Siri Fails on Iphone 6S

siri now works for me sporadically. the first time i say 'hey siri' or press the home button it generally works...if i try something immediately afterwards, including holding down the home button, it does the thing where i get the ding and the microphone immediately turns itself off(?) and she can't hear me.
wonder what the common thread is for people who are having the problem.
Not sure but I missed it when it did not work.
When I was having a problem Siri could hear me just fine but then presented me with a "list of this Siri can do" and then would say that she does not understand my question.
All is good now, hope it get fixed for the rest of you!
Love your Avatar!
Must be nice. Another one of my friends had the issue last week but now it's better. Mine is still non-functional.
Try Reset All Settings. It does NOT reset the home screen layout, that's a seperate option.
Well after doing nothing mine seems to be back to normal. Ironically it seemed to be after I installed the new Google Assistant 
BINGO!!!! Jaggrey, you just identified the culprit! I just uninstalled GBoard and voila, problem gone, Siri working again. This must have initiated when I updated GBoard a week ago, it was odd as the first two times trying to update it dl'd but didn't install, a day or so later I tried again and it installed, roughly the time Siri jumped ship. I have reinstalled GBoard and Siri is still working 100%.Well after doing nothing mine seems to be back to normal. Ironically it seemed to be after I installed the new Google Assistant
mine is up and running again as well, today, and I have never used gboard either.
I have Gboard installed but I don't remember if it's been updated recently. I know when I was having Siri issues Gboard was great with dictation!
