how to stop siri from repeating my alarm command ten times

When I set an alarm using Siri, whe repeats that the alarm has been set between 7 and ten times. This only happens with alarms, not any other commands. It does set the alarm properly.


How can I get Siri to stop repeating the command over and over?


iPhone 5c

Up to date IOS

Turned Siri off and on again


Thanks!

iPhone 5c, iOS 10.2

Here's a good workaround solution to the problem, at least until Apple finally figures their way out of this. Break the alarm command down into two steps as follows:

1. Say, "Add an alarm."

2. Siri well then ask what time to set the alarm for, and then say, "8:00 AM," or whatever.

This seems to work.

Iphone 4 has same issue. Repeats alarm set confirmation about 10 times. I reset my phone and discovered another issue too. When setting up Siri for the first time - I went through the process. I don't remember if I asked a question or got a confirmation that Siri was set up - but it repeated the same thing over and over. Only way to stop was push the home button and ask Siri a question. Then it stopped. I also found that when you ask Siri to delete all alarms (the one you have set) it will say there is nothing to delete? I go in and have to manually turn off or delete the alarm.
