Pro Tip
You'll only see the Siri history log for today and the most recent conversation you've had. Also, swiping can be tricky, so sometimes you might run into the issue that the last conversation shown is, "Hey, Siri," if you fail and have to start again.
Now you know how to see your Siri search history, as long as your iPhone isn't running iOS 15 or newer software. If you are running the latest software, you won't be able to view Siri history. We assume that Apple changed this to protect user privacy.
FAQ
- Is Siri history saved? No, there is no Siri history log currently available on all recent operating systems.
- Why did Apple make it so you cannot view Siri history? Apple never made an official announcement on this, but it is likely for privacy and security reasons.
- Can you view Siri history on iOS 17? No, you can no longer view Siri history on iPhone unless you are still running iOS 14 or earlier, which is not recommended. Earlier versions of iOS contain security vulnerabilities that make your device susceptible to hacking attempts or other cyber attacks.
- Are Siri Suggestions your recents? Not necessarily. While Siri Suggestions can include your recently used apps, Siri Suggestions also learn from how you use certain apps and can make suggestions based on the time of day or your current location.
