iOS 9 GM Siri

[JFazYankees]

Just updated to iOS 9 GM from 8.4 and noticed Siri no longer beeps. Is this normal or a bugged installation?

Same here, she dings on my iPad Air 2 but not my iPhone 6+

Are they both on the GM?

Yeah they both are on iOS 9 GM. Both have a clean install.

That's incredibly strange! Maybe just a bug with the 6 Plus (that's what I'm using as well)?

I've reinstalled on my iPhone 6+ and did a clean install multiple times. It comes up the same everytime. So it might be a feature for some reason.

I couldn't see them making it work differently from one device to the next. This is really odd.

Are they both not on silent with volume turned up?

Yeah, ringer on, all volumes up.

 

[DMaki650]

Full volume and not on silent. I checked quite a few times.

It's by design since early iOS 9 betas. While your phone is in hand and you activate Siri via the home button it doesn't ding, you get two quick taps instead (vibration.) The logical reason is to be less obtrusive while out in public and since it's in your hand anyways. The reason your iPad still dings is because iPads don't have vibration.

On the phone, Siri will still ding if you use "hey Siri" when it's plugged in or on car Bluetooth. Since it's probably not in hand in those situations and wouldn't feel the two quick taps.

It's happening on my iPhone 6 too.

This was done on purpose apparently. It happened in beta 2 I believe.

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation!

Wholly crap I totally forgot about this. LOL wow I was having a brain fart. LOL Thanks

Side note since being in the car was mentioned, do you guys allow Siri from the lock screen? I leave this off so Siri and Hey Siri have been less useful when traveling.

Same case here. Ding on iPad Air, no ding on iPhone 6. There's just a small vibration when I enable Siri on my iPhone 6.

I explained why about 5 posts up.

Ah, I missed that. Thanks.

There's actually a new setting in Siri settings to have Siri reply with his/her voice depending on your mute switch as well as if you're on Bluetooth (as before). I don't know if this affects the Siri activation tone.
