Siri refuses to set alarm or timer on my iPhone and iPads as of yesterday
As of yesterday (first I noticed, anyway), when I say to Siri "set alarm for 4:30 PM" or "set timer for 20 minutes," I'm getting error replies such as:
"Uh oh, there's a problem. Please try again."
"Sorry, [my name], there's something wrong. Please try again."
"[my name], we've had a problem. Please try again."
However, other Siri functions are working. It will tell me the current temperature where I live or what year Ringo Starr was born, and it will open an app for me. If I manually set an alarm and then ask, "what time is my alarm," it will tell me. It will also delete that alarm, but only if I reference it specifically. I can no longer say "delete all my alarms" (which has always worked before) without getting an error reply.
This is happening on my iPhone 5s (using AT&T data), my iPad Air (WiFi) and my iPad Air 2 (WiFi), so the problem is not device-specific, nor has it to do with connection to the Internet. All are using iOS 10.3.1, so I suppose it's possible that Apple has broken something for me.
I'm mystified that I'm not finding anything about this when I do a Google search. Either I'm the only person who tells Siri to set an alarm, or I'm the only person having this problem. 🤔
Anyone else?
