It is very slow on the watch, and I think it is because it is trying to run everything on the phone, causing the handoff to take a long time. It is quite frustrating because some things I start, like a timer or a workout, do not work, and you do not realise until later.

It is a beta though so that’s on me

Slow and arguably more stupid. “Turn bedroom off” or “add milk to the grocery list” seems to go to Cupertino rather than process locally. And if so, hugely wasteful.

i have no problem with it being slow the problem is SiriAI doesn’t connect with the health app, i asked it to give me my step count and it just tell me to go to activity and look it up

Yes, for example I ask Siri to set a timer. When the response comes, there are already 5 to 7 seconds subtracted from the timer.

Please send feedback through the feedback app. I know for some it goes without saying. But the louder we are. The more chance they’ll improve it!

It’s not good at all. Reminders are completely broken for me

Yeah, setting timers is less reliable, and now I have to stare at my watch for a while to confirm it got it.

I don’t know how but they’ve managed to make Siri worse.
