Q: What have you done to Siri with the latest update?

When I ask Siri - "Hey Siri Call Cheryl," she now says - "Okay I'll remind you!" She started doing this after the latest update! My understanding is that now Siri can say Streisand correctly (Who cares about being able to say anything correctly??? She can't say a lot of things correctly). I want her to understand what I ask her to do!!!

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.5

    1. This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here.  We as users have not done anything to Siri.

     

    2. Asking Siri to call anyone, including Cheryl works fine for me.

     

    3. Are you sure you are not saying anything else, o any background noise that may be confusing her?

     

    4. Have you tried to with other requests to Siir?

    I have spoken very clearly, asking to call my wife! I have not done anything different (i.e. location, background noise). everything is the same. The only problem she has is calling my wife. When I ask her to call my wife the text at the top of the phone shows - "Hey Siri call Cheryl C Mobile". Her response is "Okay I'll Remind You"!!! Siri has even answered when Cookie Monster asked her to play his waiting playlist on a TV commercial.

    Make sure that Cheryl is still in your contacts. When you ask to call someone who is not in your contacts Siri will instead set a reminder.

    She is my wife and yes she is still in my contacts! I changed what I said to just her last name. Siri replied which one you have nine in your contacts. I told her Cheryl mobile and she told me her mobile number!

    What happens if you just request her to call Cheryl without specifying the C or mobile?

     

    Does it work?
