“Hey Siri, remind me about this on Monday” does not work.

“Hey Siri, remind me about this on Monday” does not work when I have an email open. Siri always asks: “Ok, just tell me what you want to be reminded about.“


I‘m on version 11.4.1 iPhone X. Please advise. Raphael

Ah, I see what you mean! I tried this and it worked for me.


I believe I understand exactly why it works for me and not you.

You are using beta software!


I am on version 11.4 on iPhone X. At this time, iOS 11.4 is the latest released version.


You use beta software at your own risk.


Anyway, I did learn something from you, and I appreciate that.

This sounds like a perfectly reasonable response to me!


How would you expect the reminder to be worded? Simply have it worded as "This"???


If you worded your request differently, like "Hey Siri, remind me to grocery shop on Monday", that would produce a different result.

Sorry. I mean no disrespect, but your reply is as actually funny. In case you don’t know: When you have an email open, and you ask Siri, using the sentence I used, it’s supposed to create a reminder with details of your email, which is actually what is now displaying on the screen, at the time and date you specify. Siri is meant to be smart enough to know that “this” means the email you have open, and use that information to create the reminder, so you can remember to check that specific displayed email. I’ve actually used this exact functionality before. And it worked perfectly. It’s only recently that I can’t get it to work.




But thanks for replying anyways.


Best,


Raphael.
