    Siri thinks I am my own mother. Eeeek!

    Hi there! Every time I ask Siri to call my mother (or "mom"), she tries to call ME instead (insert Sigmond Freud joke here). I've removed and re-added the relationship on my contact card. I've confirmed that my card has been selected as "My Info" in Siri's preferences. I've restarted and...

    Chances of Apple making a Siri modification based on feedback?

    First of all I am a mere mortal NOT Barbra Steisand. Now on that note what are the chances of Apple responding to some feedback regarding Siri behaviour and implementing my suggestion. What I am after is a way for Siri to play ONLY downloaded music when asked. On iOS 9 I could set "Show Only...

    Looks like apps can setup a call feature?

    I thought I had the contact number for my bank in my phone, so I asked Siri to call USAA and she responded with this: Looks like apps can enable a call feature?

    More evidence that "Dark Mode" is coming

    Not sure if this is common knowledge, but more evidence that "Dark Mode" is on it's way. If you ask Siri "What is the status of Dark Mode", her reply is "I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question. But you can find out in Settings". ios 10 beta 5

    Siri missing words on 6S dictation

    Every time I dictate to Siri using "Hey Siri" or by holding down the home button, Siri either misses the first word or two or comes up with a blank box completely. This is despite the iPhone actually picking up exactly what I've said (Look at attached screenshots). I tried different phrases...

    iPhone Siri on iPhone 4/iPod 4G

    Hello guys. I was just wondering if there is any possible way to get Siri on my iPhone 4 (CDMA) in 2016? I've been searching everywhere and have been watching lots of YouTube videos on how to get Siri on my iPhone but none of them worked. So is there any repo out there or package I can...

    "Watch random 'Big Bang theory' episode" - Siri command?

    I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV 4. Either a reason not to- or an argument to actually buy the ATV4 would be Siri. But I was really wondering if Siri is capable of letting you view a random episode of a specific show by command? I've got a few seasons of The Big Bang Theory on my local NAS and...

    CarPlay changing my usage of Siri and Maps

    I've been using iPhones for years and two things I have not used much at all are Siri and Apple Maps. I tried both initially but then quickly abandoned them. I installed a CarPlay head unit a few weeks back and since then I've been using both a lot more. I've discovered the coolness of asking...

    Siri family relationships

    I am having an odd problem with Siri and established family relationships. I told Siri that the contact "Mom" is my mom and that "Dad" is my dad, and she remembers that. I used to be able to say "Call my mom" or "tell my mom..." And that would work. However, as of a week or so ago, when I tell...

    Hey Siri Won't Set Up On iPhone 6s

    Hi, I can't set up Hey Siri on my iPhone 6s running iOS 9.3.2. I've shut off Siri, turned it on, hard reset my iPhone, taken my case off, and made sure my microphone is clear. What happens is I click set up, say "Hey Siri!" For the first prompt, and it makes the little bar go up and down showing...

    So Apple didn't release an Alexa competitor

    Despite what some armchair analysts predicted, Apple didn't announce an Alexa/Google Home competitor. Apple instead focused in launching SiriKit, which expands what Siri can do to existing devices. Alexa can expand, but Google Now can't, like Cortana which also doesn't offer this. The most...

    iOS 10 Hey Siri - multiple devices

    I am not sure if this was already but it seems that since I installed iOS 10 on my iPhone 6s and iPad Air 2 Siri is ware both devices are in proximity of each other. Prior to iOS 10 if I say "Hey Siri" with both devices in the same room they would both respond (was quite humorous sometimes and...

    iPhone Siri - Enable Dark Mode; 'Sorry can't change that setting'

    Hi, With all the rumours going around about a 'Dark Mode' in iOS 10; I thought I'd see if Siri knows anything about the 'Dark Mode' in iOS 10. So I asked here to 'Enable Dark Mode' and she said 'Sorry I can't change that setting' - she seems to have successfully recognised it as a setting...

    Hey, Siri! Ahead of WWDC, Siri spotted talking about the ‘Finder’ (Siri for Mac incoming?)

    Yes, talk more about the Finder, Siri. Trying ever so hard to elicit a response and clues from Siri. Siri on Mac, can't wait. Much needed feature. http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/11/ahead-of-wwdc-siri-spotted-talking-about-the-finder-siri-for-mac-incoming/

    SIRI story from the BBC 8th June

    This is a bit of a strange story on the BBC website in the UK today (8/6/16) I will post the link below so the story can be read in full and in context but basically it tells the story of how a baby's life was saved by SIRI as it called the Emergency Services for the mother. To summarise...

    Siri.....imagine the possibilities

    I posted earlier a reply to a thread regarding Siri becoming available on OS X and got to thinking of some of the enhancements Apple could make. It could become a potential life saver to someone who has certain medical conditions by integrating Bluetooth-enabled instruments (e.g. BP monitors...

    Carrier Siri and Audio Messages won't work for me

    The microphone on my iPhone is not picking up any sound from Siri and the iMessage audio messages. I tested the mic on other apps(Snapchat, Video, and Voicecall), and it works fine there. On the audio messages, I try to talk, but all it plays back is just a loud noise without a hint of my...

    Apps Siri Search / FXNOW App: Problem Locating Content

    I'm having issues with Siri search and the FXNOW app. When searching for a show, say "The Americans", Siri will return the correct results and episodes, but when selecting an episode via "Open in FXNOW", I receive a black screen with the message "Problem location content". Is anyone else having...

    Siri and Emojis in contacts

    So I regularly use Hey Siri to dial numbers in my contacts, as its great when you're driving and you want to talk on speaker, but after iOS 9.3.1 she has an annoying habit of now saying the contacts name along with the emojis I have on some of them. Whereas 9.2 or prior, she would just say the...
