Annoying problem with Siri and location reminders

[martin2345uk]

Hi all

When I say to Siri something like "Remind me to do xxxxx when I get home" it comes back with this message:

"Before I can do that, you'll need to enable Reminders on your iPhone's location services"

So I tap the link Siri handily provides into Location Services, find Reminders and change it from 'Never' to 'when using the app.'

I then try again asking Siri the same thing. He comes back with:

"Before I can do that, you'll need to enable Reminders on your iPhone's location services"

I go into settings and sure enough Reminders has changed back to 'Never'. Rinse & repeat.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some other setting I need to be enabling to stop it changing back to 'Never'..?

Thanks!

I believe you actually need to enable the Location-Based Alerts setting under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.

You sir are a genius! Thank you! Would be useful if Siri actually said this!
