r/Siri

Case in point:

I ask, "Hey, siri, do more people part their hair on the left or the right?"

Siri responds with the exact same comment 90%+ of my queries are met with: "I can answer that question if you ask again from your iPhone."

WTF?!? Where is the "intelligence" in this? The most bog simple query to ANY search engine will return a simple, singular, answer: "left" or "right" (or possibly, "in the middle"). How is this too difficult for Siri on my HomePod to deal with? I don't want to leave the room, go find a (pocket) computer, type in my query, and finally get an answer to a simple, merely passing, question.

Worse, Apple seems to prioritize my "Address Book" data over all else, so if I ask something about a celebrity, in 99% of cases I will get an answer about someone I know whose name is similar (or not even close in some cases!) to that celebrity's name. This is worse than Eliza in the 1970s!! 🤦

Can someone help me understand why Siri is so dumb. I have Siri to be always listening for the activation phrases, “hey siri” or “Siri”. But she never responds or appears on my screen. But when I have AirPods in she magically works. As far as I can tell no settings change when my AirPods are connected. This is not a new problem it has been a problem for at least a year (possibly 2 I don’t use Siri much and noticed it a little over a year ago) Any advice is appreciated.

iPhone 17 Pro, AirPods Pro3, Apple Music and Overcast. Siri no longer follow voice commands. Listing to Music, say “Siri Next” Siri lights up, says lit, does nothing. No next song. Overcast, get to a commercial, say “Siri, fast forward 2 minutes “. Siri lights up, mutes Overcast, stays lit, does nothing. Just hangs, mute, with the Siri phone halo on. Worked fine yesterday on 26.4. No longer works. Anyone else?

it seems like on a daily basis. I'll ask Siri something and she'll get what I say completely wrong and then of course I'll tell her that she is dumb as a stone and she'll tell me that's not nice. What I'm wondering is how many of you have told Siri that she's dumb?

Does anyone elses siri sound like a yn?

Hi,

How can I ask SIRI to create an appointment, add the time and the location and a note without it cutting off? I can ask Siri to create a 2pm appointment for a date but when I start asking to add an address it cuts me off.

Examples that work:

* “Set a dishwasher timer for 60 minutes.”
* “Set a dryer timer for 30 minutes.”
* “Set an oven timer for 10 minutes.”
* etc. etc.

What consistently NEVER works:

* “Set a paint timer for 30 minutes.”

It’s like Siri refuses to acknowledge the existence of the word “paint”.

Does it work for anyone else?

Why does this personal assistant still not get that when I’m using “hey siri,” I need a fucking spoken reply? And why does it ALWAYS announce what I say when I hold down the button to turn her on manually? Just another reason to add to the list of why I’m leaving Apple as soon as I can.
