how do I get siri to forget or change a relationship?

Siri is great -- but I think I found a flaw. She accidently linked someone as my sister. When I asked her to remove the relationshipo, she comes back with "I am not allowed to change relationships." How do I do so? Is there a way to reset Siri and start all over?

edit your contact details (phone or contact app). there are options for "spouse", "mother", "father", etc.

I was having this problem too and found the solution!!

Siri knows who you are by Settings->General->Siri->'My Info.' 'My Info' should be your own contact information from in your Contacts.

At first I thought 'Related People' entires were for you to note who that person was to you. Ex: John Doe is my spouse. However, it is really for people related to that person. Therefore, in order to have Siri forget a relationship to YOU, you need to delete that person from 'Related People' under your OWN contact information. You can also add 'Related People' in to have Siri know them going forward.

I hope this helps!!! 😁
