Not sure whether it's a language/pronounciation issue but for 15 years since siri was released i have not seen a single person using it successfully without having to yell at it for not waking up or not understanding the request correctly
I’ve been using it a dozen times a day for the past 14 years with very few issues. Certainly not enough issues that I would ever want to go back to adding things like alarms and reminders and events by hand.
I listen to Sirius XM in my car a lot and when there are ad bumpers or hosts that say "Sirius XM", it triggers siri on my watch about 10% of the time. Fun.
i guess im a unicorn haha. I routinely control my home (shades, lights, fans), set reminders for myself, set timers while cooking, and reply to (simple) text messages.
