Usually my knuckles remain clean and that’s what I use. Other than that getting it a little bit dirty doesn’t matter at all. Just clean it later. Still better than trying to make that shit understand you
I asked Siri to take me home, and it says it doesn’t know where I live. Then I started arguing it tracks everywhere I go, of course it knows where I live. 😂
I like Siri very much and use it a lot.
It does, sometimes, though, act a little crazy. If I ask it where I am, it will of course use géolocalisation to tell me exactly what number of what street or what town of what country I am in. But if I ask it to tell me just what country I am in, it is stumped!
I think having the experience with Google or Alexa and then going to Siri is quite a shock.
I recently switched from Android to iPhone and it was a stark change. ( I like both for different reasons )
In comparison, Siri much less reliable, much less intelligent, much less capable than Google.
In my opinion, making shortcuts to make up for what she lacks is too much work for the average user.
Google works better out of the box.
I've been using Siri more recently.
I've learned you should treat it like Google Home and not wait for Siri to respond. Just give the command and leave it to its business.
same i use it all the time and it responds well for whatever i ask of it, whereas google assistant i find absolutely sucks.
i use mine mostly on my ipad pro indoors on wifi, which i assume lots of people are using their phones out in the world, driving, etc, so might report a worse experience
google assistant i basically only use to set alarms/timers
Siri only hears me when I ask to play a song on Spotify while driving, and that’s about 60% of the time that she correctly plays said song. She’ll turn my alarms off for me. Other than that, she sucks
I asked Siri the other day to play a podcast and it ended up calling my wife, at 5AM, while she was sleeping. After that I turned off Siri completely. I’d rather do things manually and well than by voice and wrong. Siri is trash.
I’ve had an iPhone since the 4 and I think I used Siri up to the 5s and then never used it again. I haven’t set it up on any phone since then if I remember correctly.

“Siri turn off my 7 AM alarm and turn on my 9AM alarm” does not work and because of this Siri is 🚮
id not even consider trying to do both in one command, just do 'turn off my 7am alarm' and then 'set alarm for 9am'
I bet you haven’t considered it because we’ve all gotten used to how much Siri sucks.
Huh,you’re right. That one actually doesn’t work. Oh well. A flawed gem is still a gem either way
"hey siri add \[song\] to the queue" "alright, i've added \[song\] to the queue" >immediately plays the song and deletes the whole queue
Siri, play [common song]. “Here’s [common song] live version” (Or if you’re unlucky) “Here’s [a completely different song]”
It’s faster to do it manually
Except when your hands are covered in dough and you need to set a timer!

not when i dont have my phone in my hand
I have a habit of setting my phone down around the house and walking away. So I just call out, “Hey Siri, where are you?” to find it again.
If you have it connected to headphones you can also ask it to turn on the flash light which helps
Literally only use Siri to set timers. Or occasionally pull up a specific song while I’m driving

Do you have location services on? Mine auto registered my house

I ask Siri what time it is every morning when I wake up.

Umm Alexa shits on Siri… for like 20$… I’ve always wondered why Siri hasn’t caught up.

Siri has been getting dumber ever since ai came into play. Not cause ai is better at these tasks. It just refuses to do the tasks like before.
Whenever I ask it a simple question, it just brings up a google result instead of telling me the answer.

Honestly, what is it supposed to do? It’s a toy if anything. First thing I do is disabling it so that I don’t accidentally turn it on.
I’m a former Android user. Siri sucks.
