The stuff they just released is so bad. My 17 Pro used to open an app immediately when I asked Siri and now she churns for over 5 seconds sometime before opening things. Went from a time saving shortcut to an annoyance.
She can’t understand anything going on with my phone, she misunderstands me a lot more than before. Keeps requesting the same permissions over and over with no way to permanently grant them. Navigation is ridiculous she’ll navigate to a town in the next country before a name in my contacts. Having really loved iPhones since 2010 this will be my last one. I’m bound for grapheneos or something similar have already begun moving my data out of their cloud in anticipation.
I got this too. I think it’s a bug in our user profiles - local inference for shit like opening apps should be fast, but instead it hands off to ChatGPT or something and fucks around for like 8 seconds.
Try Settings > Siri > Turn off Siri, then turn it on again.
When I did that it asked if I still wanted to be in the beta (what beta did I sign up for?!). I said no, and it finally reverted back to being fast-but-shitty, which is better than slow-and-shitty.
apparently you can use the old siri by turning it on and off again and clicking “classic”
🙏🏻
Thanks for this!
I turned off Siri on my MacBook so I could have the old spotlight search back.
You could also just open the app yourself and that's always faster than asking siri...
You don’t know how many apps I have on how many screens, or how many aren’t even on home screens, or what kind of tasks I’m doing with my hands where I might want this functionality. You don’t even know if I have hands. You have zero idea if it would be faster for me to manually open an app vs use a voice assistant.
No thank you for your useless opinion.
In contrast, I always put my shortcuts in the same place on my devices, so I can access them through muscle memory, which is even faster.
This latest update is 18gb which is over a quarter of the total storage on my phone. I am stuck because I haven't been able to clear enough space yet... I don't want all these BS AI features but I also need to download the security updates...
