How do I correct Siri's spelling of my daughter's name on iPhone?

My daughter‘s name is Genevieve when I say, Gen Siri types Jen how do I change it? When I had an android phone, I could fix that.

Ever since update Siri can’t find my daughters name in contacts, because of pronunciation isn’t exact Ever since they did a recent update. When I tell my phone to text my daughter Malerie, it tells me that there is no Mallory in my contacts. It used to type her name correctly, as I spelled it. And it used to find her in my contacts. Now if I pronounce it wrong. It finds her. how do I teach my phone the correct spelling when I say her name? And get rid of the normal spelling of it? I tried adding it to the pronunciation section of her contact. But it still doesn’t make a difference. It still spells it wrong and can’t find her when I tell her to text her.

Add a phonetic name in your daughter’s contact

Create a text replacement so “Jen” → “Genevieve”

Re-train Siri’s voice input if needed
