by pressing the switch that will appear within the configuration wizard.
It is important that we follow not only the steps that the application and the tutorial indicate, but also that we must not skip any of the process explained there. And voila, with this you can solve this problem that is usually presented in a common way with this mobile application.
