Why is Siri getting worse?
I used to be able to ask Siri to call my wife (useful if driving and need to discuss something urgent - no need to handle the phone) but now Siri attempts to write what I am saying, spells my wife's name wrong and says there is no-one by that name in my contacts.grrrrrr. It used to work fine. I even taught my small children (who are too young to otherwise make the call) to use it to call my wife in case of an emergency (if wife was out and I collapse for example). No that won't work.
Also, I used to be able to ask Siri to play music that is stored on my iPhone while I was driving - that WAS good. Now occasionally works but usually says "you have to unlock your phone first" - a bit dangerous while driving...
I know there are old posts about similar issues but it is getting worse, not better. I am disappointed, Apple! You should be better than this.
