Voice Assistant not working on Venu 3 (Samsung S23)

Hello,

I just got a new Venu 3 and immediately tried to use the Voice Assistant feature.

However, it just displays "Connecting to voice assistant" and doesn't work at all.

I use the Venu 3 with  a Samsung S23 that's running Android 16/One UI 8.

Is this a known issue with the Venu 3 or is this just a bug with my phone?

Someone in my family also has a Venu 3 and the exact same phone like I have, their Voice Assistant is also not working...

Thanks in advance
