Hi, I just came across this bug. Does anyone know a fix?
I ask Siri if she knows who my father is, she lists him. Perfect match. Then I ask her to call father or call dad and she asks what is my father’s name...
I made even a video but I can’t upload here.
iPhone 6s, iOS 13
Hey there Jegesmacko,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues using Siri to call your father. I’ll be happy to help.
Go into your contact card in the Contacts app. Tap Edit then tap ‘add related name’ change it to father and tap the small i to the right. Choose his contact card and save this.
You can read more about how to do this here:
Restart your iPhone after this and try having Siri call your dad.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Let me know if that helps.

Hey there Jegesmacko,
If that didn’t work, try backing up your iPhone and reinstalling iOS using the steps from these links:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue continues after that, you may want to reach out to Apple Support so they can look into this with you:

Hi Sterling,
thanks for your reply.
unfortunately it didn’t work. I had them already there, so first I removed them and added as fresh + restarted the phone. Still the issue is the same.
But the strange thing is that Siri does know if I ask her who is my father (as example, because the same happens for all my relatives).
If I would have an address or Apple ID, I could send a video of that (captured already how it behaved)
”Brumm” :)
Siri can’t call my dad (or father)
