Help! Siri keeps texting "null"

[lowercaseperson]

Hi all,

Since I updated my iPhone 6 64 GB to iOS10 most everything is running fine, except Siri texting one of my contacts.

When I have Siri text my wife it looks right on the Siri screen, but then when I go back into messages, the text is sent to "null." I have searched my contacts for "null" and there isn't one. I haven't changed my wife's contact info and there is only one number listed under her name. Another tidbit here is that if I try to text her via Siri with my Apple Watch Siri asks which number to use, but then only gives me one option "mobile." If I send the text to my wife's "mobile" number on the Apple Watch via Siri it still goes to "null."

I can text anyone else in my contacts with Siri and it works correctly, just not my wife - the one I use the most. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

LP

Sounds like Siri doesn't know who your wife is. Go to your contact record and check if spouse is defined there.

I only ever refer to her as her full name. Never as "wife" or just her first name.

Try recreating her contact record.

Siri is jealous and has "nulled" your wife.
