Hi,
Has anyone tried asking Siri for the time or date? It's not working for me.
If I ask "What's the weather going to be today" - it gives me the weather for my town.
But if I ask "What time is it" - it says "I have no idea what time it is in <insert street address>. Sorry about that!"
I've checked my contact info and it all looks ok.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I have the same problem. The trick is to deactive the location settings for Siri (Settings>Location Services>Siri>Off). Then you can ask Siri "What time is it?" And Siri will tell you the time.
I guess we'll have to deal with this bugs for now until Siri is no longer a Beta. My recomendation: Just keep asking for the time and the city. Turning off the Location Services is a pain in the back specially when asking for the weather.
I hope this helped. 🙂
hi
I had the same problem and it would bug me endlessly. But after I asked it once, what was the time in London (where I live) every time after that I asked "What's the time?" it told me. Same with the date. I think you just have to ask it for the time in your current location (away from big cities maybe just say England or United Kingdom) for the first time, and every time after that it just assumes you want the time or date for the same location or area. I hope this works for you, because I'm very relieved to have figured out how to make it work for mine.
It only seems to be a problem outside the US for those people with location services turned on. I'm in New Zealand and I also get the rubbish response telling me I can't get the time for my street address.
Interestingly, if I ask Siri "What is the local time?", I get the response; "I found this for you" with a Wolfram Alpha printout showing US Pacific Standard Time instead of New Zealand time. Siri obviously thinks she is back in California even though my location services are switched on and working fine.
"What time is it?" works fine for Siri on my phone, too.
Yeah mine works too. I just say" time and date"
The weather app is ok, shows weather for Bishops cleeve, which is where I am. Not tried a place name in the question. Will give this a go.
Working fine for me and I live in 'the sticks' between two small villages west of Glasgow. I'm very impressed with Siri which has no problem with my (slightly) Scottish accent 🙂
Same problem goes here!
I have to provide my city to check out my time!
Instead of saying what's the time now, I have to say "what's the time in adelaide" to get the answer!
really diappointed!
mine says it cannot do this right now, i dont know what time is at such & such address, search's for weather, but can't do it...
try deleting your address and putting it back in. also make sure that in Siri settings it has your name selected for your info.
Mine works fine when I ask for the time.
Spoke to Applecare yesterday who basically said it should work as described in the UK but that Siri is still in beta (which is a major cop out IMO).
Will just have to wait for next update I guess.
does not work here (Brazil) either...
"time and date"
"what time is it"
updates...updates...updates...updates...updates...updates...updates...updates... updates...updates...
For UK, all u need to ask is current UK time. Works fine. If u ask "what is the time" it uses GPS and doesn't locate well if indoors etc.
Is location services turned on?
Open clock app. As you know there are world clocks. Add yours. And also be sure that the Location services are opened. Try again. I hope that will help.
Asking Siri for the time??
