How to Make Siri Louder on your Apple Watch
The easiest way to do this is to use Siri. You can say ‘Speak Louder’ to Siri when it is responding on your Apple Watch. There are some times when the Apple Watch does not respond to Siri’s commands. Please check the following Settings on your Apple Watch to adjust the Siri output volume.
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and tap on Siri
- Next, tap on Siri Responses
- Here, you can adjust the Voice Volume speaker according to your preferences
Tap on the Volume bar and then use the Digital Crown to adjust the volume settings
Another trick to mitigate this challenge is to use the feature ‘Always Show Siri Captions’.
This feature is on the same screen and shows you what Siri says on screen.
While on this screen, make sure to check that Spoken Responses is set to ‘Always On’ on the top of the screen.
Many users choose to set this to ‘Headphones Only’ when using their Apple Watch with AirPods. It is important to remember that when you choose this setting, Siri will only provide a response when your Apple Watch is connected to your AirPods.
