I'm sorry that this is a little off the specified forum but have not had a reply in the general forum.

Google is telling me that gmail is almost full. If I delete photos and attachements from Gmail will that also delete the photo from the photo folder?

Tia

Simple answer.

Try it and see. Test one.

Reinstall all.

Fixed my laggy GMAIL account on fetch.
+ privacy protection turned on ✅

Fast as cheetah now. The modem change “might” have also helped in B3. 🤷🏽

(We’ve chatted about that on a DM, this is just for others who might be looking for a fix 👍🏼)

Tried that with a previous beta but it had no effect.
I just killed Gmail in Mail and put it in Spark.

It should not.
I recently cleaned out one (not mine) and deleting emails (including attachments). All of the photos in Google Photos and on the G-Drive were not affected.
 
What is the exact command you are using? I’ll try it on mine. I’m also running the beta on all of my HomePods.

“Hey Siri, give me my update”

Tells me the weather, my meeting schedule and then, “Here’s the latest News…” at which point, you can give it a choice of news outlets to play. I use Apple News.

But it just stops and doesn’t start the news portion.

Just tried it, and surprisingly it works perfectly for me. It started to play the BBC News and I stopped at that point but it did everything you say it should do. As I say, I am running the latest developer beta on my HomePods so maybe that helps?

Yeah worked for me too. BBC news. Never used that command before, it’s a good one ??

I’m sorry but LOL

In my opinion, that’s giving Siri too much credit. It is nothing more than an embarrassment, a not-fit for purpose screw up from the very first minute Apple took it over. It needs scrapping and building from the ground up with a different team that actually has a clue about what they are doing. It also needs to be far more “run on device“ than calling Apple so often. Apparently it calls home for HomeKit requests, that is just crazy and absolutely unnecessary.

And keeping it on topic, unfortunately on the latest version it is still no better.

It has been years and I still have issues with iCloud Messages. It refuses to delete certain images. The same images do not even appear on device B. It’s so annoying.

Am I really the only one with that? I even tried deleting (as far as I could) all attached images from my Mac, iPhone, iPad and deactivated iCloud Messages for 30 days but made no difference.

The reported iCloud Messages „top conversations“ also differ greatly between devices.

There is also a video on my Mac that I sent to my family months ago and it just refuses to delete in messages yet on my iPad that video does not even appear on iMessage ?‍?

Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one. I keep a message with a brother and sister. There are like 300 pics in there. I can only delete a couple. The rest never will delete.

It shouldn’t but I’d test it on one or 2 first.

"my update" command seems to be working, but Siri is still being a c***. When I ask it to stop or pause, it says, "working on it" and then, "I'm having trouble connecting to the internet" even though it was just playing the music I asked for (after a longer than usual pause to get started).

FYI...my internet is rock solid and really fast...
