Siri has become an essential part of the lives of many users, this is because Apple’s virtual assistant can perform many functions just by asking it, whether it’s sending WhatsApp messages, opening web pages, recording the screen of your iphone and more. However, if you are having trouble getting this tool to follow you, you should pay attention to why it happened in order to fix it as soon as possible.
As is known, Siri is programmed to answer your call only when it hears your voice, but if it doesn’t, there may be an error in the system or you have made some adjustments that altered its normal use. Therefore, in SPORTSWe explain what you should do in these cases and you can use the virtual assistant without problems.
What to do if Siri doesn’t respond when you call her
If you have called your virtual assistant from Apple and it does not answer, it may be due to different reasons, here we explain the main factors and how to solve it from your iPhone.
- Siri blocked: You may have deactivated your virtual assistant without remembering it, to enable it go to “Settings” > “Siri and Search” > activate “Hey, Siri” > enable “Siri while the device is locked”.
- Siri not responding: First, go to “Settings” > “Siri and Search” > “Siri Responses”, here you must select “Prefer spoken responses”, this in order for Siri to answer you even with the silent mode activated.
- Make Siri recognize your voice: If for some reason your virtual assistant does not recognize your voice, you must make some adjustments from “Settings”, followed by “Siri and Search” > deactivate and activate “Hear ‘Hey, Siri'” > in Settings tap on “Hey, Siri” > “Continue”, then you will have to say something and click on “Ok”.
- If the above doesn’t work, try restarting your iPhone to fix system errors, but if the problem persists, you’ll need to contact Apple support.
