Over the last week I cant get Siri to recognize anything I say on my iPhone 6s. It is running the latest software update.
Anybody else experiencing this issue?

I am not having any problems with Siri on my iPhone SE. You can try restarting Siri by going to settings, then double tap on Siri, then turn off Siri by double tapping the switch. Hope this helps.

Hi. Siri has been working for me too. Here are a few things you can try.

1. Restart the phone

2. Go to your settings app and select wi-fi and whatever your networks name is and double tap. Sometimes the connection can get dropped or the signal is weak. And since Siri works on the internet, that could cause problems. I've had it happen a few times!

3. This one may seem crazy, but did you drop your phone or get water in the microphone? Maybe Siri's not responding due to damage to your microphone. I've heard of it happening before.

4. Maybe your cell signal is weak. I'd make sure you've got bars if you're on LTE. hope it helps.

Have tried all things suggested.
It may be a microphone issue. Siri works when a pair of headphones are connected.

Will try some air to see if that helps

Hello,

Do phone calls work normally? Meaning can the other party hear you? Does dictation work? If the answer is yes to both, your microphone is okay. If the answer is no or sometimes, try removing your phone from the case if it’s in one and try again. Also have someone sighted check the microphone port to make sure it’s not blocked or dirty.

HTH and good luck.
