Call to someone using siri when locked

I could not call anyone using siri when my phone is locked. For example : I say ‘ Hey Siri , Call mom’ and it says you must unlock your phone. I have given allow siri when locked too but, its not working kindly give a solution. I have tried face id and passcode option and gave siri allow option. Kindly check please.

hi bro, is the voice dial feature toggle is ON under face id and passcode?

Yes bro

It should work then bro. better try performing all settings reset once then setup siri fresh. and make sure face id voice dial toggle is ON and now try to make a call summoning siri from lock screen. let me know if that helps.

Tried bro but it says you should unlock your phone first

can you check once by calling recently called person or favorites contacts list person and see if that works? only random not recently called person is not working or none of them is working?

also iPhone model and current iOS version?

None of them is working bro. Iphone 16 pro max. ios version -18.5

There is a permission issue bro. kindly wait let me check for other reasons and get back to you.

Okay bro

hi bro, under settings - siri and search and make sure “allow siri when locked” toggle is ON. kindly confirm.

Yes bro it is on.

This is so strange bro. checked with couple of friends device and they are mostly using siri for every day calls, reminders and alarm tasks. its working perfectly fine. is mom saved to your phone app favorites list too?

Bro i dont have favourites every contact i try call it says you need to unlock your phone first

Just to test, can you add moms number to favorite contacts and check by using siri ? whether call connects or still asking for same unlock iPhone message?
