[iOS 17 DB1] Siri Back to Back requests (self.iosbeta)

submitted 2 years ago by marcar to c/iosbeta

Has anyone successfully achieved back to back request functionality on the iOS 17 beta?

I’ve successfully enabled the “Siri” invocation instead of “Hey Siri,” but I’m struggling to make back-to-back requests work.

Has anyone worked it out?

It's been very fucky with me anyway. I've tried to get it to work a few times and it's always messed up. Pretty disappointing to see, although it is the first beta.

I don't think it was things like "set the lights to 100% and green" I think they planned on people doing "set the lights to 100%, set the lights to green", which still doesn't work very well for me.

Unsurprisingly, Siri still feels very unbaked, which is very disappointing all things considered.

You are correct, I that's how I understood it from the WWDC presentation, but then I read some comments on by other users on reddit that seem to be able to string them together in one command, but I may have misinterpreted it.

It's early days for the beta, hopefully they get it sorted out, but I agree, overall Siri is disappointing given where others platforms have progressed.

I just tried “set the lights to 100% and green” a few times on lights and it only got the first part, but it allowed me to do “set the lights to 100%" and then “set the lights to green" immediately afterwards, which it did get.

So from that, it's probably more so that it just "Continued Conversation" like Google Home and I think Alexa has had for awhile now, I don't think it was the contextual natural language commands that I think we were all hoping for.
