Siri hears me right, but calls the wrong person

I guess I could, but I don’t think it’s about pronunciation. Siri writes out what you say, and she writes my wife’s name perfectly. She just calls someone else.

She used to mix up my wife and my step-mother, because they’re close. Sharon and Jason don’t really have the same phonetic structure, and because Siri is writing out what I say correctly, I think there’s a different issue. Also, because saying “Send a text to Sharon” (with our last name), she gets it right, again, implies it’s not a pronunciation thing.

I say, “Call Sharon [LASTNAME]”, it writes out that exact text, then calls Jason (with the same last name). I say, “Text Sharon [LASTNAME]”, it writes that out correctly, and then says, “What do you want to say to Sharon?” And sends her the text, and not my brother.

And it has never been a problem before iOS 13.3. I should have added that. I’m on 13.3.1 beta. I even had to replace my phone, and it’s still doing it, so it isn’t the mic or anything, not that it would be since it writes out what I say perfectly.

Given your post count, I figured it was a joke, but my mis-tap on the email notification that meant I marked this as solved made my post worthless to me now, so I had to post a new one.

Siri actually works really well for me. She and Alexa both have their issues. I find Siri is better with music requests, and Alexa is better with...pretty much everything else.

This one, though, boggles my mind. She clearly understands me. She just then goes rogue and does her own thing. She just does it that way every time.

I didn't mean to mark your answer as solving my problem since it doesn't, but can't see how to unmark it as solved. Dang!

👍

yeah, go for it!

Glad that worked for you! Unfortunately, that's not the setup I'm dealing with, so it won't solve my issue, but you just gave me hope!
