very very useful

Does that command work?

I just asked my watch "How much battery does my phone have" and it replied "Sorry, I can't help you with that on Apple Watch"

Is it just me or has she gotten worse lately?

Other commands Siri should add:

• How far have I walked today?
• How many steps have I taken today?

The lack of Siri integration with the basic measurements of Apple Watch/Fitness...

Siri should just be abolished at this point. It’s gotten so bad that it has actually become a joke. The need to just get rid of it and come out with an Apple Assistant. New name so it won’t be associated with the dumpster fire that is Siri.

Add enable Water Lock in there.

I asked that on my phone and got “There are no accessories that support that” with a button to open the Home app. I suppose that makes sense but also can’t think of a homekit accessory that would need charging and do it in a way where youd have to ask Siri to find out if it is.

“Sorry, something went wrong”

The only thing Siri can do right is setting the timer.

I have been following along with these Siri fails for a while, and always try the same commands on my iPhone. Could it be that American English is super buggy? Australian English works 100% of the time for me.

Which is ridiculous in its own way.

Siri is so dumb I feel bad for it

One feature that I noticed is that Siri won’t work if you phrase things in a demanding way. “I need a flashlight” is unclear “Can you please turn on the flashlight” works

I really miss google assistant. I would love if Apple allowed third party assistants but I know that would never happen.

Prior to iOS 15 it used to work, from watch to phone & vice versa, had a case opened with Apple care at the time , support agent did a diagnosis of the watch & phone only to come to the following conclusion “software glitch” which he later informed that would be taken care of on the next update ; we are at 16.1 now ; still waiting.

You can install assistant, and access it by saying “hey siri, hey Google” (or tapping the app icon) and then waiting for assistant to activate. It’s not ideal, but it does allow access to assistant.

Just today I asked Siri to open control centre.

“Hey siri”

“Yes?”

“Open control centre.”

“Sorry, I can’t find an app called control centre. Would you like to search for it on the AppStore?”

Could be a cultural thing, I’ve never known anyone talk like that except for US tv series and movies. In the UK at least, talking like that would be seen as incredibly rude. You would however say “does anyone have a torch?” In a very demanding way which wouldn’t be seen as rude.

The “I need a flashlight” comes across as “I’m going to wait here until someone brings me a torch, whereas it’d be phrased as a question in the UK

Hey siri, turn on the flashlight. No manners or extra words.

Yep, that’d work. I was just picking out the language used, it’s not the clearest way of asking for something. Whereas a clear question like my example or a clear demand like yours should work

Mine says “your batteries are taking a while to respond.”

I don’t know why that is, but I feel like Siri has become worse and worse over the past years or so. I feel like it used to be better.

Sometimes, every couple of months I try to use siri to start spotify. Not even that works reliably

Set a fourteen minute timer

Done.

16 minutes later hey siri, how long is left on my timer?

Your forty minute timer has 24 minutes remaining.

Maybe ask him “how high is the volume set?” and he might tell you if the phone is charging. Apple is trolling us all with Siri.

I switched from spotify to apple music a little over 2 months ago because of siri integration and it was built into the phone. Yeah, I switched back to spotify this week. I asked siri to play a song and it played the instrumental then asked again in a different way and it STILL played the instrumental... the song i want is in my library why not play that one? smfh... siri could be deleted tomorrow and i wouldn't give two shits

I wish we could alter iOS just a little more than the past 16 iterations. A 3rd party app store would be nice but Apple wouldn't make money off of that. Another assistant on the phone... bUt PrIvAcY. I don't want to switch to android but fuckkkk iPhone is just bland. Why does it take a 3rd party app to change the design of icons and we still can't place apps where we want it on the home screen. Anyway that's my complaint.

Turkish : What's happening with them sausages, Charlie?

Sausage Charlie : Five minutes, Turkish.

Turkish : It was two minutes five minutes ago.

You have to mutter it though

(Good stories, but JK Rowling’s writing style leaves a lot to be desired)

She can’t even reliably bring up songs from Apple Music anymore. Infuriating because it’ll work a couple times, then suddenly “problems” start happening.

Imagine working on the Siri team. I wonder if they just send Apple’s worst engineers to that group to wait it out until they quit.

Siri is so shit it’s sad.

Genius

Just tried it. It does work. Can turn it on and off

I hate using Siri. She simply doesn’t understand anything.
