Hi,

If your Siri is on holiday, I've found this on the internet re Siri on iOS 17. You might want to have a look.

Original Article [1]

LISTEN FOR SIRI NOT AVAILABLE IN IOS 17?

This issue has been reported by Ace [2]:

"Not able to use "Siri" instead of "Hey Siri" as advertised in the keynote! Is there a hidden setting that i need to trigger?"

We managed to replicate this behavior and have found similar complaints [3] on Reddit:

"My settings is missing the option for me to just activate Siri by saying 'Siri'. Anyone has the same issue? Is it a bug or something?"

Important: This shortcoming isn't a bug, but an iOS 17 limitation. This new feature is currently only available for iPhones configured to use the English language.

More exactly: English (_Australia, Canada, UK, U.S._) on iPhone and on AirPods Pro 2 as stated [4] by Apple.

HOW TO ENABLE LISTEN FOR SIRI IN IOS 17?

If you own an iPhone that's set to one of the English languages mention above proceed as follows:

        * 1. Open Settings and scroll for Siri & Search.
        * 2. Tap on Listen for.
        * 3. Select "Siri" or "Hey Siri".

Tip: If only "Hey Siri" is available check the iPhone language in Settings -> General -> Language & Region.

All the best,

-Adrian
