Sandy, this is ChatGPT's response to how to keep Siri responses on the screen longer:
On an iPhone, Siri’s responses usually disappear after a short while to keep the screen clear, and unfortunately, there isn’t a built-in setting to make them stay up longer. But there are a few workarounds depending on what you want: 1. Type to Siri Go to Settings > Accessibility > Siri and turn on Type to Siri. This makes Siri show responses as text on the screen that stay visible until you dismiss them. 2. Ask Siri to “Show me” instead of “Tell me” For some queries (like sports scores, weather, reminders, calendar events, etc.), Siri will bring up a card that stays on the screen instead of just a temporary bubble. 3. Use Siri Results in Spotlight If you swipe down on the Home Screen and type your query in Spotlight, you’ll often get the same answers Siri would give, but the results stay until you swipe away. 4. Accessibility Shortcut (Voice Control or Speak Screen) With Voice Control or Speak Screen, you can have Siri’s spoken responses read aloud while also keeping the on-screen text longer (especially with Type to Siri). 5. Third-Party Workaround If you need persistent Siri logs, apps like Shortcuts can capture Siri results into Notes or Reminders so you can keep them around. 👉 There isn’t a toggle like “Keep Siri on screen longer”, but the Type to Siri option is usually the best solution if you want to see responses in writing until you dismiss them. Do you mostly want Siri’s spoken answers to stay visible, or just the text results?
