A
restart or soft reset frequently resolves minor issues that are causing conflicts in a program. To ensure that this isn't the case in your case, try quitting Siri and restarting your iPhone 8. If Siri doesn't work and the screen freezes, it's possible that the
program has crashed and needs to be restarted. A
forced restart would be required in this instance.
- Press and swiftly release the Volume Up button to force your iPhone 8 to restart. Then, quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Finally,
press and hold the Side or Power button until the Apple logo appears.
Wait until your smartphone has completely booted up before attempting to utilize Hey Siri again.
