I set the Name of my Wife in Contact, and as well tell Siri "XXX is my Wife". When I repeat "XXX is my Wife", Siri confirm "I already know that". When I say "Call my wife" or "Text my wife", Siri still ask "Who is your wifes name". I deleted the configuration, set it again, still not working. I really did not find the cause. Any ideas?
Using iPhone XR with the latest iOS
iPhone X
Try these:
Try "Hey Siri, call my wife"

This leads me to assume that there may be a profile installed by your organisation / corporate / school management on your device.
Watch the GIF below
Ok in that case can you please check if you have added your wife's name more than once in your Contact list.
When you ask Siri, who is my Wife? does she show the Contact details?
This just a demo. I don't have two wives!
So please search for any errors in the contact list.
I would try to crack this in this manner. See the pic below.
I am not sure where have you added your wife's name.
I have Added a custom label called Wife and chose my Wife's Contact detail from my Contact list.
I had done this under My Card
It works fine. (My wife has 4 phone numbers, before dialling Siri provides all the phone numbers and prompts me to choose one. That's it.
Please check the contact details that you have picked is from your default email Account. That may be an issue because contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
Settings > Contacts > Default Account
Like I described, there are two ways to add the Wifes name:
a) Tell Siri "XXX is my Wife" and Siri will add this to your card in contacts
b) Choose your Contact Details, choose Pre-defined Label "Wife" and add the right Contact Card to it.
Both I did. And like I described, when I ask "Siri, who is my Wife", it show my the right Contact. But when I say "Hey Siri, call my wife", Siri did not know who my wife is.
Usually it SHOULD work, but in my case it is not. The question is, what can cause this error.
Something like Settings -> Contacts -> Default Account did not exists. You mean Settings -> Contact -> My Info and that is set correctly.

No, not just profile is installed. It cannot, its my personal phone. Your setup showing multiple accounts. In this case, you have to define a Default Account. If you only have one Account, no Default is required to set and the option is not shown.
Hi,
Good thought, but she is only once in the Contact list.
The command "Hey, Siri - who is my wife" show the contact on the screen. The command "Hey, Siri - call my wife" ask, who is my wife.
After I delete the Contact and I add it again (the same way) and reboot the phone, it was working. Thanks for the help.
Frank
I have this problem too. Did you manage to solve it? Everything worked great until few weeks ago. I think some iOS updated broke this :/

teach siri how to pronounce it.
siri" sorry i cant learn new names now"

Siri know my wifes name, but did not call her
