I want Siri to stop saying Uh-Huh and Um-Hmm when I say, “Hey Siri.”

I purchased an Iphone 12 and now Siri says Uh-Hun. How can I get Siri to say "Yes" instead?

When I call for Sir and say from now on, call me Kris, Siri does confirm the new name. I agree. Then when I say "Hey Siri", Siri give the usual un-huh.


Do you have any other suggestions?

Open Siri by pressing and holding the Home button. Say "From now on, call me John Doe." Siri will confirm the new name for you. This will change the "nickname" entry on your personal contact. Then simply say; Hey Siri!


With an 11 or newer, just say "Hey Siri", and when the genie pops out of the bottle, say "from now on, call me........"
