    HomePod Wind - Siri cracks me up

    "Hey, Siri, what's the wind?" I ask my HomePod. "No, it doesn't seem very windy right now; only about 15 miles an hour." The actual wind is 15 MPH, with gusts up to 28. The wind chill is -10. I wonder what Siri would say in a hurricane . . .

    Apple series 2 - Digital Crown

    My Apple Watch out of no where started consistently talking to me as if I was non-stop holding the Digital Crown in. The actual crown is not stuck, so I can only assume its stuck inside somewhere. Has anyone had this issue? my watch continuously vibrates and annoyingly says "I didn't understand"...

    HomePod Alexa vs Siri (Alexa bad understanding?)

    Hi guys, I’ve been using Siri for years. Recently I got a Sonos Beam which has Alexa built in, and I started using it for controlling my TV, my Roomba, thermostat, music, setting timers etc. etc. I always heard that Siri were miles behind Alexa and the Google assistant. I can certainly see...

    Siri & Search

    Can somebody please explain to me what “Siri & Search” does? And what does “Suggestions in Search” do?? And what is “Suggestions in Look Up?” What if I want to disable these features for each app? Do I have to adjust my Siri Settings for every app?

    Using Siri to make call will periodically ask to unlock phone

    Not sure which update caused this. But, periodically on both of my Iphones and when using Siri to make a call. It will ask me to unlock my phone. This is a real drag especially if I’m driving and don’t want to be distracted. I called Apple and they said this was a new feature and could not be...

    Other Hey Siri While Playing Music

    Listed as a feature available on the apple website, as well as verified a feature by talking to apple support, it is almost impossible for me to activate Hey Siri while playing music above level 2 volume. Obviously the volume of the music interferes with the mic's ability to pick up voice, so my...

    Autocorrect in dictation getting worse?

    I’ve been noticing that after I dictate with Siri, the autocorrect consistently changes the text in ways that introduce new errors. One change that is driving me nuts is changing “-“ to “Dash.” Even after correcting it many times, it seems that Siri never learns the correct way. Overall, the...

    Siri is a joke

    So the Red Sox are - right now - playing in a postseason game. I swear I have asked this exact question before: “Hey Siri, how are the Red Sox doing?” and gotten the score. Instead, the attached screenshot is what happened. Did it have a stroke? Dimentia setting in? How could I possibly be...

    "Hey Siri - turn on the flashlight"

    I discovered that when I say this "turn on the flashlight" to my AW, the light turns on there instead of on my phone. I'm already finding this handy. Even though the AW flashlight mode isn't very bright, I've already found it useful on several occasions.
