Siri searches information on baidu

Hello Alena,

No problem! Thanks for confirming those steps didn't have any effect. While having a carrier with specific features enabled/disabled on their end, it could change some of the settings, but not the default search engine for Safari. Let's continue ruling out some other possible causes:

1. You mentioned already making sure your default search engine is set to Google, but let us know which your region/language your iPhone is set to within Settings > General > Language & Region.
2. Please check if the settings show correctly within Settings > General > Date & Time.
3. Let's rule out being outdated for your carrier settings: Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad
4. If you have the Baidu app installed on your iPhone, let us know what happens when you delete it.

Please keep us posted on what you find out, and have a good one.

Hi Joseph,

I did the same settings to both of my phones, either was bought in Australia and the other is an iPhone 12 pro which was purchased in China. The one I purchased in Australia does not have this ‘Baidu’ issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️ So.. what could be the problem?

Hey there Alena,

We'd like to help get your preferred search engine working right, so let's rule out some possible causes:

1. As you have an iPhone, the latest version is iOS 14.2. You can check the version by going to Settings > General > About.
2. If you already have iOS 14.2 installed, please let us know if restarting changes anything.
3. Have you already tried clearing Safari history and website data? If not, please close Safari, then go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.

We hope to hear from you soon. Take care!
