    HomeKit A mixed Siri + Alexa home

    I built my smart home around Apple’s ecosystem ensuring HomeKit compatibility whenever I added a new smart home device. All the lights in my home are Philips Hue with a few decorative Nanoleaf lights. I’ve got Eve power outlets turning on my kitchen greenhouse and powering off my TV at night...

    Playing Music from Siri Watch Face

    the Siri watch face will suggest music and when I tap it I get an option to play on iPhone. Every time I do that it says there was a problem.

    Microphone volume TOO low, works perfectly on Siri,

    Hello guys, I'm having a problem I have not had before, my Macbook's Mic suddenly stopped working. I tried to activate Siri and it work seamlessly, but in the Sound menu in setting I have to scream very loud for it to register and bars in the volume strip, it also doesn't work in other apps. I...

    All Devices Reminders, Siri and the use of ‘and’

    I’ve found an issue with the latest iOS and my use of Siri and Reminders. I’m pretty sure that historically I could use ‘and’ in my sentence and add long reminders such as the one shown in my screenshot. As you can see in the screenshot it’s now splitting my reminder on every use of ‘and’. Is...

    HomePod Any way to way Siri say less??

    Is there any way to make Siri less verbose? I had an echo dot connected to my Philips hue lights and whenever I gave a command it just did it but on my HomePod Siri likes to tell me all the steps it is going through when I’d rather they just happened without me being told. I want to say the...

    Siri’s “hold on a moment” problem

    Having owned the S0, S3 and currently an S4, is anyone else annoyed by Siri‘s consistent lag in returning answers? Siri is, more than half the time, asking me to wait whenever I invoke her, this is especially true when my hands aren’t free and I need to set a simple timer. Surely, not...

    Siri incredibly slow since iOS 13 Upgrade

    I know that lots of people have issues with Siri over the years but in the last year I've become more and more reliant on it, and have actually found it works really well. That is until I updated to iOS 13. Now I'll ask her to do something as simple as "set a timer for 15 minutes" and she'll...

    Anyone wishing the Siri watch face was embedded in other watch faces?

    Anyone wishing that the Siri watch face data was available to other watch faces? I like how the Siri watchface (1) shows the time in numeric and (2) shows relevant information at relevant times. I just got the Edition Series 5 and it has lots of nice watch faces, but after trying a few ones, I...

    iPhone Siri connection issues on LTE/cellular

    I have been having issues on my iPhone 7 with Siri not being able to connect while on cellular/LTE. This has been happening ever since iOS 13 betas and has continued with the GM. Siri will tell me to wait and then eventually time out by saying " I am having trouble with the connection". I have...

    Trigger SIRI without Keyboard

    This has probably come up here already, however, I just installed the latest 10.15 Public Beta on a 2017 27" iMac. I enabled Voice Control as soon as 10.15 was installed and said "Open Siri" and it triggers SIRI perfectly. So that's really handy. I understand using the keyboard for many might...

    HomePod HomePod can’t understand the word “the” in requests

    I’ve been troubleshooting this for weeks and am getting nowhere. Recently my HomePod has started saying “I’m sorry I can’t find anything like that this time” when I ask it to turn off “the table lamp” (or any of my other hue bulbs around the house). Previously Siri understood this no problem. I...

    Other How does Apple test its new technologies?

    We all know that Apple had tried waterproof technology on iPhone 6 before it officially announced that iPhone 7 is water-resistant. This just got me to think that maybe Apple has always tested its innovative technologies in its current generations to test their features and then release the next...

    Does anyone actually use Siri on their Mac?

    As per the question, does anybody use him/her? I still haven't found a valid reason to use it, only to play about with every now and then. I think it's pretty cool that it's there though in case I feel a need to use it haha. PS I searched before posting and found no other like this. Thanks.

    All Devices Can't change Siri voice

    I'm running PB1, which has been surprisingly stable so far. I wanted to see if the new smooth Siri voice was only for the American Female accent, but when I went to change my Siri voice I noticed two things: first, there are no Male and Female options, just the regional accents (American...

    Apple TV Recognizes Pilot's Alphabet

    This may be old news, but I just discovered the other day that you can use the pilot's alphabet when dictating text to the Apple TV. While the device has been pretty good at hearing letter names in the past for me, it's recognition of the pilot alphabet was spot on the first time I used it...
