    iPhone Siri Start Screen Recording not working

    Hi, I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.6. The start screen recording function using Siri is not working. Every time I ask Siri, I get this response "Sorry, I cant help you with that here". Occasionally it will search the web. When the feature was first released, I tired it and it...

    BBC Sounds and Siri

    Hi, I created a shortcut to play Radio 5 Sports Extra on BBC Sounds, using the 'add action', apps, and selecting BBC Sounds and then selecting the radio station listed. I can tap on the shortcut and it works, but it will NOT work with Siri no matter how many times I try. It just says: 'Sorry...

    HomeKit Why HomePod so dumb?

    Has anybody else running an Apple Smart Home noticed this: When I make requests to Siri to control devices from my phone or Apple TV, they work very reliably. Almost never have issues. However, when im walking through my house and utilize the HomePod minis I have set up (3 in a way where I can...

    Hey Siri, what's the weather like today?

    Despite its many flaws, Siri used to be my go to for weather. While dressing, I would ask, "what's the weather like today" and would get a full forecast: "Currently, it is 50 degrees. Today will be cloudy in the morning with a chance of rain. The afternoon will be sunny with a high of 76...

    Apple Watch Siri Consistently Stops Working On First Try

    I have an Apple Watch SE A2351 with WatchOS 9.4. For the last month or so (maybe ever since upgrading to 9.4), Siri very consistently stops responding to commands on the first try. Siri always says it’s having trouble understanding and to try again. I repeat the exact same command in the exact...

    Siri gets fixated on the word car. Any other weird behavior you've seen?

    I had a weird experience with Siri yesterday. I wanted to remember to plug my Tesla in when I got back from running some errands. So I say, "Hey Siri, remind me to plug in my car when I get home." Easy, right? 'Ok, I will remind you to "plug in your car" when you get in the car.' I tried seven...

    asking Siri play a specific song from my watch doesn’t work

    I’ve noticed recently that if I activate Siri from my watch, and ask it to play a specific song, nothing will happen. For example, I can say “play Let it Be by The Beatles” and nothing will happen. Previously, this would work. I can say “play songs by The Beatles” and my phone will start playing...

    HomeKit Siri: Open garage door (via homekit) only if I'm in a range of X meter of home.

    Hi, I've enabled a Somfy garage door opener to my home app (via home assistant > homekit controller). When I ask Siri to open the garage door, it always opens and closes wherever I am. Due to security reasons, I want to be able to open / close the garage door only when I'm near my home. Does...

    HomeKit Looking for LED ribbon lights for bedroom/home office

    I am redecorating my bedroom & home office (small apartment so they are one and the same). I am looking for recommendations on LED lighting (possibly ribbon lights) that I can run around the room. I would like to have them be able to be controlled by HomeKit/matter.

    HomePod Anyone else having trouble with Siri/responsiveness on HomePod 2?

    Hey y’all! My HomePod OG pair is working totally fine in my living room, but in my bathroom I feel like the single HomePod 2 is a nucance. There are a lot more noticeable and frequent issues with it not playing music than before when I just had a single HomePod OG in the bathroom. I’ll say...

    iPhone 14 Pro “Hey Siri” working with just “Siri” for me today

    I was talking about “Siri” today and Siri popped up on my iPhone 14 pro and thought it was strange but then remembered Apple talking about dropping the “Hey” so I tested some more and to my discovery, to activate “Siri” all I have to say now is “Siri” and she pops up! Anyone else?!

    What's happened to Siri in recent weeks?

    Siri, while always pretty poor, has become disastrously bad in the last few weeks. What change has occurred? When music is playing on the HomePod: Me: "Hey Siri. Stop" Siri: "No one is calling at this time" This always used to work to stop music. Desire to listen to up tempo music: Me: "Hey...

    HomePod Different Siri responses from HomePod and iPhone when running a Shortcut

    This is really just a comment rather than a problem. I’d be interested in others’ comments. I’ve created a Shortcut that performs an action, then has a delay (120 seconds) and then performs another action. I can run this Shortcut from my iPad or iPhone and they just do it without complaint...

    Siri and the Super Bowl

    I watched the Super Bowl today (one of the finest ever) and had a wonderful Siri experience. During the game I thought I heard someone speaking to me. I was home alone so checked outside to see if one of the neighbors was calling. No one there. Finally I figure the voice was the Siri clone...

    Apple and AI / LLMs [MERGED]

    As much as people hate on it, Siri is critical to Apple’s future. It’s frustrating that so little is said about Siri from senior executives at Apple. Artificial Intelligence is hard but a company of Apple’s resources should be pouring not just millions but billions into developing Siri. Like...

    Siri - Weather Forecast

    It's 2023 and Siri on my iPhone cannot tell me the forecast for the day. I wanted to get an estimate for the snow total today and asked for the weather forecast. Siri simply said: "It's snowing." I guess even with all this talk of AI we still have a long way to go before anyone gets automated...

    Suddenly this morning all of my OG and mini HomePods have suddenly stopped being able to respond to requests. I only get “On It…” “This is taking too long” etc. restarted network, and even tried removing and re-adding HomePod (which has always been the previous fix and still nothing. Anyone else...
