watchOS 5 - Raise to Speak to Siri

[jas07]

Has anyone worked out how to do this? Seems enabled in settings but not working for me? Using 'Hey Siri' works fine but not without.

 

[KarimLeVallois]

Yeah, I can’t get it to work either

If you raise the watch up near your mouth from your side or while sitting and speak to the watch it works. The screen turns on and then Siri shows up.

same here, raise to speak is on, nothing happens, even tried turning off 'hey siri' but still the same.

So we can all agree that this functionality is not yet working - obviously a future beta release!

 

[StumpyBloke]

Yup not working for me either.

What if you are speaking to someone in person and you ask them a question. Right before you ask, you raise your watch to see what time it is. Does Siri take it as if you have asked her?

Not working for me either.

tbh i thought we already had this, although i disabled Siri in everything.....

watchOS 5 beta 2 on serie-3 and not working...

But where do you check if raise to speak is on ?

 

[jas07]

On the watch it’s in Settings > General > Siri

But it’s still not functional for me on Beta 2 on LTE Series 3 either.

In wOS 4 you MUST say Hey Siri. In wOS 5 you don't have to say Hey Siri. You just start talking.

wOS 4: Hey Siri what is the weather like?
wOS 5 What is the weather like?

Good news everyone - It’s now working in the latest beta release

How does it work ?
When You raise the watch how do you know if Siri is ready to listening ?

When you raise the watch it is listening and so you simply ask your question ‘what time is it in Moscow’

It suddenly started working for me in beta 2 also. First when I tested I couldnt get it to work, but yesterday I triggered it by accident and since then it kept on working flawlessly. Very handy feature!

How weird - could it be enabled in the back end by Apple may be not a new beta release item

 

[Donkichot]

It’s very buggy for me...
Does not Work every time I raise the watch...

- Apple Watch serie-3 GPS
- iPhone 8.
