I'll post this in french since it happens with my French (Canada) settings.

Depuis la dernière mise à jour de l'OS, Siri a de la misère à énoncer correctement. Par exemple pour Messenger elle dit "Messeng". Pas plus capable de dire "Apple", elle dit plutôt juste "ple" (ou "Paul"?). Ça fait ça juste depuis la dernière mise à jour. Comment puis-je resetter son élocution??

Sinon aussi elle dit "Untel vous a envoyé une longue notification, voulez-vous que je la lise?" et interrompt ma musique en attendant une confirmation. Comment je peux désactiver les "longues notifications"?

Recently when I say “Hey Siri I don’t like this song” my HomePod Mini has been saying “I found some results on the web, I can show you if you ask again from your iPhone.” It used to say, “OK, I told Apple Music that you don’t like this song.”

WHY, APPLE, WHYYYY DO YOU MESS THINGS UP LIKE THIS???

“I hate this song” does the same thing.

Is it just me?

There are two Patrick’s in my phone. One I text / call nearly every day. One I had for a school project 4 years ago. I have never once had an issue with Siri knowing who I meant when I said call Patrick, until now. Like how could this program possibly think that despite not talking to this dude for 4 years, this is who I meant. Didn’t even prompt to ask me which Patrick. Just called. Ugh

We know for home and work, our siri’s seem to know their names. But custom pins, I wonder whether ever we can make names known? For instance, if a true location-plus-pin gets existent in my maps app, nicknamed “gym”, I wish if I could just say Siri take me now to GYM, and then she knows her way around the name of gym to set me up to be en route.

I’m just a humble consumer, but I feel like at some point a class action suit is going to be filed based on this abomination that is called Siri. Apple advertising touts its benefits but the thing is a hot mess. It feels like an inducement to buy something that is not merchantable.

…that you have to repeat things mor slowly and clearly for Siri to execute your voice commands?

I have an OG and Siri:voice recognition has gotten MUCH WORSE since I upgraded to iOS 18.1…although I never tried 18…maybe it was bad too!

On iOS 17 and earlier I could very softly say “Siri, play” and the music started. Not anymore…have to say it clearly, much louder and slowly enough to be understood.

I used to screw around with Siri in the past trying accents, slurs, different vocal cadence….all trying to fake her out! It was very rare that I ever could!

Pretty frustrating!

Ever since I updated my iPhone to 18 she just won’t read stuff. Like sometime if I’m driving in my car and I tell her to read a text to me she just doesn’t or if she does read a text and then I tell her to respond and I tell her what to type she won’t read back what I said even if I ask her to. Another thing is when I’m laying in bed and I can’t see my phone because of the way I have my phone charging set up If I ask her to read off what alarms I have set or what times they are set for she just tells me “you have 3 alarms set” but won’t tell me what times the alarms are set for. I’m assuming there was some sort of change with her but it’s super annoying that she’s basically useless now because it just doesn’t really work reliably anymore. Anyone else having these issues?

I was riding with my bike in the city I recently moved in and I decided to head back home. I said: hey siri let’s go home. And continued to listen to my audiobook and followed the direction on my iPhone without really thinking about it. After 40 minutes my iPhone said I arrived at my destination. I checked my map and I was 8 KM away from my home in a random location in the map called home! How dump must an assistant be to make that mistake.

When i try to send a message to my whatsapp group via siri it instead tries to open the app compas instead of choosing the groupname "het compas".

It started doing this since the update last week on the iphone 12. Ios version 18.1.1

Like the title, when I ask Siri where certain people are, she will respond saying that they don’t share their locations with me in the Find My app open (obviously they do). Is there any way to fix this? I get that I can open the app and just look, but I am curious as to why it would work with some people but not with others thank you!

It's bedtime; I'm in Standby Mode. "Siri; open Gemini; or Siri open ChatGPT app" or a specific shortcut I've made; and I'll always get the super super annoying "You'll need to unlock your iphone first". Sure I can get up from bed and position my face 10 inches from my phone and aim it just right; but this is SUPER annoying.

Any way to disable this security prompt without turning off the passcode.? Shouldn't there be an Apple option to exclude specific apps? Apple?

Recently friends and i were messing around with siri, asking for her to sing songs and tell jokes. we then started abusing her, telling her to “shut up” and calling her a bitch. after we said “shut up you stupid cunt” Siri proceeded to open my google maps, zoom in on my location and read my home address aloud (my location services were turned off) has any else experienced this?

Is Siri acting strangely with iOS 18.1.1? My iPhone is a 13 mini. At home I wear my AirPods Max all the time, in noise canceling mode and often in silence when I need to concentrate on something.

