Siri isn’t all that great to begin with, but here are some ways to at least improve the Siri experience and get her to understand you better when shouting voice commands.
You’re probably better off going with either Alexa or Google Assistant for your voice-control needs, but we get it—if you have an iPhone, using Siri as your main voice assistant just makes sense.
However, if you’ve been having some issues lately getting her to hear you properly, there are some things you can do to better the situation.Redo the Voice Training for “Hey Siri”
If you take advantage of “Hey Siri” on your iPhone, you could benefit from redoing the voice training that you were prompted to do when you first set up the feature.
Just open up the Settings app, tap the “Siri & Search” category, and then turn off the “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” toggle.
Wait a few seconds, and turn the toggle back on. You’ll be prompted to set up Hey Siri, so just hit the “Continue” button.
Next, you’ll be asked to say “Hey Siri” a few times (as well as a couple of other phrases) so that Siri can learn your voice. One trick that may help to optimize this is to place your iPhone on a table a little way away from you, but still within eyesight so that you can read the screen. This supposedly helps Hey Siri to hear you better if you ever call for her when your iPhone isn’t directly in front of you.
When you’re done, hit the “Finish” button.
Odds are that retraining Siri will fix many of the problems you’re having, but we do have a few more tips for making Siri easier to use…
