I have the updated supposed to be smarter Siri. But when I dictate and ask Siri to send a text, he’ll say, “What do you want to say to…?” I’ll dictate what I want to say and then there’s nothing. I know the message wasn’t sent because I did not turn on the automatically send. I’m about to turn off this intelligence thing and maybe my dictating texts will work as it did before. Thanks for thoughts and suggestions. I guess there is now a different way with dictating texts.

New SIRI
I am running iOS 27.2 developer beta two. I just tested it and had no problems. I had a lot of problems with the new Siri in the public release. Maybe this will be fixed for you when the next iOS software update comes out
"something went wrong" at the top of the screen.
Hi, Scott,
This is an issue I've been having with the 27.0 public release. Randomly, Siri will just say "something went wrong." This wouldn't be the end of the world, except that it stays at the top of my screen and dictation stops working. The only way to fix it is to open the Siri app.
Is this an issue in the beta that you know of?
Thanks, I'm thinking about updating to beta as this is really pissing me off lol.
Use the home gesture
The home gesture will dismiss Siri from the top of the screen. You can also hold the side button and say "goodbye." I believe the Z scrub gesture might work as well, but I'm not entirely sure.
Other issue with Siri.
Just asked Siri to do some addition for me and nothing happened. Then I said, "Are you there?" and he said he was listening but did not answer. So now I'll ask how to get out of this beta thing? Thanks.
SiriAI
now that you mention it, i am having the same problem, but for me, it's hit and miss. I'll write a feedback report about this. i am on the beta. there's a way to submit bug reports through the feedback assistant , app without beta testing. i don't know what that is. maybe someone can chime in? I find personally, that's the best way to tell Apple about bugs.
Same thing happens to me
The same thing happens to me. Sometimes the text will automatically send, and then other times, I can read the siri prompt in that banner thing on top of the screen and then i have to tap on the "Ok" button to send the message. This is is confusing because sometimes messages automatically send and other times they don't.
Re: "something went wrong" at the top of the screen.
It is working much better in the beta. It’s probably not perfect, but there have been improvements, especially with Siri being able to open apps much faster in the beta.
Re: Other issue with Siri.
To get out of the Siri beta go to settings and then Siri settings at the end of Siri settings there is an option to turn off Siri. Turn Siri off, then reopen your Siri settings and there should be an option for use classic Siri or try the beta double tap on classic Siri and follow the prompts to set it back up.
Figured out my issue.
Before, I could hold the side button, ask Siri my question, he would answer, ask for a response, and I could just answer. Well now I figured out that with each response, you have to hold the side button while responding or asking a question. So for example, you say "Send message to so-and-so, Siri asks what do you want to say, you hold the side button and answer, Siri confirms your answer and asks if you want to send it, hold side button and reply. I can't believe I was unable to figure that out sooner! So I hope that's helpful.
It’s always been that way for me
It’s always been that way for me. But then again my devices don’t get the new series so I guess there could be something different with that. So if that didn’t seem very helpful I just kind of realized that after I was writing this that maybe it’s different with you. Hey it’s all good. You figure it out whenever you figure it out. What matters is you got to figuring it out. Happens whenever it happens for us I think. It’s all good.
conversation
If you ask siri or hey siri you do not need to do so. Also if I press side button I do not need to do it again, she listen until I say good bye. I think there is a setting for that but do not recall. Perhaps on setting, siri and respond. Did so even before so call AI siri. I do not like that when you ask for a place she gives you a list and you have to remember which you want to call. Like when she gave you one and ask you if you wanted it, and when you said no, she went to the next.
