Often Siri features are updated on Apple's servers and it is not always
necessary for an iOS update to be released to fix some issue with Siri.
Asking Siri to identify a song also works again for me.

VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good

Adam Cheyer, Co-Founder of Siri
As a startup, when coming up with Siri's name, we wanted something that was
easy to remember, short to type, comfortable to pronounce, and a not-too-common
human
I have run into a problem with Siri using Uber. When I ask Siri to set up a
ride, it tells me that it has not been taught to do that. Two weeks ago it
could.
I spoke with Apple Support, and they duplicated the procedure and got the
same result. Anybody know what is going on?

There have been observations, from time to time, on this list, as to the IQ of

annoying when I ask him a, relatively straightforward question such as "what

he looked it
Yes, he definitely does! Six times now since Christmas my Voice-Over has

Hi.
I only used Siri one time, but when I did, all I did was hold the Home
button down until I heard a tone, then I released the button and told Siri
what I wanted to do. As I said I have only used Siri one time, so it may
not work the way I think.
Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY
Have you tried a reset? Not a reboot, but holding down the home and power
buttons simultaneously for about ten seconds? It ma also be worth going into
Settings Siri and toggling Siri off and back on. I don't personally use the
feature you described, but these are standard troubleshooting steps
I have not tried a reset in the way you described. Is that safe and what is the
difference?
Thanks,

Yes, it is safe. I don't know the technical differences, but it is essentially
a next-level reset. I know some people who perform this routinely, just as a
matter of course, to keep any problems from building up. I don't, personally,
and I save it for only when it is necessary. Either way, it
I had the same problem and the reset worked great for me.

Holding the home and power buttons for 10 seconds is a safe reset. It should
only be used when turning the iOS device off, and then on again does not fix
the problem. When done, iOS will take longer to reboot because it rebuilds the
