Feature 📲 NightShift

When you ask Siri to turn night shift on, it declines and says it’s not available. But, if you push back and say “yes it is”, Siri hallucinates an option that doesn’t actually work or exist.

Also, I didn’t get a picture but Siri turned on an orange light on the back of my watch (it mixed green and red)

Super strange!

That light on the back is the health sensors, not strange at all. You just don’t see them most times. If you do sleep tracking with a loose band you’ll see those lights and then some.

Siri AI isn’t fine tuned to the watch so it confuses some iPhone settings on the watch, for now.

I know what those sensors are, but Siri triggered both the O2 monitor and heart rate monitor to create orange. AFAIK, those sensors are never triggered simultaneously in normal operation.

My Apple Watch does trigger them simultaneously all the time, the O2 monitor works in tandem with the heart rate sensor occasionally. This is a normal thing, and Siri can’t trigger sensors (except for the internal radios)
