"Hey Siri text person I am on the way" not working on my iPhone

When I use “Hey Siri text person I am on the way”

Siri responds, “Do want to change it or send it?”


Previously, Siri would respond, “Sending to (person)”


This seems to have changed recently with iOS 7.2.1

iPhone 14 Pro

Have you tried going to Settings>Siri & Search>Automatically Send Messages and turning it on?


If I recall correctly, Apple added in the confirmation prompt some time back. I thought it was with iOS 16 but I don't have a good memory for that sort of thing. Rather more recently, they added in an option to disable the confirmation.

doing the same, sometimes

Sorry. That's the only suggestion I have.


I have some vague memory of people saying that Siri will eventually stop asking for a confirmation (if the setting is correct) after you've asked the same question a couple of times. I could be misremembering and/or whoever said that could have been completely wrong or clueless.
