Voice control for music doesn't work anymore (iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3)IOS 11 upgrade, and consecutive 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3

Because I’ve posted a reply to the Voice control problem over Bluetooth posted by UBER_PRO on Sep 21, 2017 7:19 AM, saying that the problem it is not Voice Control over Bluetooth, but the entire Voice Control feature itself.

At other forum, “MacRumors”, where i've started this same discussionabout the broken Voice Control feature after iOS 11, and one reply from Chazzle was that his iPhone 7 on iOS 11.1 Beta 5 has the same problems with Voice Control. At the same discussion we’ve discussed about Siri being or not an alternative to Voice Control, and NO, Siri is not an alternative.

Siri is not available in all languages, accents and dialects. Voice Control as more languages to be used.

In my case, I´m Portuguese from Portugal and Siri is only available in Brazilian Portuguese. The accents of those two variations of Portuguese are significant, and Siri does not understand almost everything I say. Also, Siri is not multilingual and if you have contacts or music from various nationalities, even if you try hard to speak with a Brazilian accent, when I ask, for example, an English artist to play or a French name from your contact list to dial to, Siri never understands because it’s always trying to find Portuguese words on everything I say. After iOS 11 upgrade, Voice Control, that is available in Portuguese from Portugal since the beginning of this feature, only tried to match Portuguese words to the available commands. For the names of contacts, music, albums or artists, voice control just tried to find similar spelling words at the corresponding iPhone Contacts or Music Databases.

Siri as it works now it’s not a solution. Not only because that depends of an internet connection, but also because Siri always try to match what you say to a word that exists on the dictionary related to the previous Siri's language chosen, so will never find other languages names or words spoked. Only if, on a future iOS fix, Apple makes Siri an hybrid of the traditional Siri with Voice Control, to work as Voice Control when no internet connection available and when you ask for something that is on your iPhone internal databases, as contacts or music library, instead of trying to find a match to the chosen language dictionary goes straight to a possible match to the words or names of those internal databases. That it’s what you can really call a serious Siri's improvement, more than make Siri’s voice more humanised.If nothing like that it is scheduled as a next Apple’s Siri’s improvement, at least: - APPLE, PLEASE FIX THE VOICE CONTROL FEATURE!!

Some answers please!!

I drive a lot, and now, with this problem, I have to choose the music, Artist or Album before that I wan't to listen at my car stereo receiver connected to my iPhone by Bluetooth, before start my drive, and if the choice I've maid, finish playing, or if I want to change to something different to listen or call someone, I have to stop my car to do it. Because or I have my hands on the driving wheel or I am using a phone, and or I'm looking to the road or I am looking to a phone,

I really need to know if this voice control problem is a bug of the IOS 11... to all iPhones or to the 6S's ones, or not, and probably is an hardware malfunction caused by the IOS 11 uograde to my iPhone 6S.

Some help please!!

Thanks

Nope!!

Unfortunately, I think Apple don´t give a sh**t to this issue.

As someone said on another thread, Apple is probably only interested in Siri feature and classic Voice Control will finish.

No enough potential iPhone buyers will prefer Voice Control instead of Siri, so it´s a question of cost/benefit to Apple spend their own developers time in a feature that not really makes a great difference on the final count: "iPhone Sells".

Just sent a Bug Report about this issue to the Apple Product Feedback.
