This hits on my frustration since upgrading to 16.x. I find that Siri no longer recognizes commands I've been using for years - -or it takes a couple tries to get it right. It's really frustrating. I already reported to them that I have trouble hearing the tone that indicates Siri is listening. When I'm in a car or anywhere with some background noise, I cannot tell if she's started listening. Apple accessibility said they forwarded my concern on, since there is currently no way to change those tones.

I think Siri recognizes "dial" such and such a person. Even so, I've had to change names in my contacts before because even if I only have one Michael, Siri sometimes comes up with a short list of other names completely unrelated. I find that most annoying too.

When I ask Siri to call someone she asks”What do you want to know about ’someone’?” I resist the urge to say, “I want to know why you don’t understand me, you …” I just say “CALL someone and she does. Annoying but an easy work around. Thomas Frank [email protected] > On Nov 30, 2022, at 10:01 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Yeah Siri gets quite a blot of that stuff screwed up since 16.
