I have updated to ios16 and it changed the pronunciation of my last name when Siri says it. I have tried adding “pronunciation last name” to my wife’s contact and it still says the name wrong. It said the name correctly before ios16 even without any pronunciation added to my wife’s contact. Any solution?

Hey there skeetoaz,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Just to confirm, have you added a pronunciation using the steps listed below from the following resource: Tell Siri about yourself on iPhone - Apple Support (MN)
Tell Siri how to say your name
1. Open Contacts, then tap your contact card.
2. Tap Edit, scroll down and tap “add field,” select a pronunciation name field, then type how to say your name.
You can also add a pronunciation for any other contact card in Contacts. See Edit contacts on iPhone.
If so, since adding the pronunciation, have you tried restarting your iPhone? If not, give that a try with the steps in this next resource here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, or 13
1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
While restarting may seem like a simple step, it can often help with resolving some unexpected issues like this.
Keep us updated on the results.
Take care!
