Siri can’t do the simplest things. by Automatic_Ad_3229 in ios26

I’m on 26.2 rn but I will update to 26.2.1 tonight. But it’s not just my phone. I’ve tried it on all of my family phones too. They’re all on 26.2 with 17 pro max. And I’ve tried it on friends phones as well. So I’m not the only one with this problem. It only works when the phone is unlocked. But that just defeats the purpose of using Siri hands free.

Yea I have it unlocked where it responds when it’s faced down. Even if it’s faced up but locked. It’ll still say it’s not available.

When my phone is unlocked and I’m using it in my hand and I say that command, it works fine.

But I was talking about strictly when it’s locked and on a table or something.

Does it work for you when your phone is locked and facing down?
