If you own an iPhone, Siri is your best friend. It can schedule emails, set reminders, send text messages, initiate phone calls, and even give suggestions based on your iPhone usage.
Depending on Siri is unavoidable if you use it for these tasks. But what happens if Siri suggestions stop popping up on your iPhone 18 Pro Max? No worries, because we have a few fixes you can try.
Check Siri Settings
One reason why Siri suggestions won’t pop up is if your Siri settings are configured incorrectly. So, the first step is to head to your Siri settings to check if it has been turned off. Even if it’s turned on, toggle it off and on to troubleshoot the issue.
To check Siri settings, head to Settings on your device, tap Siri, then tap Suggestions. Turn on Suggest Apps Before Searching, and if you see the option to Reset Hidden Suggestions right below, tap on it to restore suggestions you’ve previously hidden.
Check if Your iPhone Is Updated
Apple frequently releases new software updates, which usually contain bug fixes for issues you might face. So if you haven’t updated your iPhone 18 Pro Max, getting the latest iOS version can resolve your Siri issues.
Head to Settings > General > Software Update to see if a newer iOS version is available. If you have one, follow the prompts to update your iPhone.
Restart Your iPhone
If your Siri suggestions are still not popping up, you can restart your iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max to troubleshoot it. However, your iPhone doesn’t have a restart option, so you’ll have to power off your iPhone and turn it back on. Simultaneously press and hold the side button and either volume button until the sliders appear, then drag the Power Off slider. Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
Get the Best of Siri Suggestions
Siri suggestions make it easy to start a search the moment you swipe down on your Home Screen. In fact, you wouldn’t need to type anything in Spotlight search to launch your favorite app, as Siri would’ve already suggested it for you.
However, if none of these solutions worked in your favor, you can contact Apple Support or visit a nearby Apple Store for in-person assistance.
