Pro Tip:
You’ll only see the conversation record 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 history log, 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 look up your recent Siri searches. We assume that Apple changed this to protect user privacy.
