Siri sometimes updates old reminders instead of creating new

Just happened to me now five times in a row and she still is not listening. It's always something with her she is worthless. You would think by now they would allow her to work of you cell carriers network instead of WiFi! Guess what!! Sometimes you don't have WIFI!! Come on Apple !! Get with it !! Make our lives easier!! It's that the point of technology??!

Apple...that's not useful. On iOS 10.3 beta 1 and it's still a problem. I routinely have reminders that haven't passed yet and I need to create a new reminder. I "hey Siri remind me tomorrow to pick up tacos" or whatever. It says "I've updated the reminder" and creates a new reminder with the same title with a new time. I've phrased this in a few ways and all of them result in a new time for an existing reminder. I didn't notice this problem until iOS 10. I have manually type the reminder and set the time if I have any unaddressed reminders. Serious this is a problem.

Has anyone figured out a resolution to this? I see that the original post is fairly old, but the problem persists. I have an iphone 7, running ios 10.3.1 and Siri updating reminders instead of creating a new one is driving me nuts!

Even more delightful: when I asked Siri to "google Siri updates old reminder instead Iof setting new one", she replied "when should I set your reminder @instead of set"?

What works for me is to say "Siri- remind me of xxx at 830 am tomorrow. I lose respect for Apple, though.

I've had this same problem for some time now; it appears to occur when you attempt to create a new reminder while you have an outstanding reminder. In fact, in testing, this problem even occurs when I say "Siri, create a new reminder for _____." The outstanding reminder is just updated to be for the new time specified; even weirder, sometimes she'll create the same reminder for the next day without eliminating the old one. Really odd.

Edit: Some users have suggested listing the entire reminder details as a workaround, but even this doesn't work in some cases; specifying everything I need still sometimes results in "Ok, I've updated the reminder."

This is so **** true it makes me sick. Unbelievable. Shoot. I never complain about anything. But this. Omg this ***** so much. You left out that now the previous reminder you had now has the wrong date or time for that reminder. Update this Apple. Love this phone though. I will say create from now on. Thanks

Same issue here although I found a permanent fix. I only use Google Assistant these days. I am one of the millions of Apple users who is systematically removing apple devices and software from my life. The company has become too large to be able to maintain the values and principles on which it was formed. It's unfortunate as I really used to love my devices. Not anymore.Only 2 laptops and a phone remaining, and as soon as they go, so do I.

I was also facing the same issue and it was very annoying.

Recently i have changed how i ask Siri to create reminder, instead of asking siri to create new reminder i have started saying "remind me about update documents on Saturday 9 am" . so far it is working very good i have not seen any incident till now of siri updating the reminder instead of creating new one.

May be this will hel.

Thank you! All the time. So annoying.

I would love to see an answer to this. I can't imagine not having more people experience this issue.

I'm having the same issue all the time. Didn't have that issue in iOS 8

Such a shame makes Siri completely useless

This is a hugely obnoxious problem. Setting reminders accounts for about 90% of my Siri use. Suddenly, she seemingly finds it terribly difficult to grasp the concept that a human person might need to remember more than one thing on a particular day!

-Siri, set a reminder for Friday, January 29th at 12:04 p.m.

-Okay, I've updated the reminder.

-NO! Siri, set a NEW reminder for January 29th at 12:07 p.m.

-Okay, I've updated the reminder.

-GODDAMIT, NO!!! Siri, set a BRAND NEW reminder for January 29th at 12:08 p.m.

-Okay, I've updated the reminder.

[Finally]

-Siri, CREATE a new reminder for January 29th at 11:49 a.m.

-Okay, what would you like me to remind you about?

-"Staff meeting today at 5:00"

-Okay, your reminder has been set for today at 5:00

-NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Ack - Novice9, you must have been hiding in the bushes and stole my lines because that is almost EXACTLY the scene that just played out.

Same 90% reminders from Siri. Has worked great, but I'm ramping up my use of it, and suddenly it's Who's On First? every other time I try to create a reminder.

Why hasn't this been addressed? No advice from Apple on this issue? It's quite insidious and possibly recent.

Yes, same thing here, and it's getting worse! For a while, I could still schedule a few new reminders occasionally, but now all Siri will when I ask her to create new reminders do is to update reminders I already have, giving them wrong dates and times...driving me nuts!

I just updated to IOS 9.3 and the problem went away on my iPad Air 2. Hope it helps you too.
