Apple - My iPhone settings are not showing Siri

This works for iOS 11 and earlier (Restrictions were changed in iOS 12):

The easiest way to get Siri back (without doing a Soft Reset or Reset All Settings), do this:

  1. Go to Settings→General→Restrictions
  2. Enable Restrictions; give it a password.
  3. Disallow Siri & Dictation.
  4. Return back to General settings.
  5. Go back to Restrictions, putting in the password.
  6. Allow Siri & Dictation. Go back to Settings and Siri & Search should now be available.
  7. Disable Restrictions.

This worked on an iPhone 6s Plus on iOS 11.2.5.


This issue persists after updating to ios 11 also, so I just did a reset all settings and Hey Siri option came back.

PS: the reason I did reset all settings as because springboard kept on crashing almost everyday which became annoying.
