I’m running the iOS 18 beta, and I noticed this morning when I asked for an album, it wanted to play on YouTube music, which I hardly ever use. Didn’t think much of it, but then when I asked to send a message to a friend, it asked if it had permission to use messenger. Again, never had that happen before either.

So then, I noticed that her voice is a little more fluent. I use the British accent, but I swear it’s tone is just a little more natural. It also seems to be replying faster. Is anybody noticing this? Are we finally seeing a little bit of Apple intelligence? 🙀

I try to be a fan boy for Siri but after getting a HomePod and Apple TV and using Siri more, it’s getting hard to ignore how bad it is, I asked my Apple TV to set a reminder for something at 6:30PM and it said I don’t know what you mean or something similar. I asked it, who is this actor, like people have been doing on TikTok and other platforms but it still doesn’t understand. I asked it to put on a movie from Netflix like this “Put on Geostorm on Netflix” and it doesn’t understand, I don’t know what to do, why is it so dumb? It’s usually better on iPad/mobile.

Title says it all, confirmed time by multiple sources for those that may question it

Im just at work listening to music and I randomly hear Siri say through my music and airpods, “I’m pondering eternity, it’s taking forever” out of nowhere, unprovoked. I seen someone a few years ago on this subreddit say the same thing happened to them so I’m just curious, has anyone else had Siri say something randomly to them like that or have a possible explanation for this occurrence?

Did Siri get a secret update? I’m not on a beta or anything but this morning she started carrying on normal sounding conversations like never before in regards to notifications I received this morning and asking me deeper than usual questions without me having to prompt as shown in the recent WWDC.

Hello! I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Siri has not been working. It either takes 4-5 minutes to get any type of response, or it says “Sorry, something went wrong.” This happening to anyone else/does anyone know how to fix it? It’s been doing this for about 2 weeks. I’ve tried restarting the phone, and some other things.

My word is: Atrocious

I noticed Apple Music was taking up a lot of cell data for some reason so I disabled it. Later on I tried to tell Siri to play a song from my library and she started saying it was playing only to say “there was a network problem getting Apple Music”

Does Siri really need cellular data enabled in my music app just to be able to take commands to play a song already in my damn music library? That’s kind of stupid if that’s true.

I even added “in my library” at the end of my command but it still says the same thing about not having a connection.

This just started happening in the last week or so. When using CarPlay, if I ask Siri to play a song, it only searches SiriusXM. If I specify Apple Music” it will sometimes work. What changed? Is there a setting somewhere to set priorities for searches in CarPlay?

Over the last couple weeks my father in laws phone has begun calling random local businesses instead of people in his contacts list when asking siri to make the call.

Sometimes it will be something similar to what he said, like calling "Frank's Carpet" instead of "Frank C", but most times it's not even close, like calling "Verchio's Produce" instead of "Rob".

Anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Don't know if it matters, but he typically has an airpod pro in just one ear when he's using the phone.

What are the currently available commands (ios17 or 18bdev) to add/remove songs to/from an Apple Music playlist?

I'm able to play/shuffle/pause, but when attempting to 'remove' or 'delete', Siri tells me "Sorry, I can't tell which speaker you are referring to" (?!). I don't have any speakers, I'm using AirPods Pro; I have never asked Siri to interact with speakers, and if I did, I would use a word like 'connect' or 'disconnect'.

My use case is while I'm running with only my Apple Watch, I'd like to be able to remove songs from my playlist without having to stop, put on glasses, etc.

I pull her up, ask the question and nothing happens. She says nothing and disappears. The alarms stay on. Why does this happen?

Edit: I tried it again later and it worked. No change in phrasing or anything. It’s so weird.

Basically, that’s it. I tried going through the shortcuts app and failed to figure out how to get it to work.

It’s a stupid little shortcut for “what time is it?” that will save absolute no time in my life, but would be about as much utility to me as the built-in “lumos” and “nox” are for the flashlight. In other words, when I’m hands free, I’ll use it every time.

This might not last

Mine seem to be corrupted. if I delete and reboot, they should regenerate, no?

I’m playing youtube music with homepod mini command using siri. It add silent music at the end of every tracks. I’m trying to find fixed and contact with apple support, they assumed youtube music bugs. Am I the only one having this issue?

I was using the female Siri British 1 voice on my MacBook Pro. So today I did a complete system reinstall + Time Machine reinstall; I select British 1 and all I get is some guy. The American voices sound very robotic as well. Whadda I do? Latest Sonoma build.

Did Siri get nerfed?

Well tbh iPhone as a whole got nerfed but I have a 13 pro and it's Kinda weird and new to me that Siri now only gives out bot based commands and we can't even edit the responses it gives, or I'm not sure how it's done?

For example, if I were to say, "goodbye" it'd respond only with "OK." which would be the worst possible response if I'm being honest. At this point I feel, there's no point in really going for iPhones any longer other than it's expense and brand name

Even with an AI assistant it has no competition to any of the AI models out there. Not to mention, Siri is partially deaf, and isn't capable to understanding. Is this how it's supposed to be, or am I missing out on something?

(I'm being satirical but it's also concerning how the company's downgrading their products, I got this one around 1-2 years back and I regret it)

Maybe I’m missing something, but how does one turn on the new edge animation effect for Siri in ios18?

Still getting the same “button” Siri at the bottom.

Basically what the title says. Currently I’m using Google to control everything and then we have Alexa controlling other things in the house as well and honestly, I’d rather just get rid of both of those completely and just run as much through Siri as I possibly can.

So we know that Siri with Apple intelligence is bigger and better but what about iPhones, iPads, HomePods etc. that don’t support Apple intelligence, is it going to be the same like no other improvements? I haven’t heard anyone discuss this.

to apple: Why TF can't I both type & talk to the useless pos craptastic app known as SIRI? on iPhone or desktop or whatever?

such a flipping useless POS aka siri still in 2024. hate it.
