Voice control problem over bluetooth

They told you why it’s being closed - it’s a duplicate meaning they already have the bug listed. Most companies will reference the duplicate in the initial bug submission but it doesn’t make sense to have multiple tickets open for the same issue.

Tested with the iOS11.2. Zilch...

Apple begins to look like that "famous" contractor that everyone knows about, who does a lousy job at your house and once you start calling him to report the snafus he has left behind, he disappears like a fart in the wind....

...and, like all the others, I experience this persistent problem. From iOS 11 onwards.

My trusted (old, but stil functioning) Cardo motorcycle helmet kit ceased passing voice commands to my iPhone 6s - that is to say: the commands seemed to arrive allright but led to nothing.

Today I replaced the Cardo with a brand new Sena 10s, which achieved exactly nothing in resolving the problem. Voice control works fine on the 6s when it operates on itself. When connected to the USB device each command arrives (the voice graph on the iPhone corresponds nicely with the spoken command) but only leads to a vague beep. End of story.

So, Apple, when is someone gonna dive into this and bring back the full functionality that was there up until iOS 11?

Is anybody listening at all?

I've had this issue on my iPhone 6 since I updated to iOS 11. I've gone through 5 senior advisors and 4 months before they agreed to upgrade my phone to the 6S, and guess what - I'm STILL having the problem. I've gone through all of the steps as well, had my car system updated, and have gotten to the point of needing to replace the entire radio unit in my car in hopes that it will help. Apple senior advisors were of no help, one sent diagnostics to the engineers but didn't actually put the problem into the request, so essentially, they lost the log files. All of the senior advisors also told me that I'm the only person with this problem. I feel your frustration, and hopefully, one day, Apple might actually fix this problem. Until then, I might just have to change platforms.

Good luck, and thanks for posting!

It’s obvious that Apple tech support is on par with the quality of their products! Unfortunately for those of us that have been taken advantage of for an extended period of time by Apple..., we realize that quality,up to date technology and tech support are doled out like diamonds!!! Just enough to string us along and still charge a premium for “new” but really antiquated subpar crap. Al least with diamonds you have something of value, Apple willingly supplies us with as many useless paperweights we are willing to pay for. Save your money, because one bad Apple does spoil the bunch ;)

I have the same problem.

I just bought an Iphone 6s 32 gb with Ios version is 11.2.6.

I discovered that the old voice control does not work with my Bluetooth car stereo, a Sony, mex-n4100bt, and

also with any other of my Bluetooth devices.

When i switch to siri mode, the voice control is working fine with all my Bluetooth devices.

With my old iphone 5, ios 10.3.3 everything worked fine and i was very happy.

My big issue is that Siri is not available at my Language, Greek and it is a matter of safety during driving, while with my old iphone 5 i use a lot the voice control to make calls from my contacts and now it is not possible.

Is Apple going to do something about it.

It's really ridiculous that iOS 11.3 has been officially released and the problem still persists. I really wonder when they will fix it. All these months since iOS 11 first release, I drive and do not have the ability to launch Voice Control calls (or other commands) through my car's bluetooth.

Totally. Obviously, it will never be fixed. I'd bet that, at least, one people in the world had a fatal car accident due this absurd and shameless downgrade. Apple cannot denied that this issue encourage iphone manipulation on the road.

I’ve been using iphone since 3GS and everything works fine till this IOS 11 crap.

Voice control is a must when you use a bluetooth device. Since 11 it’s not working at all because all i can do is to answer a call.

11.3 camed out and didnt fix it.

It’s time to switch back to android. Thats for sure.

For all this years i’ve been a satisficed user and when anyone asked me what cell he should buy - there was only one answer.

Not anymore.

Looking for 4” android. Voice control works there. I’ve already checked this.

I have exactly the same problem with my BT head set, Plantronics M90, that worked perfectly OK till the upgrade to 11.0 and 11.0.1 upgrade made no improvement at all to this issue.

Please, help.

Same thing for me. Îm absolutly disapointed.! Apple should create an update to fix this and fast.

I deeply regret upgradimg to iOS 11.

Everything was perfect BEFORE thïs &&@&$ update!

IPhone 7, updated to 11.0.1 next 10.0.2 and now to 11.0.3 - did not help.

Still voice commands with Plantronics bluetooth device not work.

In 10.x.x was working with no problem.
