Siri use to use DuckDuckGo to search online when asking her to “search DuckDuckGo” followed by the search request. Why has Apple removed this? Siri now only searches using google. Siri removes the word DuckDuckGo from the search as if intentionally ignoring it. Was Apple paid to remove this by google? We want it
iPad Air 2, iOS 12
Go to Settings > Safari > Search Engine. You should be able to choose DuckDuckGo as your default.
That’s for safari. This issue is related to Siri no longer using DuckDuckGo. Its actually removing DuckDuckGo from the search request entirely
Update your iPad Air 2 to iPadOS 15, and try again.
The device is updated automatically and has the most current update. This isn’t a device issue
