Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users --MacRumors
On September 29, 2021, Mac Rumors, an IT news site dealing with Apple-related news, said, 'With the recent release of iOS 15, Apple has made some changes to Siri's functions, and it has weak eyesight and eyes. It seems that the features used by the handicapped iPhone users have been removed. '
According to MacRumors, it has been confirmed that the following commands are no longer available in Siri.
・ Is there a boil mail?
・ Voice mail playback
・ Check call history
・ Check recent calls
・ Who is calling?
·I send the mail
・ Send an email (to a specific person)
As a trial, the result of instructing Siri to 'check call history' on iPhone 13 with iOS 15 is as follows. At least you know that it's a call-related command, but I've been told, 'I can't help you with that.'
On the other hand, when I gave the same instruction on iPhone X with iOS 12.3.1, it properly recognized the command 'Check call history' and displayed 25 call histories.
This problem has been confirmed in versions other than iOS 15. The Apple Vis forum, a site that collects Apple-related information for the visually impaired and the visually impaired, says, 'People I support can use Siri to send emails on the iPhone 8 with iOS 14. I told him I couldn't do it. So I tried it on an iPhone SE with iOS 15 and Siri said, 'Sorry, it doesn't help.' Same with another device with iOS 12. I got a response. If this was a deliberate removal of a feature, it would definitely be a loss for some blind users who thought it was a convenient way to send a simple email. ' Is posted one after another.
MacRumors pointed out that 'Siri commands seem to have disappeared with the release of iOS 15, but it's not a problem related to iOS 15,' as some Siri commands are no longer available to iOS 14 users. I have.
MacRumors asked Apple if this issue was a bug, if there was an alternative command, etc., but there was no response at the time of writing the article. Meanwhile, the AppleVis forum has received a post from Apple support saying that it is 'aware of this issue,' so MacRumors said, 'There is a possibility that the disappeared features will be restored in the future. '.
