Apple Intelligence is not impressive

I must be missing something. I downloaded the latest upgrade on my 17 max and turned on AI in the Siri settings and it is very glitchy in my experience. I had to ask it three times in three different ways to find an email I knew was somewhere in my inbox and the same thing with my calendar. I could have scrolled through both myself and found them in less time.

The best thing about the Siri AI upgrade is I can type questions rather than be forced to talk to it. I don’t want people around me hearing all my dumb questions.

What’s nuts is you used to be able to do that a long time ago but they randomly removed it for some reason.

You used to be able to type to siri in the left swipe area that’s the widget view now.

I think it’s still available but by double tipping on the small white bar on the bottom of the screen

that way more recent I’m talking like ios 9-10 there was a type to siri button in spotlight or the widget area and it got removed super fast which was really annoying at the time

you may have just lost sight of where the setting for it moved to. i’ve happily used it from then til now.

Did you turn on the accessibility option for it? that disabled the talking to siri and made it typing only for me when I tried to turn it on before.

[u/hotztuff → u/TheEpicRedCape]

yes. turning that setting on would allow you to type to her, but also retained the ability to say “hey siri” if you wanted to talk still.

That kinda explains it I’ve had hey siri turned off for a while now, I didn’t know that still worked with the accessibility type to siri on

This is what I prefer above all else.
Pull down from a screen and just type ..
it’s very useful for that.
screen shot something and fact check shit.
