iOS and iPadOS

Post Date:

Hello,
Thank you for reading my post.
I've recently upgraded to an iPhone 10S. I'm a voiceover user, and when I press the side button to start siri (like I did in pressing the home button on my iPhone 7), siri comes up but I'm given the option to "type to siri".
What am I doing wrong? I've tried to find settings to change in keyboard and in siri and search, but no joy. "Hey Siri" seems to be working fine, and the dictate function in messages etc is there with the dictate button at the bottom right.

Hi all,
Siri is not reading dates and times when I ask about reminders. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I know I can go in reminders and VO will read this. But just wondered why Siri doesn't read all the information. He just tells me what reminders I have without reading the dates and times. Thanks.

I am using iOS 13.4.1 on my iPhone XR.

Suddenly SIRI doesn't seem to be recognizing names in my contacts list when I try to send a message.

For example I will say something like "send a text mesage to John Doe". SIRI will respond with "I don't see any John Doe in your contacts", even though John Doe is in my contacts.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, is there a recommended fix?

I tried backing up to the cloud in case that was the issue, but no luck.

Thanks.

Ok before ios upgrade when you asked to hear last email, after it finished siri asks you if you want to reply. I woulld say yes and then it would give me the reply screen and ask me what I wanted to say. Now instead it asks me who do I want to send the email to and visually puts you in the to field. I have 5s . Does thhis still happen with 6? I also have voiceover on.

Over the last week I cant get Siri to recognize anything I say on my iPhone 6s. It is running the latest software update.
Anybody else experiencing this issue?

For about a month, I have had a problem with Siri repeating a message twice when she asks me to confirm the message in question.
I could for example call Siri by:
"Send SMS to John Doe, Testing testing."
And her reply will be:
"Your message to John Doe is Testing testing. Your message to John Doe is Testing testing. Do you want me to send it?"
The repeating of the messages can become an issue if the messages are quite long, and especially if I'm in a hurry.

I just bought a pay as you go plan from T-Mobile this past Friday, and on the way home I tried to have siri turn voiceover on because I had turned it off in the store so the phone would be easier for the store employees to use, then this afternoon I took the phone on a short outing and tried to get siri to open a few aps and on both occasions siri told me that she was having trouble with the connection and to try again later.

Hi. I have an ipad with the latest version of Ios. on it. Sometimes, I ask Siri to play a certain song by an artist. Normally she'd ablidge and play just that 1 song. But today, I asked her to play a song by an artist that I had album(s( from. Instead of just playing that 1 song, Siri played all the songs from the album along with that song I asked for!
Why is it doing this? I looked for a setting to make her stop, but I found none. Is there a setting to make her go back to playing just the song I asked her to play?
Thanks in advance for all help received!

My wife is using anIphone 7+. Siri is no longer working. She is using Ios 13.4.1. When she asks Siri to open any app, she gets "something went wrong". She has shutdown and restarted several times. Sometimes this fixes the problem, but it only helps temporarily or not at all.
Any suggestions will be welcome. I have checked the settings in Siri but there doesn't seem to be any thing to change or reset.

For some reason when I go in to contacts to set my relationship status on a contact when I tell siri to text my girlfriend even after I set the relationship status in contacts it still acts like it doesn't know who my girlfriend is why is that happening and is there a way to fix that?

How do ou get Siri to put a period in a text message? I can get it to put in the question mark, comma, exclamation point, but not the period. Also, how to you get Siri to put in an email address in a message? I am using an iPhone 7 with the latest version of IOS 10.

Ever since the last iOS update, Siri randomly stops working. When I press and hold the Home button, there is no sound indicating that she’s activated and she won’t respond to my commands. I have some functional vision, so it looks like the little round icon thing appears, but there is no visual indication either that any sound is being processed.

Anyone else having this issue and is there a workaround?

Using IOS 16 and voiceover. If I ask Siri for todays baseball schedule and want to scroll through them one at a time, instead of Siri reading them all, I can no longer go from one game to another using a one finger swipe left or right gesture.

Hey everyone,

I have an iPhone 6 and just recently my Siri has started saying before asking for the next step, such as you say “send a text” before asking who you want to send it to she says “sorry there was a problem with the App” - If anyone knows how to fix this issue please comment. Thank you!

Hi all. i have an iPhone8+ and a strange issue. When I have my BARD app open, I mute sounds and turn off speech as to eliminate notifications. Anyway all of a sudden I hear this phrase, Siri search. It happens when I press home as it to get to the messages. If I swipe left, it says search field, but when i double tap nothing happens. I then see dictate, the messages, calendar, blah blah. so is there a way of getting rid of it? It makes me nuts. Thanks for any help. Oh and the version is 13.5

I use Siri shortcuts for mostly music. I have multiple stations with in either Tunein or Pandora. When I play a Tunein station with Siri and give it the phrase, it plays it. However, when I play another Tunein station that I gave another phrase too, it plays the station that I just played instead of what station I want it to play. I'm running the latest version of iOS. Help, please!

About this time last Year, Thomas Donville produced some excellent podcasts about SIRI Shortcuts. I listened, became enthralled and, as a programmer forced to retire through sight loss, got a new, fantastic lease of life. Since then, I have written over 200 shortcuts and, although challenging, I have enjoyed it. The effort involved, as I am totally blind, has been tremendous and I have worked many 20-hour days. However, since IOS 13 came out, shortcuts, for me, is broken! There are lots of bugs in the app with Voice Over not reading page elements.

What Siri shortcuts are available for use witht the Voice Dream Reader app? Also, is it possible to create custom shortcuts for performing functions within the app?

thanks.