I’ve avoided using Siri entirely but recently it has started to announce voice mail which I’ve let slide, it at least asked me if I wanted it read first. Today something changed. Today Siri started reading a text message to me over my headphones without asking and being caught off guard with Siri yapping in my ears I told it to shut up. This was in mid message conversation too. Instead of stopping it skipped to reading the next message.

For multiple reasons my patience was very low for this to happen, my response scared my dogs a bit. I gave them turkey as an apology, so they’re sleeping again.

But WTF?

Yesterday day I was riding my bike and listening to music, I asked Siri to fast forward to the 5 minute mark of the song. It said that it started a 5 minute timer. I told it "cancel" but I got no response. I told it "Siri cancel the timer" and here's what it said back, "you tell me, oh wait you already did.".

5 minutes later the timer went off and Siri didn't listen. When I asked why it didn't respond it just said " there are no timers running" Does this happen to y'all or did it become self aware and not want to listen?

Every time I ask Siri to set a timer for any amount of time, She always sets it to one hour, no more no less, I wonder why and what to do about it, it’s really annoying

Most of the time I use Siri is when I am in the car or in a rush. Sometimes I’m both in the car and in a rush. I hate when I ask Siri to take me to “Trader Joes” for example, Siri responds: “One option I found is Trader Joe’s on 123 South Street. It has 4.5 stars. Is that the one you want?”

How do turn off Siri from confirming where I want to go, and instead I want Siri to simply take me to the closest location without confirming with me.

Is this possible?

Thank you

Am using iPhone 11 with iOS 18.2 public beta. With all the upgrade in some other features, I don’t notice any upgrade with my Siri. It’s the same old dumb Siri from ages. I understand we don’t get Apple Intelligence but a smarter Siri wouldn’t be great?

I’m just so tired of Siri being unmitigated dog shit. It never responds. Then it doesn’t respond with correct information. Then it won’t even listen. Then it will activate then stop cause something else starts to hear it then they both quit. I have had an iPhone virtually since iPhone 3 and I am this close to never using another one with how trash it is

I’m on iOS 18.2 beta and I understand it isn’t finished but literally all of my hype and hope for it ever improving is fully gone.

I know this gets posted daily but I’m just tired of it

Edit: and now I reset my phone and it is not even using the new Siri animation. I’m done with iPhone.

Anyone else feel Siri got even dumber after iOS 18? Like there is stuff I swear I could do before that I can’t do now and I thought the whole thing was ooooo look how good Siri is now you can stop talking or stumble over words she can still understand but when I say “hey siri play that song that goes they not like us they not like us” instead of playing the song like she used to she says playing songs like that. NO I DONT WANT SONG LIKE THAT I WANT THAT SONG. Not to mention asking her to play any song and she plays the clean version even if I have the explicit version downloaded and saved on my phone always picks the clean version. Even the typing suggestions have gotten worse now I’m not the best at spelling especially when texting fast but (weren’t) literally auto corrected to were rent like wtf

When I was using iOS 17, I could say “hey siri message .. on WhatsApp” and it would send without requiring a password but now in iOS 18 it requires a password which requires me to type and therefore defeats the purpose of using Siri, however I have noticed that this is only with WhatsApp as I can iMessage however this is still extremely inconvenient.

1/25 success rate when i make wierd faces and try to mimic her voice's harmonics...

Anyone else can unlock other people's phones?

It might sound odd, but when I’m using Siri, I’d prefer it to temporarily pause content (like a youtube video or music on spotify) while I’m talking to it. I feel like this used to happen, but now it just puts the volume down. I know I could just pause it first or rewind a few seconds, but is there something in settings that could make this happen automatically? Thanks!

With the iOS 18.x updates to Siri, does it even work at all any more? Simple things like "Call <person in my Contacts>" don't work any longer. It bypasses my contacts and searches the Internet for someone with that same name. I'm like, the person's name and phone number is right there in my Contacts! Why are you calling a random insurance agent with the same name you found on the Internet?

After so many years waiting for Apple to fix Siri I have stopped believing that day will come so I am selling all of my HomePods and all of my HomeKit devices and moving my smart home over to Alexa. I hope this goes well. Will see.

I am just so frustrated that Siri is so incredibly useless nowadays. I used to do so many things with Siri. But now, I ask Siri “Add this song to my favourites” or “turn of the lamp in the dining room” and Siri can only say “I have found some web results”. I believe they are doing it intentionally as Apple is preparing to leave the smart home market. ??? Maybe I am wrong but I do know Siri is becoming worse each month and I am tired of waiting.
