siri

Hi. My set up is Apple TV 4K connected to Homepod Minis (watching on a Samsung TV). All apps are up to date. When I speak to Siri via the primary mini to control Apple TV, I have exchanges like: Hey, Siri, go to the home screen/Apple TV home screen: “Just swipe up from the home screen.”...

Siri has gotten really bad in recent months. Especially since iOS 17. Due to issues with iOS 17 which I wrote about in another post*, I actually went out and bought a new iPhone 14 with iOS 16 installed. This fixed all the other issues but man, Siri is just terrible. Recently, there has been a...

For the last two days, Siri on the HomePod mini in my kitchen has started randomly asking “Hi there, how can I help?” - even when nobody is speaking and there are no sounds that might be setting her off. I noticed this a couple of times yesterday - my office is next to the kitchen, and as I was...

It’s crazy I have to ask this, but that’s the sad sad state of Siri today. I have 8 Gig of downloaded Apple Music songs on my iPhone and want to play them in my car using Siri. I have toggled off “Mobile Data” for the Music app. Can someone come up with a Siri request that will actually...

I had a shortcut / automation set up where I would charge my iPhone, then Siri would say "Battery Charged" when it hit 100%. That worked great for well over a a year and 1/2. ( created using this YT video - ) After updating late week to iOS 17.3, it seemed to break it, smh. I see the shortcut...

Personally, I think they should focus on edge on-device AI, because cloud servers will just add to costs, and they'll probably have to charge us more because of that. I also believe they should make it voice-based, which means making voice recognition a lot better, because ChatGPT blows Apple...

Would you purchase an Apple Handheld A.I device like the Rabbit R1? A hypothetical Siri/A.I based device, running on condensed iPhone parts in a small form factor, with an OS controlled with a mix of touch and voice. Prototype: The Rabbit R1 for reference:

I can connect wireless (and/or by USB cable) to my car and several other cars I tested with iphone 15 pro with the new update today iOS 17.1.2 but issues in car play with Siri hanging in messages and volume control etc are still not fixed. I am unable to send a message or reply to a message...

(iOS 17.1.1 on iPhone 15 Pro Max) Siri is always replying to any requests at 100% volume (which is LOUD), regardless of the volume setting. I've tried asking "her" to lower the volume, which she SAYS she has done, but the replies are still at 100% (even when she amusingly says she cant take any...

I have not been able to send a text message or reply to a text message using Siri in Car Play since getting iPhone 15 pro with iOS 17.0.1. It was not fixed in 17.0.2 or 17.0.3 and now it is still not fixed in 17.1 I spoke to senior Apple tech support. They said it was a known issue but didn’t...

So my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS17 is doing something erratic. When I connect it to my car, it seems to work fine - Carplay fires up and I can use navigation and podcasts etc. But Siri isn't working properly. When I trigger it from the button on the steeering wheel, the icon comes up on the...

Is there a way to turn on VPN the does not require switching to settings app? I figured surely our “digital assistant“ could handle that, but apparently not. I’m not even talking about some 3rd party VPN app, I mean the built-in VPN in iOS. It seems especially silly when you consider I can ask...

Hello! I have a friend named Thabit, pronounced "Sa-beet". Maybe you reading this Thabit haha.. Ok so I have tried adding field -> "phonetic first name", "pronunciation first name", and even "nickname". no matter what I do, siri keeps pronouncing his name "Tha-bit". I ask siri to fix...

We all know she struggles & is a persistent annoyance, but we also know it’s not her fault - she’s been neglected for too many years, but she does shine when you know what to ask. This is my rock solid recommendation - without fail, Siri manages to do her job: “Siri, Torch on/off”. What...

I currently juggle two reminders apps and I'm having a bit of trouble getting Siri to recognize which one I want to use when adding stuff via dictation. Wondering if anybody has any tips. I use Things for most stuff, but have a shared list in Reminders and will occasionally add a location-aware...

iOS17 promised “Google” type contextual support for Siri. Not that I’ve seen. Tested tonight. Asked my HomePod to… “Siri, turn off kitchen lights and turn on bedroom light.” She gave me the same answer as always. “Can’t. Setup a theme or shortcut instead.” Meanwhile I ask Google the same thing...

Does anyone know if the new S9 or Ultra 2 watches add the capability to ask for workout updates via Siri? For example if I'm currently doing a Walking or Running workout, can I ask Siri (via my paired AirPods, etc.) how far I've walked, what my pace is, etc? This is one of the biggest things...

For years, I’ve used this command to play the entire album that has the currently playing song. For example, if I’m listening to a playlist or “radio” and a song comes on and I want to listen to the full album that the song is on, I used to just say “Play this album” This no longer works. It...

This on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.6. Since I got this phone I've had it set up so that Siri announces Notifications via Air Pods if I'm listening to Music. This has always worked. Until this week. Siri no longer announces any Notifcations. I used to get Notifications from Home...

The sound in my car is fine for Spotify, Podcasts and any other apps but for phone calls or Siri the sound is muffled and low from one speaker Seems to be the same if phone is connected by Bluetooth or USB. Help Thanks
