    All iPads When did Siri start allowing background interaction?

    I didn’t notice that Siri in iPadOS 14 suddenly started letting me interact with the app in the background without it disappearing. I know the knew compact UI was there since the first beta, but in what beta did we start being able to use the app behind Siri while still talking to Siri? It used...

    iPhone X App Library Only vs Hidden Home Screens

    Which have you found yourself using more so far? I can't really find much of a use for hiding home screens, when you can just move an app entirely being "library view only." Initially, I planned to keep everything on home screens - but hidden - for the sake of being able to quickly take stock of...

    How to make a shortcut that is a Siri voice command?

    I'm going in circles on this as stuff on the internet doesn't look like my iPhone. I have cameras (in Home app) that I can view using Siri ("Hey Siri, show me the front door", as an example). I'd like to have a button on my widgets screen that I can tap and it show me the camera. I see...

    Watch OS 7 - Shortcuts now need "Run" or "Cancel" w/ Siri

    I arm and disarm the alarm on my house with a Siri shortcut. Prior to Watch OS 7, I simply raised my wrist and spoke the Siri shortcut. Now the new shortcuts app opens and requires me to press "Run" or "Cancel". Is there a way to run Siri Shortcuts on my watch w/o having to press "Run" - Thank you!

    Siri Watch Face forgotten?

    Basically the title. Has Apple abandoned making updates/changes to the Siri Watch Face? I feel like it had (has) so much potential. Just wondering if I’ve missing something and maybe they are still doing stuff for it. I didn’t see anything mentioned about it in their watchOS 7 info or the new...

    "Listen for Siri" option missing in settings

    The "Listen for Siri" option is missing in settings. Is this an error, or is Apple deprecating that on MacOS? If so, does anyone know why? Seems really stupid, as Siri was just beginning to become almost useful.

    How to edit custom vocabulary for Voice Control (Siri) in Catalina?

    I'd like to add a large number of words used in my work to Voice Control. However, the UI in the Accessibility preference panel only allows entering one word at a time. In Catalina, I believe Voice Control with US English uses Siri's voice recognition. I can't find the dictionary or other...

    Typed Siri Commands in Shortcuts?

    Since the Apple Music app doesn't display song release dates, unless you navigate to the album, I want to type out the Siri command "When was this song released" to run as a shortcut. Is that possible?

To those who’ve installed the beta, have you noticed any other offline features? Can you can control AirPods playback and volume with Siri when offline (i.e. in the subway)? Any...

    I’ve just discovered something... Maybe everyone else knows already, but I didn’t until this week (even though I thought I was proficient with my AW!)... I’d been waiting for radio apps like TuneIn to start streaming live radio to the cellular Apple Watch without a phone being present. Can’t...

    HomePod Any way to report Siri mis-pronunciation?
