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. --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50554/how-to-fix-hey-siri-that-is-not-working-on-iphone-8-after-ios-update Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
