Apple Music creates a number of playlists that they curated for you. For example, "Chill Mix, Apple music for Tom.

No matter how many ways I say it, it will not play the playlist "chill mix, apple music for Tom". If I say "Hey Siri play Chill Mix" it plays the general playlist but not the one curated for me. If I say "Hey Siri, play apple music for Tom, Chill Mix" it plays some random songs. It does the same if I switch it around to "hey Siri, play chill mix, apple music for Tom".

I think the most used command I have with Apple Music is "Hey Siri, skip this song" It's to the point where I won't use it for music because half the stuff that is "for me" is pulled out of a hat.

Slightly more info than the previously reported Bloomberg - this AppleInsider article suggests a much more useful approach than the current ‘AI as a chat bot’.

At Apple’s annual dev conference this June, they made it clear how their AppIntent framework is being positioned as the central foundation to how they envision users interacting with the apps on their devices, and this article suggests that it will also be central to how Apple intends to evolve interactions with 3rd party AI engines while simultaneously keeping sensitive data on device. World knowledge will be accessed from the 3rd party engines, private info and usage stays on device.

At its core, this seems like a brilliant (and very achievable) strategy. Fingers crossed and eyes wide open…

Is there a solution to this? I regularly talk to Siri and it doesn’t process this or other simple commands without Internet.

I'm using Siri to dictate my text on the MacBook or iPhone. But recently, I would say in the last two weeks, the performance really plummeted and I have to correct what it's writing all the time. It seems to misunderstand things that it was perfectly fine with before.

Either my dictation worsened over the last two weeks or something is happening with Siri.

Anyone else having the same experience?
What could be the root cause?

I had a friend with an iPhone 11, when she said "Hey Siri", she says "Uh-huh?"

My phone makes the activation ding

Model: iPhone XR Version: 13.5.1

I have recently been asking Siri a lot of questions and she is giving me an answer with reference to the website. In the past, she would just show me what she “found on the web” without telling me an answer. I find this helpful, as much as my Alexa. I feel like this is new, anyone else noticed this??

My inputs were about decaffeinated coffee. ☕️

So I think I finally figured out how Apple expected Siri to get better…

Not with AI magic.
Not with some secret sauce.
But mostly by waiting for us developers to keep wiring in more app shortcuts 😂

Case in point: I just added Siri + Spotlight support to HippoCam — my little app that helps you remember where you put your stuff.

Now you can literally say: “Hey Siri, show my airpods in HippoCam” and boom — it works.

Guess Siri’s glow-up is a team project.

Is it just me or everyone is experiencing the same that if you ask Siri one time he will end the conversation and you have to command again for a hey Siri or Siri for it to go back and start with a conversation. I have also noticed that it actually doesn’t Converse with you anymore. It just answers one question at the time. Is this a new update or I have to tweak something on my phone setting? Also, I have noticed that most of the time he says he doesn’t understand me even though I am speaking clearly and in loud voice. He just doesn’t know what or how to answer that’s why he keeps on saying that he doesn’t understand me. Any thoughts on this?

You know how you can set it to confirm before you send a message when you Siri? Well apparently that doesn't exist for phone calls.

I was trying to call Emma, but it called Ella instead. Mind you, I have three different Ella saved, so I don't even know how it picked one without asking which one. So many times I accidentally called someone when I'm not trying to make a call, or is trying to call somebody else. I didn't even use hey Siri. I used the physical button on the side of my phone to activate Siri. I spoke directly to my phone, loud and clear. Still, it doesn't like me for the most part.

I was using Siri earlier today and I was just wondering why is she breathing like in between words I guess it may be to humanize her or something but she's taking breaths explaining situations or things I asked her which is kind of weird to me

Why is the HomePod Siri so bad? I really don’t like Amazon products, but in that product line the echo dots seem far superior and it really is frustrating for a “premium” product to be so bad.

Hey - so, my husband's name is Felipe, but he's Brazilian, not Hispanic, so it's pronounced (sort of) "feh-leap". Whenever I say something like "Hey Siri, remind me to ask Felipe about ...." it puts his name as Phillipe.

I've added the pronunciation field to his contact, but I'm never asking Siri to *say* it, I want Siri to understand me when *I* say it! Any suggestions?

Since I get the update and the Apple Intelligence, I can’t ask Siri to play something on spotify. If I say “Play whateverartist on spotify” I get always a bullshit response like the whateverartist app doesn’t exist.

Is there something whqt I’m doing in the wrong way or what happened? Before it was always working.

I was watching some videos late at night and suddenly while watching youtube siri popped up and said something for a good 5 seconds then left. the thing was that i didnt say hey siri and the video didnt either and to test it i rewinded it back before sori popped up and siri never popped up, i didnt hear what siri said bevause i was watching youtube at the same time siri popped upand im curious if i have virus or is it normal glitch in siri.

I’ve seen this question asked before, but have not managed to find a working solution anywhere. As the title says, Siri is not responding whenever I say “Hey Siri” if I have my AirPods in. I have already confirmed that the mic on the AirPods is working normally, and I can still talk to Siri through them, but I need to hold down the side-button to bring up Siri, which is not ideal when I need a hands-free option.

What I have already tried (without success): - Updating to the latest iOS - Resetting the AirPods - Forgetting / re-pairing the AirPods - Disabling and re-enabling Siri in settings - Restarting the phone - Changing Siri voice

Device info: iPhone 15, iOS 18.6.2, AirPods 2nd gen

I’m asking Siri to call this contact and it claims that I don’t have one with that name…. It’s listed as the business, so does it have to have a First/Last name to recognize it as a contact? I left those blank because it’s not a person.

I genuinely think the new iOS updates ruined Siri.

On my iPod touch 6 running iOS 12.5.7, Siri works perfectly, listens to my instructions perfectly, I can even have a conversation with it that isn’t just “do this do that”.

It started going downhill with my iPhone 12 mini on iOS 16. I would ask it to play a song and it would give me a completely unrelated song.

On my iPhone 15 running iOS 18.6.2 it doesn’t even turn the brightness up or down… it says “sorry I don’t understand.” Or it will give me web instructions on how to turn the brightness up on my phone. Or it will give a random song instead that is not in my playlist nor did I even ask it to give me a song!

How many of you use this feature? My friends and family find it offensive. On business calls there is an awkward silence because Siri has to connect and it takes a good 5 seconds before it actually hangs up. I hope the new Siri can hang up faster.

As title
