What Siri does when you ask her to set alarm to 8am every day

Thanks @nzrff for the picture

The million-dollar question, from February 5:

"A recent statement from Google CEO Sundar Pichai has cast some doubt on whether Apple’s upcoming Gemini-powered Siri will truly remain within the Cupertino company’s infrastructure or be farmed out to Google’s servers."

"However, one thing Cook did reiterate was that Apple’s plans for the next-generation of Siri wouldn’t compromise on privacy."

Speech to text doesn’t work in airplane mode….

Hmm

Rebooted and now the keyboard shows a waveform instead of the previous icon so somethings definitely been changed. I wonder if it’s on device anymore #enshittitication #apple #siri #iOS #MacOS

Did Apple already switch Siri’s text to speech and speech to text over to Gemini? Cause Siri sounds like crap and STT has a strange spining icon I’ve not seen before

I'm not sure when this changed, but yelling "whose phone is this" and "I'm being pulled over" at siri no longer disable biometrics on iOS 26.1. This means the only methods of quickly turning off biometrics are to set up SOS and tap the side button 5 times or restart your phone. Restarting is much stronger anyway since it wipes the decryption keys that are loaded after the first unlock. Plan accordingly if you use finger or face unlocks and are wary of law enforcement.

Dear Apple -- Thanks for the software update but I will never use Siri or Apple Pay on my iPhone. Surely your LLM has figured this out by now, as we do this every update.

How long will Apple keep that red notification on my Settings?

Might this be because the current iteration or version of #Siri SUCKS ASS?

Half the time when using either Apple Music or Spotify, Siri completely effs up my commands to play music — and not just in little, subtle ways. For example if I ask the smartphone AI to play "Oh My" by Issey Cross, Siri will instead repeatedly play something by Rihanna with a similar sounding track title.

Fact: #Apple has a long way to go in fixing their stuff so it runs more smoothly. Siri does not work that well for the present time.

Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant Siri routinely recorded private conversations that were then sold to third parties for targeted ads.
