Hey Siri not responding or not activating on iPhone
Siri is either turned off in settings or your phone isn't recognizing 'Hey Siri'. Turn it back on and re-train your voice. This fixes it for users in under 2 minutes.
When 'Hey Siri' stops responding, it's a settings problem. Either Siri is disabled, the 'Listen for Hey Siri' setting got turned off, or your phone needs to re-learn your voice pattern. We'll turn it back on and make sure Siri is listening.

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Speaking too quietly or in a noisy room. Siri needs to clearly hear your voice
- Saying 'Hey Siri' with a very different accent or tone than when it was trained
Signs you need professional help
- If Siri still won't activate after re-training your voice and checking all the settings, give us a call. Your phone's microphone can need checking.
