Siri Acknowledgments after command

Apparently it’s been changed with iOS 16.3, so it’s not something you can change. You can however submit a suggestion to Apple to give you the option to have it respond. (Some people didn’t like it responding)

Feedback - HomePod - Apple

Not happy with this change. Although, one of my scenes does acknowledge it verbally, e.g. scene with all lights out with a "Hey Siri, good night" and the reply "The scene is set, Good Night!"

But yes, the "dong" is unwelcome change.

Apple is too arrogant now to offer options. Once you are used to a useful feature, they change it. Give us the option to keep, to silence, or tone.

You can still send feedback. They pay attention when they receive it from quite a few people.I know what you mean though about getting used to features. I sent feedback about them switching how you turn off alarms on Apple watch. I’m sure others might have as well. The following update it still wasn’t addressed, now it has been on the most recent update, still not to my liking but better. What I wish they would do is list this is what this update removed , instead of this is what it now does.
