    If Siri has problems recognizing the pronunciation of names, you can teach it via Siri commands, or by entering Pronunciation and/or Phonetic description in your Contacts app.

    That is not the issue.  The issue is you say Hey Siri look up directions to xyz....Siri says I find XYZ on blah road in blah city, is this the one....you say yes...Siri says would you like me to look up directions or call?  I say call  Siri says call who?  Now since Siri just asked if I wanted to call should she do that!?!?!  If I answer directions then she pulls up a map with directions.  But if I say call...Siri asks call who?  If i give the name of the place she jsut looked up she says that name is not in your contact.


    FYI-my software version is 9.3.2 not what is listed on original post...no clue where is got that info

     

    Also a times Siri ignores me saying Hey Siri
