  Man, or, when I’m driving through the mountains, “Hey, Siri, play [some song I’ve owned 20 years and have downloaded locally to my device] in my Music app”; “I’m sorry, I’m having trouble getting a connection.” You useless fuck, you never needed a connection back when it was Voice Control; it was only after we moved to the awful Siri future some 15 years ago or whatever that this unbelievably basic, used-to-be-built-in-so-I-know-you-know-how-to-do-it function was replaced with something that has to call out to the Internet to do anything of value.

  Siri legit has gotten dumber over the last few years and it only got worse with “Apple Intelligence”.

  I used to rely on her a lot more but I can’t trust her for the most basic shit anymore. It’s easier to go into my phone app and pick my contact to call. At least I know it’s not going to do something dumb like call my ex when I said call my mom.

  I used to like having the option to tell Siri to “play that album” when playing a random song and she forgot how to do that. Also the whole change to just playing the song instead of playing the song with the album, or remembering my choice to keep repeat on. It’s infuriating because all they had to do was leave it alone.

  Didn’t know they removed the toggle. This supports the hypothesis that they plan to remove every physical button and connector / port (which they can’t, at least for the EU version).

  Maybe they recognized that most people just leave their phone on silent forever.

    They replaced the toggle with a button that you can program to do any one of a selection of things. For example, my phones always on silent so I use this button to turn on/off the flashlight. They have a it a really dumb marketing name ✨ The Action Button ✨

      So it can only be used for one thing at a time? (support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/…/ios)

      Even my cheap Android phone does this better, although I wish there were more modes like triple, short then long, 2 short then long, or changing action for when screen is locked vs unlocked (e.g. flashlight when locked, toggle VPN when unlocked).
      But it’s at least something.

  Your phone has batterieS?

    It’s a widget you can add, it lets you glance at your phone, watch, airpods and airpod case battery.

  Ironically, the reason she can’t is because it’s a physical switch.

  If she turned it off for you , then the physical indicator on the switch would be wrong, but she has no ability to move the switch.

  • ceramicsky@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The new iPhones have a button, not a switch so this is not an issue.

    • FuglyDuck@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Because everyone always goes out and gets the new phone?

      Yes. It’s an issue.

  The only voice function I use is setting timers and I get so frustrated Google wants me to unlock my phone to do so. I am using my voice because my hands are busy. So annoying!

  • MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Not to mention the unlock to switch to USB file transfer, default in charging mode. There’s still no root-hack to default to file transfer mode?

  My iPad likes to watch TV with me, she’s constantly chiming in with little facts no one asked for.
