    How do I turn off always on Siri on Apple Watch WatchOS 5, or have it require the user to say "Hey Siri" I liked the ability to say Hey Siri to my watch when I wanted to do voice commands, but in WatchOS 5 the way Siri is activated doesn't listen to "Hey Siri" instead it is always listening. I...

    So, I have my Apple TV (4th gen) set up in HomeKit in my living room. Then I have my old Airport Express set up with some speakers plugged in in the dining room. When I say, "Hey, Siri, play Bruce Springsteen on all speakers," music comes out of the dining room speaker, but not the Apple TV...

    Cool– Siri briefly slows down the fans so it can hear you better (Macbook Pro)

    My computer was running hot and the fans were going full speed, and I accidentally activated Siri. While it was listening, it turned the fans down momentarily. Presumably, the internal mic has a hard time hearing when the fans are in jet-engine mode, so they programmed in this nifty little...

    iOS PB 3 Siri Issue?

    Ever since updating to the latest public beta, Siri hasn’t worked on my iPhone X. I’ll receive a message that there’s an issue with the connection and I should try again later. Resetting the network settings resolves the issue for an hour or so, and then the issue arises again. I also did a...

    Siri: Apple gave up & followed Microsoft

    Now that 2018 WWDC is behind us, I have been waiting for Apple aficionados to write about something specific but to my surprise I did not really find any mention of it, apart maybe from WSJ's Joanna Stern. To me, it seems that Apple is following Microsoft when it comes to search and AI. When...

    Siri will get a lot better according to... Siri

    So I was talking to Siri today and she gave me some interesting answers about WWDC. I wasn’t excited about it but now I’m kinda looking forward to WWDC. What do you guys think of the answers? I think maybe Siri will get a new design (new home?) or even the whole iOS. Lets all keep asking her...

    Universal Multiple iDevices in 1 room & Siri

    Dumb question I was thinking of today.... Say if you have a HomePod, newer Macbook/iMac, iPhone, & iPad in one room and say "Hey Siri?" Which device takes precedent or do they all reply? I only have my iPad and iPhone with me in my office now and my plugged in iPhone X listened when I summoned...

    We recently got a HomePod and have been enjoying it for music and operating some HomeKit switches in the house. I have noticed that occasionally Siri will not be able to complete a task I have requested, responding that she was unable to find a component, etc. If I then make the same request...

    Can we expect some basic functionality that we don't have now? Such as; phone calls, audiobooks, etc. Are there any rumors? There seems to be so many basic functions that siri does on all other devices, but not on Homepod. And I'm talking basic functions that dont need a screen. Also -...
