    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.

    But siri is a 8000 series computer! They have never been wrong.

    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!

    WeChat for China, LINE for Japan and WhatsApp for Europe. You're on Eurasia but who the hell knows where!

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

    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.

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

    Because everyone always goes out and gets the new phone?

    Yes. It’s an issue.

    ETA: some quick searches and it seems the most common phone in the 13, with around 60% being the fourteen or older.

    OP has one without the switch, so it shouldn't be the issue. Only happens because a trillion dollar company cannot account for the differences in their handful of devices.

    Because apple only maintains phones on an individual level?

    And probably literally everyone who writes apps for iOS, as they would now need to account for everyone’s potential behavior.

    It’s not “only”. Especially if you had to account for every possible variation in hardware. It’s more complexity and that means more opportunity for bugs.
