    iPhone 7 Plus - Massive Siri Battery Drain

    Hello everyone, My iPhone 7 Plus battery life was great until this week started. Now I can barely make it a day and it's all because of more than 30% battery usage by Siri. I have turned it completely off (which shouldn't be a good solution as I love Hey Siri on my AW which is also connected)...

    How exactly is Siri improving?

    Is it just me, or is Siri truly getting worse with regards to understanding simple commands? I am not referring to Siri understanding my words, because that is not an issue. I'm talking about her loss of ability to do things she could before, or even forgetting what she was talking about. I...

    Siri vs Alexa Smart Home (Longish read)

    I guess this is the appropriate section - just thought i'd give fellow Mac users a little write up of my experiences between the two mainly for smart home control. Alexa only came out mid October in the UK and we're still missing some features however so far i've not been overly impressed. I...

    Hey Siri "You'll need to unlock your iPhone first"

    Updated to iOS 10.1 on my iPhone. Now Siri will not open any of my apps from the sleep state. With passcode set to require after 4 hours, and phone passcode unlocked, it does not work. In iOS 9.X I could say "Hey Siri, open maps" and the phone would wake up and maps would open. (assuming that...

    Facebook now in Siri (SiriKit) but what do we get?

    I noticed yesterday, along with Uber, Facebook was an app now able to integrate with Siri on my phone. Unlike with uber where it’s obvious what Siri integration can do, e.g. Siri book an uber to ….” what can Facebook bring to me that Siri didn’t do already? Siri could post to facbook prior to...

    Perhaps a Sierra upgrade reason: Frank, adult conversation with Siri?

    I was amused at this article, and it occurred to me that would be one benefit of getting Siri on the desktop... ;) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/27/lonely-men-are-increasingly-turning-to-virtual-assistants-for-lo/

    Siri photos search doesn't work as expected

    I've noticed a disconnect between Siri's ability to search my on-phone photos and the "search box" ability. I have people's faces identified in my iphone's Photos (ios 10). So, I have multiple pics of each of my kids, identified, plus a bunch of other objects that apparently are searchable...

    Language issue with Sierra and Siri

    I am a swedish bloke living in Sweden however I still prefer my operating systems in English (its easier to find information on Google as one example), so I have installed Sierra with English language. But if I try to speak with Siri in Swedish, which I prefer, we do not come to terms on how to...

    Hi everyone, I'm having issues with Siri on my MacBook Pro. She is working fine in every aspect except she is getting the dates of people's birthdays wrong.

    Siri has my son's contact info as default

    Hi, just installed Sierra on the Macbook Pro. When I set it up, I remember it asking "What do you want Siri to call you?" or something like that, and I typed in "James". Now, after a few days, I decided to use Siri to ask about the weather, and it replied "It's 72 degrees, Toby." Toby is my kids...

    Siri Voice Quality TERRIBLE

    Just updated a couple hours ago and can't seem to figure out why my Siri isn't speaking with the same quality sound of English as it does on my iPhone. It sounds like the iPhone 4 Siri or something. Tried to download higher quality voice in the Accessibility -> Dictation settings, but that...

    Siri sounds worse in macOS than on iOS

    I had posted a thread over in the iOS 10 forum about how Siri sounds more human like. I just installed macOS Sierra and Siri sounds awful! I wonder why they're using the old robotic Siri voice in macOS while on iOS10, she sounds so human like. Anybody else noticing this? Ask Siri to laugh on...

    Siri sounds more human like

    I've noticed that Siri got more human like articulation and verbal traits after the pubic release of iOS10. I had the gold master but after iOS 10 went live, Apple must have updated Siri to its next generation voice synthesis. For example, she sometimes laughs or giggles. She did it before but...

    Maps Voice Navigation Cuts off in Car

    Since updating to iOS 10, Siri is now cut off when I use Apple Maps through my car's Bluetooth (not CarPlay, BTW). She'll go to say, for example, "Start at Smith Street," but only get through "Start at" and then stop. If I'm playing music or a podcast, it will pause for the full length of what...
