    1. It hasn’t helped me either it I’m sure it was of some use to someone. Don’t be so critical at least it gave you something to try.

  1. Why is Siri not working for me on my iphone 5?? I have done everything Google suggests, I get to the ‘Set up Hey Siri”, I say it and all I get is “siri didn’t quite get that, try again”.
    I must sound like a total arse in my office repeatedly saying this!
    It’s not my microphone or anything else? C’mon Apple!!

  2. I have a problem on my iPhone 5 Siri is totally not working I have restart the phone rest the network reset settings like 20 times still Siri is not working

    1. Hi Roshan, did you get any fix yet? I’ve done what you’ve done but nothing. If you ended up with an easy solution could you email me at [email protected] with it please. It was working fine for ages, all of a sudden stopped. Cheers

  3. It seems when dictation and Siri link together. I try all trick too, still not working on those 2 functions. I am real frustrated!

  4. I can only use Siri when headphones are in and it will not work in settings cause I have to day hey Siri over and over what do I do I just got this phone ????

  5. Solved:

    I changed my Siri voice to English (American) Male and after about a half hour it started working and I could set up Hey Siri

  6. My Siri hasn’t worked in months, and I have done all of the above. Nothing has worked. Absolutely nothing. I have even reset my phone back to factory settings and did a restore from iCloud. I live nowhere near an Apple store, and it surely seems like Apple is not very customer friendly. There is no way to contact them for a problem like this – only these little “forums” that are littered around the internet. I have had iPhones forever and am totally addicted to them BUT, I am seriously considering detoxing myself by purchasing a Samsung. 🙁

  7. My Dad’s iPhone 5 will not take dicatation for messaging and Siri is now deaf and unresponsive. It all worked fine up until the evening he updated to ios 10.2). He IS able to get voice memos to record his voice. We have tried changing the voice on Siri, turning Siri on and off, Turning “hey Siri: on and off, forced restart, and hard restart to no avail. Help! My Dad has a severe tremor and cannot use his phone if he can’t dictate. He lives in Western Maine and has NO nearby apple store. Please help!

  8. I have had and again currently having the same problem where Siri will not respond via the phone. Through Bluetooth and even my Apple Watch it works.

    Had this same problem a couple of times before in the past year. Both times I went to an Apple Store. They replaced the phone after testing the “audio receiver”. They’ve been good about replacing it, but it seems there’s a recurring problem with the phone.

  9. My siri keeps acting up says it isn’t connect to wifi but all my other devices are so thats not the issue ,I have tried everything to shut down and when I bring it back on it wants my password but siri is talking fast and puts white circles around my numbers and it is causing it to not work properly. ..help

  10. I have a new iMac and have just upgraded to Sierra. Siri is installed and enabled. In ‘Sound’ I am using the built in microphone and that registers my voice but I get no response from Siri except text saying ‘This what you can ask etc
    Can you help?

  11. Why doesn’t Apple even acknowledge this problem? So are out of luck until when? Tried to google the problem, most of the responses are from years ago, none from apple I might add. Very frustrating.

  12. After updating to 10.0 update my Siri will no longer talk. I took it into an ATT store and they could not figure it out?????? I have tried everything! Getting frustrated.

  13. I have been having trouble with Siri not working for a few months. When I press the Home button Siri comes on the screen, but it won’t respond to anything I say. It works through my Bluetooth speaker in my car, but not with the phone by itself. I thought it was the internal microphone, because I had a caller on speaker phone once and she couldn’t hear me. But now the speaker phone function is working, but Siri still isn’t. I have the latest iOS (10.0.2), and have tried everything short of erasing everything and starting anew, and I really don’t want to do that because all the posts I have read say that doesn’t work. Is there a fix for this problem, or what? My phone is out of warranty, and I can’t afford to pay an Apple tech to fix it or send it in to them, and I don’t have the money to buy a new phone.

  14. Like Laura said, I have tried every trick in the book to get Siri to work. Worked fine before 10.0 update. I too have been an android user for years, big mistake switching to Apple. I do have the Okay Google app on this IPhone. At least that works.

  15. I have tried every trick in the book that apple and Google have suggested on doing to get Siri to work. Nothing has worked. I just switched from an android to apple and this is making me regret my decision to do so. Apple, please fix this.

  16. My problem is Siri does not recognize my voice when my Motorola H19TXT Bluetooth headset is selected. The Motorola headset works just find when speaking on the phone, recording Voice Memos, or videos. When I use Siri and I have the Bluetooth device selected it just stopped working a few days ago. I have used my Motorola Bluetooth headset for years to make calls. I press the call button, and when I hear the beep I ask Siri “Call my Wife”, or “Call my Son”. This has always worked in the past. For some reason this has stopped working.

    I am unaware of any changes to the phone since I upgraded to the latest IOS a few weeks ago. However, it had been working just fine since then. It’s just another in a long line of Apple inexplicable and infuriating failures since I have owned my iPhone 4. For such expensive devices you would expect at least the most simple features to work flawlessly. I remember the Phone 4 having trouble syncing simple contact updates and even having trouble making calls, often requiring a reboot to make a call. Sometimes it would still show “Call failed” even though I had great signal strength.

    My headset works fine for every other function. I wish Apple would actually take time to respond to these issues. The only thing I did that may have “offended” Siri thus making her refuse to use my headset is that I called her a stupid c_nt for various stupidity on her part. I do hope that Apple has not stooped so low as to allow their processor challenged AI to be offended.

    Can anyone offer any reason why an obviously functioning Motorola Bluetooth H19TXT headset would suddenly fail to work. I have powered down and rebooted the phone numerous times. I have also disabled and enabled Siri numerous time; all to no avail.

    I will send a treat to the person that sends me a solution which requires no cost.

    I could understand issues in the earlier smart phones like my iPhone 4, but think my 128GB iPhone 6S Plus at a cost of $1000 should be rock solid reliable for all the most basic functions.

  17. Also I would like to add that I tried turning Siri off completely through the Settings. But then the Voice Control started taking over and was even more of a problem than Siri is. . . It randomly started calling people and I could not hang up or end the call. Whenever I tried it ended up taking screen shot photos of the phone call. I would actually prefer to turn off both features completely but all the internet research I have founds suggests that this is not possible.

    1. You can turn both off. By simply going to settings – General – accessibility – home button. – press and hold to speak -make sure it’s turned off for both from there .
      Hope this helped you …

  18. I just started using an IPhone 5. It has the latest software installed. Siri is acting very erratic. For example, while I am typing a text message, she will take over the screen so that I can no longer access my text, and she will say: “What can I help you with?” (Note: she is not reading my text message aloud). When I try to say “Goodbye” or press the home button to escape out of Siri, nothing happens or she will reply with something like “Sorry I didn’t understand what you just said.” This also happens when I am reading and scrolling thru and internet page, or when I am trying to use the camera or look through the photos. It is completely debilitating. I have not yet tried to make a phone call because I figure she will also take over the phone call. I live in rural West Virginia, and there are no Apple tech stores anywhere nearby. Any ideas?

    1. Go to settings-General-Then Siri. Look if Hey Siri is activated. If it is then if you want to, disable it or keep it. If it’s not Hey Siri then I’m rly sry and I don’t know what to do to help. You could contact a Apple Worker, though. Btw I have an iPhone 5, too! (But it’s a 5s). I hope this helped you a lot! Also you could turn off Siri restart your iPhone and then turn Siri back on! ????
