Finally. It has been, for the last ten years, almost exclusively useless.
“Hey Siri, what is the weather like right now?”
“I’m sorry. You’ll have to unlock your phone for that. “ it says from across the room, as I’m looking at what clothes I should wear for whatever weather it is.
“You are such a fucking waste of electricity. I don’t even know why I keep trying to use you.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t respond to that. “
“You never do anyway, so no change there!”
For those who might not know:
Settings > Face ID & passcode > allow access when locked >
Enable “Siri” and you will never have that problem because of the phone being locked.
Yes. That is turned on for me, or else it wouldn’t have answered in the first place.
The issue is that instead of looking at either the integrated weather app, or the CARROT weather app that I mainly use, it wants to try and look it up on safari.
The biggest issue about Siri for me has always been that it is inconsistent as fuck about they way you ask it things.
I swear. One moment, “Play my radio station” works, and the next day it says, “I’m sorry. I can’t do that right now. “ or the weather request earlier.
