I rely on speaking to Siri to do things for me

Hello

Have you tried Voice Control? Gives you much more control over your device than Siri. And built into you device. See video below.

I agree - it will be great if Siri becomes more intuitive and practical. Let's hope this is in the pipeline.

Two other suggestions that may help you.

1. Shortcuts can allow you to make your own Siri commands. They are not the easiest thing to get your head around but can be useful to simplify tasks down to one command.
2. Vocal Shortcuts has been added to iOS18 (in the accessibility section in settings). Full disclosure, I have not looked into this feature in detail yet, but it may also be worth investigating.

The issue with Siri not stopping after a request is annoying and an issue that is causing issues for people who rely on voice. I don't have a solution for this issue.

I hope that helps.

I'd suggest a discussion directly with Apple: Accessibility Support - Official Apple Support
