Siri doesn't work after screen replacement?

Siri doesn't work after screen replacement? So after replacing the cracked screen on my iPhone 6, Siri will no longer hear me. She beeps indicating that it is okay to speak then when you talk, it doesn't pick up any audio. Both my speaker phone and normal mic for phone calls is working properly. Any ideas?

Just ran into the same issue so pulled the front mic front camera assembly back off and found that the replacement screen front mic adhesive had not been positioned right from the manufacturer. There is a hole in the adhesive that is supposed to be below and slightly to the right of the post so that it lines up with the hole in the mic when assembled. The hole was directly below the post so it blocked the mic hole. I peeled the adhesive off slightly to create a hole to the right, re-assembled the phone, and it worked great.

"Siri uses the front microphone.

You have more than likely damaged the front microphone that is attached to the front camera, replacing the front camera flex should solve this issue.

Also check to see if your front camera flex is installed properly.

*Update*

As Kerry has mentioned, some of the adhesive on the ear speaker mesh can be misaligned, this tends to be with the cheaper screens, the microphone hole on the adhesive is in the middle, but this is incorrect, if you look at the mic on the front camera flex, it needs to be slightly to the right, the easiest solution to this is to make the hole slightly bigger using something sharp like tweezers to tear it a little, this can help solve your issue if the microphone itself is fine."

From what I have found, if you scream at Siri into the front camera and it works then Kerry's answer works. I have had this happen a few times. If you get nothing then Ged's answer is the better choice.

I had the same problem where Siri won’t work after replacing screen.. I installed google assistant which asked to turn on microphone.. so I did.. when I tried using Siri.. it worked.. apps try that,

"I had the same problem and took mine to the Genius Bar. The tech took one look at it and said, ""I know why you're here. Siri won't work, right?"" I said, ""Yes, how did you know?"" He said, ""Because the microphone for Siri is embedded into the glass display. This isn't an Apple glass screen; it's third party. You can either put a real Apple glass display on it or replace the entire iPhone.""

So the takeaway here is don't let anybody replace your screen with anything but Apple glass displays."
