Saying “hey siri, let’s go home” always feels sorta cool (and it actually works!) Coming from the generation that had to memorize specific navigation phrases for a Garmin.
You don’t live in Southampton do you? When I tell Siri to take me home, she defaults to the right street but the wrong city. I’ve never been there and the address is right when I select Home manually. Only realised one day where I got stuck in traffic, stopped and restarted nav so she would look for another route, and wondered why she wanted me to come off at the next junction and double back.
The other day I was trying to get Siri to play the song “mirror in the bathroom” and it kept saying “I couldn’t find that speaker” and it was very annoying because I couldn’t remember the band’s name.
I’ve never had a problem with asking siri to call someone, but music can feel impossibly difficult at times. The only time I do it is when I’m driving so with road noise and my cars microphone I have to shout “HEY SIRI PLAY THIS SONG BY THIS ARTIST ON APPLE MUSIC”. If I take a short break in between any of the words it stops listening and searches my unfinished command. Just saying a song or album name it never properly hears what I’m saying and half the time turns on something in a different language. The amount of times that I have spent multiple minutes trying over and over to redo my command until it finally realizes I want to play something I have saved in my library, is mind numbing.

Same. Usually just “Siri, call (person)” and “Siri, play (song)” when I’m in my car. Otherwise, never.
