    Hey Siri Won't Set Up On iPhone 6s

    Hi, I can't set up Hey Siri on my iPhone 6s running iOS 9.3.2. I've shut off Siri, turned it on, hard reset my iPhone, taken my case off, and made sure my microphone is clear. What happens is I click set up, say "Hey Siri!" For the first prompt, and it makes the little bar go up and down showing...

    So Apple didn't release an Alexa competitor

    Despite what some armchair analysts predicted, Apple didn't announce an Alexa/Google Home competitor. Apple instead focused in launching SiriKit, which expands what Siri can do to existing devices. Alexa can expand, but Google Now can't, like Cortana which also doesn't offer this. The most...

    iOS 10 Hey Siri - multiple devices

    I am not sure if this was already but it seems that since I installed iOS 10 on my iPhone 6s and iPad Air 2 Siri is ware both devices are in proximity of each other. Prior to iOS 10 if I say "Hey Siri" with both devices in the same room they would both respond (was quite humorous sometimes and...

    iPhone Siri - Enable Dark Mode; 'Sorry can't change that setting'

    Hi, With all the rumours going around about a 'Dark Mode' in iOS 10; I thought I'd see if Siri knows anything about the 'Dark Mode' in iOS 10. So I asked here to 'Enable Dark Mode' and she said 'Sorry I can't change that setting' - she seems to have successfully recognised it as a setting...

    Hey, Siri! Ahead of WWDC, Siri spotted talking about the ‘Finder’ (Siri for Mac incoming?)

    Yes, talk more about the Finder, Siri. Trying ever so hard to elicit a response and clues from Siri. Siri on Mac, can't wait. Much needed feature. http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/11/ahead-of-wwdc-siri-spotted-talking-about-the-finder-siri-for-mac-incoming/

    SIRI story from the BBC 8th June

    This is a bit of a strange story on the BBC website in the UK today (8/6/16) I will post the link below so the story can be read in full and in context but basically it tells the story of how a baby's life was saved by SIRI as it called the Emergency Services for the mother. To summarise...

    Siri.....imagine the possibilities

    I posted earlier a reply to a thread regarding Siri becoming available on OS X and got to thinking of some of the enhancements Apple could make. It could become a potential life saver to someone who has certain medical conditions by integrating Bluetooth-enabled instruments (e.g. BP monitors...

    Carrier Siri and Audio Messages won't work for me

    The microphone on my iPhone is not picking up any sound from Siri and the iMessage audio messages. I tested the mic on other apps(Snapchat, Video, and Voicecall), and it works fine there. On the audio messages, I try to talk, but all it plays back is just a loud noise without a hint of my...

    Apps Siri Search / FXNOW App: Problem Locating Content

    I'm having issues with Siri search and the FXNOW app. When searching for a show, say "The Americans", Siri will return the correct results and episodes, but when selecting an episode via "Open in FXNOW", I receive a black screen with the message "Problem location content". Is anyone else having...

    Siri and Emojis in contacts

    So I regularly use Hey Siri to dial numbers in my contacts, as its great when you're driving and you want to talk on speaker, but after iOS 9.3.1 she has an annoying habit of now saying the contacts name along with the emojis I have on some of them. Whereas 9.2 or prior, she would just say the...

    General Can't teach Siri how to pronounce names anymore

    My girlfriend has a rather strange sounding name, so Siri never pronounces it correctly. Previously, I would use the "that is not how you pronounce that" command and then teach her how to pronounce it correctly. As of 9.3 however, doing it only gives me two pronounciation options: the original...

    Resolved iPhone 6 Home Button - Hardware Issue?

    Over the last couple weeks, I've noticed that Siri would somehow get triggered on my iPhone 6 while in my front pocket when I sit or squat. I don't have "Hey Siri" engaged so I thought it was really strange. (I've been on the Public Beta program so that I thought it was just the beta being...

    Siri doesn't recognize any voice

    Hey guys, I have a family member having problems with their iPhone 6. The microphone works perfectly, but Siri does not pick up any audio. When you activate Siri, it does not pick up any audio at all. When we make a phone call on speaker it picks up the audio just fine. It's on the latest...

    iOS 9.3 beta and HomeKit

    Has anyone else noticed issues using Siri with HomeKit devices after installing the 9.3 beta? I seem to be getting a lot more "can't find decvices" replies since the update. Maybe it's a coincidence but I thought I'd ask.

    IPhone replied to text automatically

    My mom texted me from her Ipad last night asking for ideas on wireless headphones. I was asleep. I woke up to a conversation where I replied "I found these..." with a link to headphones on amazon(more than 1 back-and-forth with links). I never even saw the text until the morning, let alone...

    Hey Siri + Bluetooth = Amazon Echo?

    Im in the process of setting up some home automation and have been weighing the pros and cons of Siri vs Alexa. Currently running Homebridge on my raspberry Pi to control my nest, kwikset lock, and wemo lights. I now see Alexa can control wemo switches so considered switching to that until I had...

    Hey Siri...?

    I thought Siri was supposed to learn your voice for the Hey Siri feature? Or was that just an iPhone thing? The reason I ask is because I bought my wife an Apple Watch since I liked mine so much, and while I was showing her some features I used Hey Siri, and her watch responded along with mine...
