It totally devastates Siri in it’s capabilities. It’s much better at understanding natural language requests, talks to many data sources and works in conjunction with the digital google home assistant. I’m a big fan myself. It’s all about Google home and Alexa for Amazon now. > On May 18, 20

It needs to now your location as it pulls down a lot of customized locations based data for you. I don’t mind giving that permission out, it’s randomized and aggregated in to larger data sets when sold and I like the services I get in exchange for giving up my location. If I’m up to something
