Siri outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 13 user reports came in for Siri. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 3 reports, about 19 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Siri not working
Siri is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Check Apple's Siri status
Apple's System Status page lists Siri; a service issue there explains a failure that affects more than one device. If the page shows no issue, move to your phone.
Toggle the wake word
Go to Settings > Siri & Search, turn Listen for 'Hey Siri' off and back on, then repeat for Press Side Button if the button does nothing. Try a simple request on your phone after each change.
Restart the iPhone, then retry Siri
From Settings > General > Shut Down, slide the power control and wait for the screen to go dark. Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears, then ask your original request.
Update iOS and retry Siri
Open Settings > General > Software Update and install any pending update. The phone restarts during the install, so test the same request after your phone boots.
While Siri is down: what to use instead
- Spotlight Type a question or conversion into Spotlight when a spoken request gets no response.
- Clock Open the app to set a timer or alarm directly if the voice command fails.
- Phone Call someone from Favorites in the Phone app when a voice call command will not go through.
- Voice Control This accessibility feature opens apps and taps controls with spoken commands when the assistant stays silent.
What happens when Siri goes down
Siri is Apple's voice assistant on iPhone and other Apple devices; people use it for hands-free calls, messages, reminders, and home controls. An outage interrupts voice commands and hands-free tasks, from sending a message to setting a reminder.
Voice requests tend to fail first: the wake word may not respond, or a request hangs after the listening tone and ends with a connection message. Dictation can stop returning text, and commands that send messages or set reminders may fail while typed actions that do not use the service keep working. That split is common because problems often hit one device or network path while the rest of the service works. Regional trouble can affect some areas and leave others alone, so a failed request in one place says little about the next.

How we track Siri
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Siri, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Siri, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Siri's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
