If Siri activates but doesn’t respond to commands on your iPhone, it may be due to issues with your internet connection, settings, or software.

   Solution 1: Check Siri’s Language and Voice Settings

Siri requires an active internet connection for most tasks.
Ensure you’re connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data and that the connection is stable.

Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, and ensure that Enable Dictation is turned on.
Ensure Siri’s language matches the one you speak:
Settings > Siri & Search > Language.

solution 4: Contact Apple Support

If none of the above works, there could be a deeper software or hardware issue. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for assistance.
