One of the novelties of the year 2011 was the Apple-sponsored smart assistant, Siri, which has been integrated into the devices Iphone 4s.
This voice tool can help us in various activities, since with it we can not only know essential weather data or even inform us about the results of a football match, but we can also plan activities and make calls, use it as a personal translator, and we can even transform Siri's entire voice with the use of some voice commands
However, you can also type some text commands in Siri so that this smart assistant can do what you want. But within its operation, it is possible that some failures will occur, which can cause Siri not to work properly within your iPhone. In this post we will help you to fix these errors so that you can use it comfortably.
Your device may not support this tool
"Hey, Siri" it is a function that only suits some devices of the brand, this is because they have tools and elements essential for their correct functioning. The devices that have the ability to support "Hey Siri" are:
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 6s
- 6s iPhone Plus
- iPad Pro from 9,7 inches
Similarly, you can access the official Siri page to find out in detail which devices this smart assistant is compatible with.
Start by checking that the application is activated
Logically, although not so much for some, make sure this tool voice functions correctly, it must be activated previously. If you are not sure if the application is active on yours device, we recommend that you follow the steps below and check it out for yourself:
- Start by going to the settings section
- Then in it, enter the card " General "And there you can find the option" Crab Which you need to access
- Once there, you can check if it is active or not, if it is deactivated, you just have to press the toggle button and everything will be ready to start using it again
Try disabling the power saving mode
Although the "Hey Siri" option doesn't usually consume much energia, the function itself usually consumes enough even if we have not activated it. For this reason, if we have activated the low power option, it is possible that this tool is not working the way it should work.
All this, because the application understands that we must save energy and for this reason it deactivates itself, until the said low-power option is deactivated again.
We force a restart of the device
If all the previous steps we highlighted were in perfect condition and therefore we didn't have to do anything about it, the next step we need to take is to be able to restart the iPhone or ours iPad, as appropriate.
In order to force this restart we have to press the rest buttons together, as well as the start buttons, until we see the apple again. You have to keep in mind that during the whole process we cannot release the buttons, until the apple appears on our screens or otherwise, we'll just turn off the device.
Perform a "Hey Siri" reconfiguration
As a last resort if we want that Crab respond to this famous command, we must perform a previous configuration as mentioned before, necessary if we want it to recognize our voice.
To do this, the process is quite precise, since you have to start by deactivating the function of this application from the settings and then reactivating it by pressing the switch that will appear inside the wizard of configuration.
It is important to not only follow the steps indicated by the application and the tutorial, but also not to skip any of the processes explained there. And voila, with this you can solve this problem which is usually presented in a common way with this application phones.
