How do I ask Siri basic questions

You used to be able to ask things like "What's the weather in ,,," Now what you get is a choice of contacts to call. How does one ask questions not related to an AP??? I miss the old Siri.

Hello bradleydad,



I understand that you're not getting the response that you'd expect from Siri when asking a number of different questions. Fortunately the steps outlined below can help restore full functionality to Siri on your iPhone.

  1. Make sure that your iOS device has an Internet connection through Wi-Fi or cellular data.
  2. On your iOS device, make sure that Siri is turned on under Settings > General > Siri.
  3. Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  4. On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Siri and turn off Siri. Then turn it on again.
  5. Make sure that the microphones on your device aren't blocked. For example, if your device has a protective case, remove it.
  6. If you're using an iOS device, try to use Siri with a headset. If Siri works, get more help with the microphones on your device.
  7. Contact Apple Support.
