Amen! Yes! I get so frustrated when this happens.

Subject: Re: SIRI asking too many questions when calling with an iPhone
This whole business about Siri and asking questions and whether or not it
looks into your contacts is so strange. I find that recently, Siri has been
making phone calls to my contacts without asking for confirmation. On the
other hand, if I ask Siri for a phone number which I know is in my contacts,
more often than not, it says I found such and such place is this what you
want? And it is been a search of the web that turned that place up. And in
some cases, it is the wrong place, not the one in my contacts, but another
one in town. It makes no sense. This is another area where Apple had a good
thing and has not developed it. Google eats apples lunch,, as you say in
this area.

Google's OK google feature eats Siri's lunch and probably has done so for
a while now. I don't even bother asking Siri to initiate a call to any of
my contacts as I find the process to be tedious and prolonged.

I find that Siri almost always asks me to confirm the person I want to
call, even if it's my wife for instance, and Siri knows she's my wife so
I have no idea why.

I find this quite interesting since for a while SIRI did the same thing
for our local taxi company even though I have them in my contacts as
well. Then for a while it called them again just fine using my contact
and now again it goes back to looking it up online. Also, right now SIRI
is often asking me again if the person I told SIRI to call was the one I
wanted to call and I have to confirm first. It seems SIRI is rather
inconsistent at time or maybe Appleis just fooling around with different
settings and ways for SIRI to do things. I think that SIRI should always
first check ones contacts and use that. I also had it where I asked SIRI
to call "BV Taxi" our local taxi company, and it said "I don't have a
number for BV Taxi". When I told SIRI to "Show me BV Taxi" it showed me
the contacts entry with phone number and I know for sure that a number is
there in the proper dialing format. Don't think there is anything much y
ou can do about it except maybe give feedback to Apple and suggest they
should just get their act together and make SIRI work a bit better.

Subject: SIRI asking too many questions when calling with an iPhone
Wondering if anyone has a solution
Request to SIRI: "Call Caseno Taxi"
Response: "I found a Caseno Taxi on Nova Lee Drive - is that the one you
want?"
I have this company in my contacts and as a favourite. When calling
from my Apple watch under friends it does what I ask
I find this process to be very frustrating. I can understand this being
useful when wanting to call something or someone who is not in your
contacts Is there any way to change it so that it works like it did under
iOS 7.
I find it most inefficient. Why didn't they just leave well enough alone.
Thanks in advance.
Barry
