I genuinely hope they won't do that. Imo, they should at least put it behind a toggle in settings, so that i can keep using the "hey siri" trigger phrase.<p>I much prefer the "hey siri" and "ok google" triggers, as opposed to Amazon's "alexa" trigger. The latter approach makes it difficult to talk about it or even use that word without unintentionally triggering the device. Meanwhile, I had exactly zero unintentional triggers with Google Assistant or Siri.<p>And yes, I know that Amazon's echo devices allow in settings to switch to one of the other 5 or so trigger words, like "echo" or "computer". But they all suffer from the same issue of making it difficult to use those words in a conversation without accidentally triggering the device.
I've never used any of these voice assistants. Do people find it easier to yell "Hey Siri, set up an alarm for 1 hour" vs going to Clock app and setting one? Not bashing anyone, genuinely curious.
Apparently the name Siri comes from the Norwegian roots that the guy behind the company that made the technology has.<p>This is a quite common Norwegian name amongst girls. I can imagine this would cause a lot of funny and frustrating situations in Norway.
I wish that they would allow us to use different invocation names for different devices. The Watch can’t always do what the HomePod can and the HomePod can’t always do what the phone can. Yet, if you have them all responding the wrong one will often take the response and tell you that it can’t do that. I have to keep verbal invocation turned off on all of them except the HomePod most of the time and then much use a button to activate a specific instance of Siri.
