Siri what’s my altitude?

Can someone from Apple explain what happened to this feature? I used it all the time as I travel a lot. Please fix it or tell us what the issue is. Is there another way to get altitude using Siri? With s/w there is always another way. Out of respect for users please reply.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

CarPlay & Siri: Cannot Get Directions While Driving Up until the last week or so I have always been able to get Siri to give me directions when I am driving. I simply say "Hey Siri, get directions to McDonalds [using Waze]," and CarPlay launches the appropriate app and gives me directions. This past week I've been getting a different response. "Hey Siri, get directions to McDonalds [using Waze]" results in "I'm sorry but I cannot do that while you are driving" or "I'm sorry, but I cannot show you those results while you are driving." It doesn't matter if I leave in Waze or leave that out to use Apple Maps. Every time Siri informs me that she cannot do directions while driving. That means I have to reach over and operate CarPlay by touch, which defeats the safety aspect of queueing up direction by voice. Is anyone else having this problem? Was it a 16.1 update bug (it worked okay in 16.0)? Is there a setting I need to change, or a new way I should phrase my request perhaps? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions! (iPhone 14 Pro with 16.1.1 running as of today... Happened in 16.1 though, maybe 16.0, I don't recall the exact time it started in relation to the update.)

Siri only gives half of the directions in maps Siri has stopped giving me all directions in maps. She only speaks about half of them. Sometimes, she says things like, “in two feet, turn left,” as if I have time to do that when she doesn’t give me a warning in advance. She used to speak EVERY direction in advance. Yes, Siri settings for maps are “normal;” she does talk, she just doesn’t say everything. Why is this happening? It’s incredibly annoying when I have to suddenly make a U-turn because I didn’t get directions in time.

You have posted in a public, user-to-user forum, this is not Apple support and Apple rarely replies here.

Instead, send this feedback at Product Feedback - Apple
