Does Siri do anything?

[Deguello]

Other than telling me to turn on location services, all I ever get is “I’ll tap you...”

She won’t even tell me the weather.

 

[sclawis300]

I initiate calls with Siri all the time.

 

[Deguello]

So what do I need to do to get her to do something other than promise to tap me and never follow through?

 

[james948]

Likewise. I’ll tap you when I’m ready

 

[Speechless]

"I'LL TAP YOU WHEN I'M F*#$!@& READY!"

*taps*

"I can do this on your iPhone"

*uses iPhone*

"Sorry, I can't do that right now. Deal with it"

 

[Newtons Apple]

I use Siri for a lot!

She can start your exercise, add items to your grocery list, set timers . . . . yes works very well for me!

Sometime she will even make me laugh!

 

[Deguello]

She can’t do anything for me except (fail to) tap me later.

I presume she does something for some people. My question is how do I make her do stuff for me.

That usually indicates some sort of problem with her connecting to the internet.

 

[Deguello]

She’s on Wifi and has cellular. Both or either of which are sufficient for Siri to be working on my phone.

But, yeah, connectivity does seem to be the issue everywhere I’ve searched. Maybe time to head to the apple store.

She does that on HomePod too sometimes, even though the internet is working.

Sometimes a restart of the watch gets her going when this happens. Same with HomePod.

 

[Deguello]

Restarted phone twice and watch three times and, for now, Siri is willing to do my bidding again.

I hope she stays that way because the apple store said it was unlikely they could get a replacement any faster than current shipping times. Not sure if true, but fingers crossed it will be moot.

There's a whole bunch of voodoo that fixes it, like restarting, logging out of iCloud and back in, etc...
Shouldn't be so complicated.

Are you having any other connectivity issues with the watch? The only thing I ever use Siri for is setting timers when I cook and I could certainly live without it.

I’m getting calls and notifications. The apps are syncing with the phone. Everything I expected to work was working, except Siri.

I only use her on the watch to send text messages, but it's pretty convenient when you only have one hand free while carrying a briefcase or bag.
