The truth is that I have not benefited from Siri since its release and even after its development, perhaps because I did not like the idea of ​​a personal assistant. I hope it will be useful to others, and everyone has their own needs and desires, and I add their abilities. Personally, I do not have the ability to deal with a personal assistant, but I kind of exclude Google Now Assistant

    Hello Moataz 🙋‍♂️, kind regards. No one disagrees that every person has his own experience and style of dealing with technology. A personal assistant may be useful to some, while others find it unhelpful. As for Siri, it has developed greatly in iOS 17, as it can now perform many tasks without having to activate it every time. 😊📱🍎

When driving a car, Siri is very useful and helps with the safety of the road, especially if the car is equipped with the KawiPlay system, so the driver will enjoy driving enjoyment and safety 😊👋

After updating to iOS17, Siri still works as it did before, that is, it does not respond when I call it Siri and only responds when I call it He Siri, even in the settings there is He Siri and not Siri alone.

    Welcome, Amir 🙋‍♂️. In fact, Apple has removed the need to say “Hey Siri” in the new iOS 17 update, and now you can just call “Siri” to start requesting what you want. But there seems to be a translation error where it says “He siri” instead of “Hey siri.” Try changing the device language to English, then restart the device, and then change the language again to Arabic. Maybe this will help solve the problem. 📲🔧

For me, I prefer using written commands more than voice commands, and who still asks Siri what time it is or opens an application when using their fingers is much easier...
Apple knows how to develop only stupid things that are of no benefit from using them except rarely, and it is better for it to meet what users want and not add features that are of no benefit to them, as happened in this failed update.
When I see the features found in devices running the Android system and the smoothness of the system, I am amazed that we are still “in the Stone Age and still centuries behind them.”
Just let's stop hyping it up and admit that what competing companies offer is much better than what we get

It seems that Siri is still activated by calling Hey Siri in Arabic! Am I wrong?

After greeting and after trying Siri, it became clear that the required development is in the desired direction. These features that you mentioned are important and we expect more, and that the mediator between us and our iPhone routine will be the throat instead of the big fingers that make mistakes in letter after letter.
In the case of voice commands and prohibitions, artificial intelligence suffers more than traditional generative intelligence because what the user wants is multi-faceted, and it is worse for Siri to miscalculate and call for an ambulance instead of a meal that the interlocutor wants. Therefore, we expect some time for her “automatic understanding” to develop into wisdom, that is, more knowledgeable about the speaker than himself. There is nothing wrong with the apple combining the sound with some quick gestures from its new watch so that Siri will be more sure of what she is doing, but this is not difficult for the apple.

    Hello Suleiman Muhammad 🙋‍♂️
    You are talking about something very important, as artificial intelligence is still developing and improving 🚀. Yes, there may be some errors in estimation and understanding, but these errors will certainly decrease with time and with increased development. In addition, Apple is investing heavily in improving Siri and making it more useful and effective for the user 📱. Thank you for your valuable comments and spark of optimism! 😊👏🏼

Can this feature include services that are not related to the system, such as sending a WhatsApp message, for example? I mean the feature of talking to Siri without connecting to the Internet.

    comments user

    Hello Sultan Muhammad 😊, Yes, Siri in iOS 17 can send messages via applications such as WhatsApp as long as you activate the “Use with ask Siri” feature in the settings. However, you must be connected to the Internet to perform these tasks. The feature of talking to Siri without an Internet connection is limited only to some basic commands, such as setting the alarm and others. 📱🌐

Note, the feature of talking to Siri without an Internet connection only works with services integrated into the system, such as calling a person, setting an alarm, sending a message, setting a timer, or other things related to the system.

    Thank you for your valuable clarification. Yes, this may be an issue for some users who expect to use Siri completely offline. We hope Apple improves this feature in future updates! 🚀🍏

    Hello Sultan Muhammad 🙋‍♂️, Thank you for your clarification. Yes, we actually forgot to mention this point. Indeed, the ability to talk to Siri without an Internet connection was added in the iOS 17 update, and this is considered a major advance in the development of Apple's voice assistant. 🍏🎉
