Re: using siri to locate and call places
I think sometimes Siri has a brain blowout. I've had this happen in this upgrade and in nine.

Re: using siri to locate and call places
I had heard that if you turn Siri off, you sort of have to start over with him. Whatever he learns, is gone or so I understood. But maybe I'll try this. Can't hurt I guess.

RE: using siri to locate and call places
This has happened to me from time to time, SIRI sometimes just goes bananas, but you may want to try and turn SIRI off and then back on. After I updated to the current iOS 10 release SIRI often did completely stupid stuff. For example, I would ask SIRI to call somebody in my contact list. SIRI wold ask me if I wanted to call their work or mobile number. I would say "Mobile" and SIRI would say Calling so and so mobile, then a moment later it would say "Sorry, I can find so and so in your contacts" or "Sorry, I can't make that call for you". In other words it found the person and asked if I wanted to call their mobile or work and then said it couldn't find that person. After I turned SIRI off and back on it all seems to work much better (at least so far) and I tried it successfully with a few people where before I always said it couldn't make that call for me.

Re: using siri to locate and call places
Hi Jim, I do not have a solution, but for me the behavior you are reporting has been the same for a long time. In other words, it did not start with iOS 10. And yes, it is very frustrating. Google works wonderfully in this situation.
