How to change Siri's name?

I didn't think this was possible, but Apple Insider suggests that iOS 18 now provides a way to change Siri's wakeup name. See how they suggest you do it here --> https://appleinsider.com/inside/ios-18/tips/how-to-change-siris-name-in-ios-18-to-anything-you-like-with-vocal-shortcuts

My dog's name is Zuri and saying her name activates Siri. How can I change Siri's name to anything else, like "Hey iPhone"?

There is no way to do that. You can let Apple know it's something you'd like to see in the future here:

This doesn't work. It adds an additional phrase to launch Siri, but doesn't replace "Siri/Hey Siri". Articles claiming this method replaces "Siri" are inaccurate.

Then you're back to what I originally answered.

Maybe it's time to change the dog's name? ;-)

OK. As I mentioned the article was from Apple Insider, which is typically credible. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work.

Maybe if it was my kid. Then again, the dog's better at following instructions.

Ha! Well, I hope you get your wish.
