Siri is not working - you can do that

In this practical tip, we explain what you can do if Siri doesn't work. The Apple Assistant Siri can simply remain silent in certain cases. This is mostly due to small internal bugs, which are mainly caused by new operating system versions, currently also under iOS 9.

Siri only works with an internet connection

• Make sure that you are either logged in to a WLAN or have activated your mobile internet.
• If you have internet problems on your iPhone, read this practical tip to find out how to fix them.
• Incidentally, Siri also often wants to access the Apple server. If these are overloaded, Siri interference can also occur. In such a case, you can only wait.

Siri is not working - is the software activated?

Especially after updates, it can happen that the settings have changed and Siri is deactivated.

1. Go to "Settings" and then to "General".
2. There, tap on "Siri".
3. Check whether Siri is activated here (see picture).
4. At this point you can also allow the command "Hey Siri".
5. Make sure that you have configured the "Always" setting under "Voice feedback".

Siri doesn't say anything

If you simply can no longer hear Siri, the sound may also be switched off.

1. Make sure the sound switch is on.
2. In the "Settings" tap on "Tones".
3. Make sure that the slider under "Ringtones and advisory tones" is moved to the right.

Of course, it is theoretically possible that a defective microphone prohibits you from Siri contact. But you can easily check this by simply calling someone and testing your microphone. We present you the five funniest Siri commands.
