For me it’s the option to individually lock apps.

Where do I start?

  1. If “hey Siri” would actually work

  2. If it would actually search the web when I ask questions it isn’t programmed to know

  3. If I didn’t have to repeat myself 20 times despite teaching it my voice and being 1 foot away from the phone.

Siri is basically a fancy timer setter for me, and even then I use Alexa if I’m in my house because it can do things like “add an extra minute to my timer.”

    I’ve found, I think, that saying “hey Siri” often doesn’t work if I haven’t said it in a while. But not always. It seems it always works when I’m using it over and over for a while.

    Couldn’t agree more on all points.

    • Actually dial who i Siri to dial and not bother my head of devops at 3am instead of my partner. Similarly sounding first names but very distinct surnames, i use the surnames in the request.

    Point 4 though, same setup, no other music apps. I just push my voice button and say “play shut up by stormzy” or the kids might just ask for “play the hamilton soundtrack” and instantly get the playback.

    Only thing I have to hard disagree with is 1)

    I’ve put my phone in so many random places or it’s fallen off my bed or couch after a call (take a lot of conf calls there) that “hey siri” has saved my ass. Before hey siri I actually had to log in to some shady online service to dial my phone.
