Hey Siri iOS 8

[Glope]

Hello

Is the new hands free "Hey Siri" feature working for you all?

I have the new iPhone 6 with all options under "Siri" turned on. I know it needs to be connected, yet it still doesn't work. Oddly, it does work with my mothers iPhone 5s. I can't find any differences in our settings.

Any ideas?

Thank you

That feature might be turned off for you. Go to Settings -> General -> Allow "Hey Siri"

is there an option in your siri settings that specifically says "allow hey siri" ?

Yes and it's turned on with all other Siri settings

Go into your Passcode Settings and make sure Siri is accessible when locked.

Having the same problem.

Hey Siri works when Siri is already open. But "hey Siri" won't start Siri even with the phone unlocked.

Yes, the blatant ripoff off "Ok Google" is working for me.

Which came first? Siri or Google Now or whatever it is called?

 

[whirldy]

Is this on?

It is for me, and "Hey Siri" doesn't work for me either. I'm on iPhone 6, plugged in to power, all Siri settings turned on, including the one under passcode lock, and it won't work for me either. Probably a bug that should be corrected in the forthcoming update next month.

Working for me just fine on my iPhone 6 64GB, even tested a few different commands.

Have those of you with issues turned Hey Siri OFF, then ON again?

This fixed it for me, thank you!

Had the same issue as others noted when I first upgraded, but it seems to be fine after turning it off then on again.

Slightly off topic note - Has anyone noticed that "Hey, Siri" works when not plugged into a power source, but only after initially holding the home button, asking Siri a question, and leaving Siri up?

We had a long talk tonight
