No, as I said in my original email: I then unlocked my phone, got SIRI to listen and said "Hey Google" since I have the Google Assistant app installed and I set up that shortcut in Settings > SIRI and Search. This opened the Google Assistant app and got it to listen right away.
The key here is "unlocked my phone" and " I have the Google Assistant app installed". the app of course has to open, but you can set up a SIRI Shortcut and record whatever phrase you want to use, e.g. Hey Google" or, if you want "Hey, all mighty and invasive search engine". If you then bring up SIRI (your iPhone has to be unlocked since in this case the Google Assistant app has to open) and speak whatever phrase you recorded, in my case "Hey Google" then the Google Assistant app opens and starts listening. If you then ask something and get an answer you can continue to simply say "Hey Google" or "OK Google" and because at that point the app is open it will listen without you having to press anything.

He is running IOS 12.1.4 and I am running the Beta 12.2 and neither of us got any suggestions when installing the app. Are you saying you can activate Hey Google without opening the app? Because I have checked every setting and Googled the issue with no luck. Perhaps I misunderstood. I also see no option to use Hey Google instead of OK Google. -----Original Message----- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Saturday, March 2, 2019 7:33 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: SIrI is stupid, was: iphone not creating calendar events I think it was given as a suggestion after I installed the Assistant app. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of BB Sent: Saturday, March 2, 2019 9:31 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: SIrI is stupid, was: iphone not creating calendar events I am just now trying to learn how to use shortcuts.

How can you select which Reminders list is the default? If I use SIRI to create a reminder it usually puts it in the Alexa Shopping list and not the Reminders or Family list. The other day I thought I was smart and I said "SIRI, create a reminder in the family list", then I waited thinking SIRI would ask me what I want to be reminded about. Instead SIRI said "Created "Family List" in your reminders and when I opened the app and checked it had put an item "Family List" in the Alexa Shopping List. It's so wonderful how smart SIRI is after 8 years. As it was our anniversary a couple of days ago I was going to call our local flower shop and get them to put something together for my wife. I couldn't remember the name so I asked SIRI "Look for flower shops nearby". It started listing flower sh ops in Terrace, a slightly larger town about 200 Km (125 miles) away. I then unlocked my phone, got SIRI to listen and said "Hey Google" since I have the Google Assistant app installed and I set up that shortcut in Settings > SIRI and Search. This opened the Google Assistant app and got it to listen right away. I asked the exact same thing, "Look for flowershops nearby" and it came back instantly with "Larkspur Flowers". I said "Call there" and since the Assistant can't totally place a call instantly without approval like SIRI, the phone app popped up with the number and after I tapped it the call was placed. Later I asked SIRI to "Call Larkspur Flowers" and it came back with "I found one option, Shelley's Mountain Flower on Larkspur Lane in Avon". When I asked my Google Home speaker to "Call Larkspur Flowers" it said "Calling Larkspur Flowers" and it then rang and the call was placed correctly. Ah, wouldn't it be nice if SIRI was half as smart as the Google Assistant?
