When I ask Siri to turn off the sound on my phone she states she is having trouble finding the available languages and consequently does not turn the sound off. How can this be remedied?

Hi Tktccc6,

Welcome to the Apple Community


Re: How can this be remedied?


Sometimes it helps to do things Siri's way, if our own way is not working.

Eg: You could try saying something like: “Turn up the volume” or “Turn down the volume". ,,, experiment a little.


Seems we can "educate" Siri to do a whole lot more.

Could be worth the effort.


Use Siri on iPhone – Apple Support

Eg: says

Make a correction if Siri misunderstands you

  • Rephrase your request: Tap , then say your request in a different way.
  • Spell out part of your request: Tap , then repeat your request by spelling out any words that Siri didn’t understand. For example, say “Call,” then spell the person’s name.
  • Change a message before sending it: Say “Change it.”
  • Edit your request with text: If you see your request onscreen, you can edit it. Tap the request, then use the onscreen keyboard.


There's a whole lot more in Apple Support's articles, above and below:
