Siri says uhhuh instead of yes

I have the same issue. Siri’s response is rude! It dramatically changes the quality of the relationship with Siri. How can you feel good interacting with someone who is blatantly disrespectful. Apple needs to modify its software!

You do understand, don't you, that Siri is not a "someone". Siri is a computer program.

if you want Apple to know how you feel, use the feedback page:

Ever since i moved to the iPhone 11I have had all kinds of issues with Siri.

Her attitude, not completing the easiest of commands and Siri says “Uh huh”  instead of yes.

It's really annoying, rude and in extremely disrespectful.

Siri is not a person. Siri is not capable of having an "attitude".

ome on Apple this is unacceptable!

If you want Apple to know how you feel about how they program their hardware, you can let them know here:

Product Feedback - Apple

You can want whatever you want. You can tell Apple what you want here:

Product Feedback - Apple

However, until such time as Apple decides they agree with you, you can avoid hearing "uh huh" by using "Hey Siri..." the way Apple has currently designed it. Or not. It's entirely up to you.

Did you try this suggestion from earlier in this thread?:

We all learned to say "Hey, Siri..." and then wait. The newer, faster phones don't require that pause. If you just say, "Hey, Siri, what time is it?" at a normal pace, all you'll get is the answer to your questions. [Source]

Apple, please change Siri’s response when you ‘call’ her initially. The current ‘uh huh’ is super disrespectful. It would be nice to have an option to change this.

Siri has become absolutely annoying. The reply to “ hey Siri” is “mmmm-hmmm?” Why not “yes?”

You can avoid hearing that at all if you don't pause between "Hey, Siri...." and your request.

You guys are getting way too fancy. Stick to yes, no, keep it simple. Your product is becoming annoying.

No one here in these forums has anything to do with it. If you want Apple, who is not reading here for suggestions, to know your thoughts, use the feedback page:

So, first of all... when she says UhHuh it’s like in the most disrespectful tone. It’s as if she doesn’t care what I am going to ask lol

I teach my kids to reply with yes! Instead of uhhuh... and this is a huge pet peeve for me!

Also, as a professional I expect Siri to preform as an assistant if I need anything, she would be fired with this attitude.

Then you should tell Apple what you'd like to see:

Product Feedback - Apple

Meanwhile, you can avoid hearing "uh huh" if you don't pause between "Hey, Siri....." and the rest of your question.

Apple are not here to address your dislikes.

You have been given the route to ask Apple to change Siri’s vocabulary

Here it is again

I have always thought that Siri should be polite - please, thank you, your welcome. I accepted its lack of civility as just being a machine. Now, this Unhunh is really offensive.. This is a literal civil war and I am trying to unplug Siri.

You should tell Apple, rather than just us, your fellow users:

Product Feedback - Apple

Meanwhile, if you don't pause between "Hey Siri...." and your question, you'll never hear the "uh huh?".

I just demand a certain level of respect with my electronic assistants and this attitude is just way too millennial for me - respect come on respect!

You can demand of Siri all you want. It will contnue to respond the way it's programmed. You can let Apple know you'd like to see something different here:

Product Feedback - Apple

And, until Apple might make a change, you can learn to use Siri in the way it's intended and not pause between "Hey, Siri..." and your question. If you do that, you'll never hear the "un huh?".

My iPhone doesn't do this. With my iPhone, a brief tone is played that tells you that Siri hears you and is ready to respond. Apparently only Mac users get the pleasure of having Siri say uh-huh to them.

Older phones like the iphone 7 do not do the uh-huh. You need a top end iphone to be offended

Hey Apple! Please get rid of the uh-huh with the next update.

Apple do not read this forum. Put in a Feature request to Apple

Correct. "Huh" cannot be heard as well in addition to being unintelligent use of language. It should be fixed. People with bad language skills shouldn't be doing user interface design.

No one here can change it. Let Apple know your thoughts here:

Product Feedback - Apple

I'm sure they have been waiting with suspense since September 28, 2020 for you to announce this.

As far as sending feedback on this since you are in the iPhone forum you would go here -> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Then wait until iOS 14.5 is released and see if they changed it.
