I do not like it, when Siri says, do you want me to ask Chat GPT. Usually, I just say no and do not get anything, but so far, Chat GPT is batting 0. I am absolutely totally and completely unimpressed with it. It told me KBR stock was $46; Google said $50. So far, Google has a way, way better history with me than Chat does.

Also, sometimes if I just leave it alone it does seem to work again later. The point is it is super annoying and I would say currently Siri is about as bad as it has been for a very long time except of course it is supposed the best it has ever been. Apple is really dropping the ball with this Apple Intelligence stuff and it is disappointing. I am definitely sorry I bought a new iPhone 16 Pro for myself and a 16 for my wife; we should have kept our iPhone 13 Pro and just had new batteries put in.

A couple days ago I could use Siri to open apps, dictate, etc. Today it is not working at all. I held the side button and asked Siri to open several different apps, it just paused and made the tone that usually would indicate it was done, but the screen never changed. No apps opened.

Ever since iOS 18.4 it seems Siri often just won’t work. I have an iPhone 16 Pro and here are two examples: 1. I press and hold the side button to bring up Siri, then I say something like “Call John Smith” or “Open Messages”, it doesn’t really matter what it is. Result: I hear a tone and then I am back at the home screen and Siri does nothing. 2. I am in Messages or another app where I want to use dictation, let’s use Messages as the example. I am in a conversation and I am in the edit field and I do a 2-finger double tap to start dictation and I hear the beep and speak my text, then do a 2-finger double tap again to stop. Result: It goes back to the edit field and no text has been entered. Usually if I reboot my iPhone it works for a while, but this happens often and it’s a pain in the neck.
