    Siri can't set timer anymore

    Siri can't set a timer for me (or set an alarm clock). He/she just replies "working on it" and then "something went wrong". This was working earlier but not anymore. Siri can still tell me what the weather is or else. However timer is the one thing I use Siri for the most (only I would say)...

    This YouTuber has actually made Siri useful.

    For eons, Siri has been arguably one of the worst voice assistants on the market. For eons, your queries have either elicited the responses "Here's what I found", "Just a sec" or "Something went wrong." Ladies and Gents, this goes on no longer. I implore all of you to check out IDeviceHelp's...

    HomePod Weather for local shops

    If I ask my HomePod for the weather in Chicago she replies with … “It’s currently clear and 26 degrees at Chicago Boot Company …” Ask for the weather in London I get … “It’s currently clear and 26 degrees near London K Burgers …” This is a new thing. Probably since 16.1 (currently running...

    Shortcut working if tapped, not if triggered via Siri

    Hello! I'm posting here in hope that someone with more experience with Shortcuts has any idea how to address an odd issue I have. I have a very simple Shortcut that calls FlightRadar24's "Start AR view" action, and nothing else. It used to work perfectly until a few weeks ago, but now calling...

    Asking Siri to turn off the flashlight turns off the iPhone

    Yes, I know how crazy that sound. Info: am using German as my main phone language. I ask Siri to turn on the flashlight („Taschenlampe an“) Siri shows what she understands and immediately turns on the flashlight I ask Siri to turn it off („Taschenlampe aus“) Once again she displays the text...

    HomePod HomePod keeps replying to Hey Siri instead of MacBook Pro

    Hi there, my HomePod is relatively close to my MacBook Pro which is docked in at my desk. Whenever I say Hey Siri for my MacBook Pro to listen in and for example open an App, my HomePod seems to overtake and replies instead. What would be the best thing to todo here? How are you using Siri on...

    Why can’t Siri/dictation hear the word Covid?

    Three years after Covid started, Siri still can’t hear this word. It comes up as covert or covet. Surely these days it’s a commonly used word. I remember reading that they used to monitor conversations to try to improve Siri and dictation, but that stopped a few years ago, because some of the...

    HomeKit Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10 billion this year

    While many will complain about Siri and say that it should be more like Alexa, it does not appear that Amazon is all that pleased with Alexa. Perhaps this is why Apple has not invested more into Siri...

    Other Auto-subscription to Apple Music Voice Preview - Siri rant

    As if asking Siri to play some music (locally available) and Siri saying “You need to subscribe to Apple Music first” wasn’t annoying enough, today when I asked Siri to play some music, it gave a lengthy reply which I couldn’t hear and played the song. Later when I checked, Siri auto-subscribed...

    Siri trying to be too friendly?

    So… This happened in my household today! This is one of the usual commands used. Typically to locate other family members’ phones. There are no shortcuts with this phrase. The phone is iPhone 12, running iOS 16.1 (20B82).

    HomePod Siri speaks to me in different languages when I ask to turn the lights on

    I have a full size HomePod in the living room. I mainly use it to turn the lights on and off along with playing music. A few days ago I was watching a video that included someone saying "Hey Siri". After that, I've found she speaks to me in a different language most of the time when I ask to...

    You’ll need to update your Apple Music subscription in order for me to do that for you.

    I know that Apple is trying to plug Apple Music, but lately it seems that every time I request Siri to play music that is stored locally on my iPhone, I get a stupid response (see subject). Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on how to disable Apple Music integration altogether? I don...

    Broken Siri...

    Seems like Siri is breaking overnight. Only fix I can do is to turn my phone off and on again. This will work, and then the next day it will be the same problem. Siri, would start, and disappear right away, or it will start, and then would say "something went wrong, try again later..." I'm on...

    HomePod Siri on HomePod Won’t stream Apple Music

    As of the morning of October 12, 2022, Siri on my HomePods, running OS 16.0, cannot find Apple Music artists, songs or Apple Music Radio. Nothing has changed with my Apple Music subscription. In fact, Siri on my iPhones works just fine with Apple Music. My HomePods respond by saying, “Just a...
