The same goes for Siri. If it doesn't work out right, most people might not be able to complete their tasks on time in this work from home age.

If this isn't you, I know that I definitely can’t work when Siri is not talking back on my iPhone 13. That is because it saves me a lot of time by working on my voice command.

So what happened was, when I was working last week, I asked Siri to turn off my phone’s dark mode. And she didn’t respond!

I asked again but nothing. I couldn’t even see her written response until after I juggled with Siri settings. But, it still didn’t speak up.

It got me worried because Siri not talking back on iPhone 13 is not a good thing for me as an online creator. I perform all my work on my mobile - so that was a real issue for me.

Anyhow, I gathered myself up and did some research on Google. And discovered that something was off with my settings - which I then set up right and Siri began working like before.

So, if you are also going through a similar situation, my research might help you out.
