is it possible for Siri's responses to fill up the whole screen on iPad Mini 6? (instead of just a tiny window which is unreadable from 2 feet away, like in the screenshot below)

Thanks! :)

Settings/Accessibility/Siri/Show Apps Behind Siri

That setting makes no difference to the size of the Siri response window. It only decides if the apps in the background appear.(or display a grey back ground, like the screenshot I posted above)

It is a bit of hack but I think that if you activate Type to Siri in Accessibility, you will have Siri full screen. I don't know another way to activate the full screen answers.

Just tried that setting in Accessibility...unfortunately, it made no difference to the Siri window size..

the Siri response window on the iPad is actually smaller than the Siri response on my spare iPhone SE(2016)... that's just kind of bizarre... :)

Ah ok. I wasn’t sure as I noticed in your screenshot it was already grey. I’m going to guess you cannot do what you wish though. Not a use case I need particularly, but I can see a very very valid reason why it should be possible!

Ah this sucks! I could not find any other setting related to Siri that could potentially help you.
