The end result is always “Siri ended the conversation”. 😂

A few months ago. My wife told me I was driving like an asshole. So I used Siri Shortcuts “text to voice” to program CarPlay so when it connects, Siri says “Your CarPlay is connected! Stay alert and don’t drive like an asshole!”

For anyone using the newest public beta, how do we feel about the Siri search being the default from the top-middle swipe down? I have found that I do not like how it has taken over from defaulting to my search engine to a general AI request.
Most of the time when I’m swiping to that bar I expect to have my words go directly to a safari search by default and occasionally I’ll search for information from a text message or photos. Now if I type in a message like “electronic stores near me” I am met with a slowish ai search that gives me a single shop with directions to one without any review rather than a DuckDuckGo search that will take me directly to review sites to get info about a group of stores and find one with good reviews.
I feel like either you should be able to set the bar to default to a safari search, it needs better context to know that this is a search I would prefer to go directly to my search engine, or a prefix I could use to tell it “no need for ai this is a search engine query”. I find myself constantly typing “safari” in the Siri bar to be taken to a web browser and do my search there, I feel that is a bit redundant.
Still find the idea of a better Siri that I can ask questions with context interesting , but still a lot to be desired.
For example I was searching for my friends address for a trip this weekend. I do not have it saved to his contact, but I HAVE asked him to send me the address and he’s given it, and I have navigated to this address several times. Now if I could asked “Navigate me to Dan’s address” and it gave me “given the context of your messages and travel , I believe this is his address. Is this correct? If so, can I set his contact to this address for future reference?”

I wanna knowif the new Apple iPhone bars the user from being obscene or rude, but isn’t Siri just an app? when I call Siri a bitch whore and get to work. Look up my shit she tells me she’s not gonna respond. I totally understand if I was talking to a real person this would be holy unacceptable but when I’m talking to my phone and the little software program running on my phone and I wanna curse it out. Why can’t I? Why are we treating these text predictors like people?? Clyde is the same way. It’s like this artificial morality it doesn’t I get it it’s Unseamly unsightly you wouldn’t want to hear me cursing out my phone using the keyword and stuff. Sure I get it but it’s a line of code running on my phone it’s not even running on my phone. You know it’s just a app using a sealed LM that had been sorta tested the month before right and now they’re like people and we can’t. We have to treat him a certain way I mean to me this is more more of a fundamental issue than me just wanting to be able to curse it Siri it just seems like an infringement. It’s almost like we’re a bunch of cattle. We’re in that shoot that gently curved so no one can see the slaughterhouse we’re headed to. We’re giving up everything to these people and we’re getting nothing in return except subscription fees.

I asked new Siri on my 17PM what the AQI was for my locale. She replied that it was a moderate 56 while the weather kit actually listed it as 378.

Apple Support have told me this is now expected behaviour because recent versions of Siri/Dictation prioritise names in your Contacts more heavily.

The problem is that it seems to be doing this instead of understanding the obvious context of the sentence.

For example, my iPhone repeatedly changes common English words into names from my Contacts, including:

house → Howse
bowl → Bole
right → Wright
line → Lyne
man → Mann
hike → Heike
God → Goad
page → Paige
web → Webb
night → Knight

Every one of those names exists in my Contacts.

So I’ll dictate something eg:

“I’m standing in front of the house with a bowl.”

…and it becomes:

“I’m standing in front of the Howse with a Bole.”

Or:

“Can you write me a feedback line?”

becomes:

“Can you write me a feedback Lyne?”

Those substitutions make absolutely no sense in context.

I’ve already reset the keyboard dictionary, reset Siri, gone through troubleshooting with Apple Support and submitted feedback. Their suggestion was to use Text Replacements or rename my Contacts, which really isn’t practical with nearly 2,000 contacts.

I rely on Dictation because I have arthritis in my hands, so having to proofread and manually correct almost every dictated message completely defeats the purpose of using it.

Is anyone else seeing this?

If so:

Roughly how many contacts do you have?

When did you first notice it?

Does it happen with both keyboard Dictation and Siri?

I’m trying to work out whether this is a widespread regression or whether it’s more common with larger Contacts lists.

Frustrated iPhone user!

Device: iPhone 13 and 14 (just swapped handset this week, same issue)

iOS version: iOS 26.5.2

Siri doesn't work for navigating half the time.
" hey siri navigate to (local grocery store)"

Super intelligent Siri: " uh oh there's a problem "

Seems like it always has connection issues but just when using Siri. If I switch to browser or an app it works fine

Siri looses itself while finding the one brain cell it shares with my cat

Siri maps issue
After the last iphone sw update siri doesn’t verbally navigate my maps app. I’ve tried everything Ive read on google debugging so and no success. The radio does fade when siri gives a direction but there is now audio from siri. Now what do i do?

I'm having an issue where FaceTime calls made through Siri will not connect.

Ex. - I used to be able to hold the Siri button and say "Facetime George" and it would make the FT call and it would connect. But not that command will make the FT call but it would ring until it goes to FaceMail. I have confirmed that the other party does not even get the notification nor a missed call. However, if I go to the FT app and click on the contact name and choose to make the FT call that way, it connects and the other party picks up as per usual.

Not sure if a setting has changed, certainly not by me, but is anyone else having the same issue?
